As usual, the parade started at Graham's General Store and led by the Ipper- wash Cadet Band, proceeded along the route to the Agricultural Grounds. This year's version of the parade included several floats and horse drawn vehicles, anti- que cars, costumed' mar- chers and a bevy of decorated bicycles to name a few. Along the way, many hi - jinx occurred as two dif- ferent 'fire vehicles' dowsed the crowd with tiny streams of water. As they passed Bayfield Fire Chief Don Warner's home, they noted he was sitting on the porch and let the water fly, but moments later, he appeared out on the street with a huge bucket of water and the big grin on his face denoting that Don had won the battle of the H2O. In the fair grounds, it was time to • hand out the prize money to the winning parade contestants and this year's winners were as follows: Children in Costume, Julie Porter (blue lady), Kelly Brandon (Dolly Parton), Lisa Phillips (Paha i: -'e); Adults in Costume: Gale King.(going to the wedding), Andy Rogers (E.A.T.), Betty Smith and Lea Ann Veysey;. Small Children on Bikes: Vicki Smith, Ricard Smith, Lisa Shepherd; . Other Decorated Bikes: Toby Gar- rett, Scott Beattie, John Bur- ton; 'Miscellaneous Carts: Duane Siertsema, Shame and David Rouse; The Old Woman That Lived in the Shoe; floats, Gammages Under the Big Top, the –Garden Club, Knox Presbyterian Choir; Antique Cars, Howard Scotchmer (28 Chevy) ; Pony Riders, Kevin Dunn; Donkey Drawn Rig, Jodi Merrier. Winners in the Frolic Ticket Draw were as follows: ,$200, Kathy Leppr ington; $25 winners, Audrey Graham, Ruth Moore, Phyllis Jones and Murray Holmes. There were also many bingo winners and many winners in the Lioness Penny Sale which was held upstairs in the Community Centre. Although the win- ners here are too numerous to mention we should say • that the winner of the big ,Penny Sale prize, the $50 money tree, was Wil Telford of Bayfield. .Qn the grounds of the Frolic, there was plenty to do with the games of skill, the kiddies rides, the band concert and all,the good con- cession stands. The Turtle Races were missing this year because of a shortage of turtles, but a new attraction for Bayfield was the 'Dunk Tank'.. Although there was a malfunction in the electrical hook-up, fairgoers •got.to see Bob . Snell 1 and Jerry Johnston go into the water several times before they had to� pack it up for the night. These guys made too ,01 big of a splash when 'they hit the water and the wiring got damp, and shorted out. However, everyone stuffed themselves with hot dogs and candied apples and all had a good time at the - Frolic. The Lions Club would like to thank all who participated in this event and helped to make is a success. On the greens Another fun night was held Tuesday, July 21. It was a two -ball obstacle golf night and it was something to see men (and ladies) too, teeing off on the first hole sitting on a chair. (Not as -Easy as it looks). But it was a lot of laughs for the players when the ninth hole was com- pleted. The winners were Kay Sharp and Gerry Stirl- ing, 2nd `place Jean Bartliff and Ed Oddleifson, third place winners were Florie Oddleifson and Jim Garrett. This week will be a two ball match. Next Tues., August 4 will be another fun night. „ The men's Thursday right league have a real battle go- ing on for team leadership with six weeks to go.
