themselves even more than the
kids, • •
Joanne' McCosh's craft
display • was rained• 'out but
enough enthusiastic craft lovers
took time off to see what tieiF'"
children made at craft time.
Friday *as a busy day
because of the Pet Show and the
Water Safety Show. Both events
where successful not because of
the ..lame participation but
.because : of the enjoyment the
youngsters had.

was the highlight of the evening.
.,Last week was probably the
most frustrating time of July.
On Tuesday, the p,:e-testing for.
• Red Cross was to be done but a .
change in' our planswas made by
an act of nature. Due to the
great abundance of rain the
sewers backec "up causing a valve
in the filters to turn which
emptied dour pool..No water -no
pre -testing, so it, was scheduled
for . thy, afternoon. Luckily the
weather 'hel'd out and the
pre -testing was completed. '

insisted on is:su i ;ig ; theques for
space to exhibit their handwork.
.. A space of two feet sold by
Mrs. McCharles from her table,
to four t. young lads from
Burlington, created ' a ^ lot of
interest as they sold• their wares
calling themselves the Stone Age
Kids ».
Perhaps, they had more -
money clear thap Most ass, they -
had very little expense: They
had fun, and wanted to her back
nett '° year, but with one
understanding -- that they have
the same . ,
The oldspotest exhibitor was
from Haldimaid County, a dear
old lady, over 90 with tables`
cloths and bed spreads . for
display - hand crocheted .and
beautiful, frail, but so artistic.
' The Frontiersmen did, a job
on security and created an
attraction as well:
• Baked goods, preserves and
produce sold quickly and
indicates the need for a farmers
market in Lucknow.
The space for next year's
Festival (if there is to be one) -
is completely , sold out,• if
requests for such are ' any
indication. .
Every booth owner this year
with the exception of two
indicated thein desire to return
next year and in -most cases to
. 'the same area allotted to them
this year.

More than ; once I have
mentioned our Hot "Dog King,
Pete Zimmerman. Pete has
' friends all over the world who
recall with pleasure his great
"hot dogsr. `
So, ;what do 1 say last ,,week
when I •mentioned ' that my
granddaughter from ' Florida was
gbuirto sample Pete's wares and
see,�pl they„were*-as„ food .as her
mother and, Lather said�theywere
- '? I said "Pete's Hamburgers!”,
• HAMBURGERS -!` and Pete
has always just stayed with the
vveiner, frankfurter, "hot dog"
„type of delicacy.
Was I embarrassed!
Anyway,. ; pete.,,. has .. been
driving his 1925 Model T Weiner
Wagon to the Square for 41
years now. He.started 'during the
1930 depression and a hot dog
at that time'sold for 10 cents'or
2 for 15, or 2 hot dogs and .2,
bottles of pop for a quarter.
Ir's hard to' believe that with
the.,..cost of everything rising out
of sight - and reason - Pete's
"hot dogs with all the trimmins"
"is° only 30'» tcents., - and the smile
and the greeting still go with it.
Thanks Pete, I think you're
just. GREAT! .
I know many are interested -
and 1, for one want to welcome
backto Goderich, Lorraine and
-Bill 'Jones •-(LT/Cmdr Jones,
that is!)

Where,once there was a'dwelling, ,

Someone walked in those .green

Wandering' in their days of
'childhood in the meadows to

• Maybe in the bright June seasons.{
when , thehay was getting
ripe,
Someone 'played in those same

about their -like husbands.
Linda and Jim also visited

Laura Currie of Florida. is Fred's
sister), and visited friends in
Brighton, Trenton and Belleville.
