Red Hat Societyvisits S
Exeter Elder Berries tour Cardno's Hall and shop on Main Street
By Susan Hundsrtmark
Expositor Editor
A visit by members of the
Red Hat Society's Exeter
Elder Berries to Seaforth last
week transported a couple of
women back to their teen
years when they danced at
Seaforth's Cardno Hall.
"It was back when I was
14 or 15 and was growing
up between Seaforth and
Clinton," said Lorraine
Alexander, of Exeter.
"Girls and guys would
come on a Friday or
Saturday night and , do
square dances, waltzes and
French minuets. We would
dance every dance," she
said.
The Exeter women were
in Seaforth Thursday to
enjoy a luncheon at Hurley's
Celtic Inn, tour Cardno's
Hall and shop on Main
Street.
During the tour of
Cardno's Hall, Yvonne
Reynolds, of Exeter, also
remembers attending dances
there.

Burdene Morgan and Lil Mclellan, both of Exeter, examine the artifacts at Seaforth's Cardno's
Hall during a visit by their Red Hat Society last week.
"I remember a young chap
who could really waltz and
he made me feel like the
greatest dancer," she said.
The Red Hat Society, a
group of women over 50
who wear purple clothing
and red hats with the
purpose of having fun and
feeling good about aging, is
a growing movement across
North American.
The Exeter group is an
offshoot of a group started
in Bayfield, which includes
several Seaforth members.
While the Exeter group
has 22 members and can
only hold 25, they welcome
new members and offer to
be an umbrella group to
Seaforth women who want
to start their own group of
the Red Hat Society.
Dublin Lions get grant
for new steel roof for hall
After a year of planning and fundraising,
the Dublin hall will soon have a new look.
The Dublin Lions Club recently received a
$25,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium
Foundation to put a new steel roof on the hall.
"We really didn't know how much we
would receive so this is great. Now we can
begin on getting this project done," said Don
Ruston, Dublin Lions Club president.
The repairs to the roof cost $12,000 but
Ruston said the club is also repairing damage
to the ceiling tile and updating the insulation
and lighting.
"This is the original roof from when the
hall was built in the 70s, so it's about time for
it to be fixed," he said. "It has leaked in
different areas for so long. So we have been
planning this upgrade."
Ruston said the club first approached West
Perth Council, who owns the Helen Street
building, for assistance since repairs are not
covered by insurance because the water
damage had occurred over the past few years.
"We're really thankful to Pat Taylor (West
Perth clerk) for helping us apply for the
Trillium grant ," he said.
"These little community centres - it's hard
to get them used enough to pay for
themselves."
He added that the hall is mainly used by the
Lions and the Athletic Association, who are
in charge of renting out the facility.
Ruston said the Lions began raising
money for the building renovations a year
ago. Funds were raised through different
events including dances and the 300 club
draw.
The Lions also recently held another
fundraising event said Ruston, with its first
Country Show and Dance.
"It was very successful. There was a great
turn out and it was really a lot of fun," he
said, adding that the club appreciates the help
from Mitchell resident and fiddler Bill Irving
for helping to organize the event.
"We probably wouldn't have been able to
do this without all the help we had," said
Ruston.
He said a volunteer crew of Lions
members, the Athletic Association and local
people will be starting on the repairs to the
hall within the next couple of weeks and they
plan to have it completed before June.
