Seaforth gardeners all winners, regardless
of Communities in Bloom .results
To the Editor,
As I drove into Seaforth on Friday morning,
everything looked amazing! Lawns were mani-
cured, flower. boxes overflowing and colour
everywhere! I was proud of my hometown.
Whether the judges reward you for your
efforts or not you are still winners! You made
Seaforth look better than ever before and you
made us all proud
We had many visitors this summer from both
sides of the border and they all commented on
what a pretty town we have. Hopefully we can
afford to do this every year and my suggestion
is that we sell tickets to do garden tours just
like they do at Christmas for home tours.
Being an avid gardener, who still has much to
Huron East praised for
tender of Vanastra gates
To the Editor,
I read with interest the recent
announcement that Huron East
council has approved a tender to
repair the Vanastra gates.
It was refreshing to know that
some elected officials appreciate
the significance of commemorating
the former RAF/RCAF Station
Clinton.
The restored gates, along with a
plaque and memorial parkette will
become another attraction for visi-
tors to this area. Funding for the
ongoing maintenance of the facility
could be raised through the sale of
paving bricks engraved with the
names of former station personnel,
local veterans, etc.
Well done Huron -East council!

through, some of the lawns that you have

so that Seaforth can be this beautiful every
summer!
