The decision to create a time capsule came from an idea of Rob Hoffman and Erich Freiter. They felt that in either 50 or 100 years into the future, the 200th or 250th Friedsburg committee could open the time capsule and display it at their event. All members of the committee sought out items to include into the capsule. The artefacts were sealed into a specially con- structed steel box manufactured and donated by Broeder's Steel of Dashwood. The box has a sealed nozzle to evacuate the air from the box after it had been sealed, so that the contents can remain in their original condition for the next century. Among the items includes are: • A copy of the Calvary United Church and membership book; • A copy of the Zion Lutheran Church history book and membership book; • Various Bluewater Tug -of -War men's and ladies memorabilia and Smith Peat trophy; • A copy of the Exeter Times Advocate and The Lakeshore Advance dated July 31, 2010 - the weekend of the Friedsburg cel- ebrations held in Dashwood last year; • A copy of the London Free Press from December 3, 2011; • A copy of In Touch Magazine; • An International Ploughing Match cal- endar by Doug Nutt; • Pictures of the tombstones of Noah and Absalom Fried, founders of Dashwood; • A collection of coins, from 1890 to present day, including 1967 centennial coins, 2010 Olympic coins, A series of four coins showing the 4 monarchs that ruled from the founding of Dashwood to the present day: Queen Victoria, King George the Fifth, King George the Sixth and Queen Elizabeth; • A copy of the 125th Anniversary Friedsburg history book; • Various DVD disks showing past parades and history; • A compilation of Darlene O'Rourke's businesses and buildings of interest. • DVD of the 1020 Friedsburg Parade; • A blackberry communications device; • Phone directories 1922, 1960 and 2010; • History book from Hay Communica- tions 2011.
