The two-day event is also the best fundraiser for the museum which gets a percentage of the more than $60,000 in sales this year. Outside the front entrances of the museum, Lia Vandenberk and Annie Grootjens, representing Vandenberk produce, were pusily selling carrots, onions, potatoes and green peppers. Their daughters, Jacqueline Vandenberk and Johnanna Grootjens were selling produce at the Grand Bend Farmers Market; a real fami- ly affair. About 70 exhibitors filled the museum, with 15 artisans each in Galleries A and B, 20 in the farm machinery exhibit buildings and nearly 20 more outside, braving the weather. Even the rainy weather on Saturday couldn't faze some of these hardy craftsmen, who came prepared to "weather" any storm. This was the very first craft show for Harold and Dorothy Brown of Sar- nia, but they faced the elements like seasoned troupers, with a small house trailer. An awning set-up allowed visitors . to browse shielded from the elements through Christmas table cen- - trepieces, lovely straw hats and some unusual clown dolls swinging on hoops - a delight for some child's bedroom. They were quite pleased with the - sales. A tent provided shelter for the beautiful tole painting of D. Moore, of the Country Goose in Strathroy. Mr. Moore works full time at his craft, with original tole designs on wooden shelves, animals, and some • grapevine -decorated mirrors and wreaths. One of the best examples of his fine work is a "welcome friends" sign, featuring a cozy little cottage in the centre. In the White Exhibit Building, you could shop for wreaths of all kinds, herbs, woodcrafts, beadwork, stain- ed glass, knitting, and gourmet preserves. Business was generally felt to be good, with more serious buyers on rainy Saturday, and bigger crowds with more browsing on Sunday. Several exhibitors inside the museum said they were sold out of many items. A few, who were to par- ticipate in a craft show next week wondered how they would be able to have an adequate supply, unless they "burned the midnight oil" turning out new crafts. Is that classified as brag -- ging or complaining? Carmichael's Candy Store was narked in the museum's tea room, to dispense beer nuts and fudge to 0 hungry shoppers. Don and Dorothy Simpson Lucan, represent Colonial Manor Woodcraft, with wooden clocks, • small chests. trays, kids' furniture and planters. One of their hott4•st items was the perfect gift for your son's bedroom. a clothesrack made out of three hockey sticks and two pucks, with pegs at the top. If that doesn't get your boy to hang up his clothes nothing will! Jean Bolt showed her expertise as potter from the Pottery Barn, in plat- ters, bowls, jars, mugs, and cute lit- tle apple bakers. By Sunday after- noon, she was nearly sold out. - Mary Stumpf, London exhibited her crafts from- Mary's .Country Heart, with delicate stencilling on both wood and fabric, in place mats, dolls, ducks, pigs, pillows, wreaths and pot holders. One of Mary's newest designs is a tiny wooden village with tiny pegs to hang smaller itmes for display, and add country charm to . your home. Ann McInnes, Strathroy of Ann's Attic, shows what beautiful objects can be made out of odd items, like painted ringholders from tidy oil cans, or "calico country gals" in love- ly gingham gowns, with a pop bpttle base. Millie and Verne bates, London, are in it together, in Millverene Manor Crafts. Verne's speciality is Worship services in GB churches This Sunday at the Grand Bend' Church of God, the people were greeted by Joy and Qerald Mason. The call to worship came from Psalm 67 - "May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face to shine upon us." _ - The morning message from Pastor Desjardine was taken from Acts 11. Peter was an Apostle to the Gentiles, Barnabus was a supporter, Agabus was a prophet who foretold a coming famine. Each one followed Jesus' command. - to be a light in a dark world. In the evening service, the Pdstor preached from 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul exhorts the Christians to use the spiritual gift that God has given each one to minister in the Church. The Youth Group have a hay ride coming up on October 30, set for 5 p.m., at the Whipple Tree Stables. The Beaconaires will meet November 2 with a special guest to sing for them. The "Proclaimers", a musical group from Kitchener who play on 'harmonicas,; will perform at the Church of God on November 8. Everyone is welcome to attend. Father Paul Beck celebrated all of the weekend Masses at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church this past weekend. Reader for the 11 a.m. Mass on Sunday was Billy Spindler. John and Adriana Smeekins were Eucharistic Minister's. Lydia Duchou V was cantor, and led the choir at Com; minion in "Peace is Flowing like a River". Paul Dietrich was organist. In his sermon`Father Beck asked, "What is our business in life? Is it hard work, a good family, church attendance?" The Christian lifestyle has to do with both God and our fellow human beings. Two saints who exemplify this ideal are Mother Elizabeth Seaton, who founded a religious order, schools and hospitals, and Saint Peter Claver, a parish priest who administered to poor black slaves in the 1600's. Jesus said we must love God and love our neighbor as ourselves - sounds easy, but it's difficult to do in practice. During the Marian Year, the Thurs- day 7:15 p.m. Masses will be celebrated in Mary's honor to focus on different aspects of her life and influence. - Sunday, November 1, -will be the celebration of the feast of All Saints. Monday, November 2, will be a special 7:15 p.m. Mass to celebrate the Feast of All Souls, to remember all deceased members of the parish. Remember the special Christmas.

They concluded the lesson on "Can I Create Peace?" and had a lit- tle time left to introduce -the next lesson, number 7, "Do I Try To -Play God?" is based upon I Samuel 31 to II Samuel 2:7. In this lesson, they have to consider whether they are rushing ahead, try- ing to do only what God can do.
