The Bluewater girls' team won first place in their category and the GB O.P.Y. with flashing light and all had a good race as well. With the shorter hours enforced by council earlier this year, there was no problems and the Chamber of Com- merce did very well financially said Deputy -reeve Harold Green. He said that as indicated by Sgt. Adams of the U.Y.P. from this year's crowd, there should be no problem with future Burgertests. The Chamber sponsors such great events as the Canada Day fireworks, Sandcastle Day prizes, Farmers Market in the fall and many more because of the good revenue from Burgerfest weekend.
