Exhibits were set in place ready tor the judging on Friday afternoon, and in the evening many exhibitors returned to view the results. Saturday was the day of the big parade, and for the organizers the torrential rain must have proved so disheartening. However, not for the participants for despite the deluge it soon became clear that even more floats than usual were lining up ready to go. Their persistence was rewarded for the rain stopped and a wonderful variety of imaginative and fascinating floats set off down Main Street to the Arena. Along the route lamp_. but, enthusiastic viewers ap- plauded the entries. By the time the parade reached the fair grounds the sun had also come out to watch, HEY!

The Society is grateful to the business people of Bayfield and area and to the many organizations and in- dividual people without whose help the fair could not continue. Much ap- preciation by the Bayfield Agricultural Society. and Don Besley of St. Paul's awaited the ar- rival, acting as master of ceremonies and announcing the winners in various classes. Overall, secretary Audrey Graham, said the 130th Fair had turned out to be a great success, and despite the weather the op- timism of those who took part wa" well rewarded. As always the horses were a great attraction, and this year the participa- tion of the Saddle Club added a new and in- teresting element. Other well supported sec- tions included calves, sheep, poultry and 4-11. In the vegetable section the number of en- tries were down, but listening to exhibitors it soon became clear that this was due to the less than good growing season, and not lack of enthusiasm. As always there was a fine selection of baking preserves, ceramics,. sewing, knitting and crafts.

In particularly fine form, and revealing a .different aspect of his personality, was Jim Swan from CFPL - T.V., London, who as master of ceremonies did an exceptional job in co-ordinating the program with humor and spontaneity. Reeve of Bayfield, David Johnston, in- troduced the 1986 members of the Bayfield Agricultural Society commending them for the work and effort which they contributed to the planning and organization of the Fair, which as he said, took months of prepara- tion to stag such a comprehensive event. Next it was time for the draw. Some of the nominees were not present and the final results were as follow: Mr Fair Lady - Judy Otterbein, lst Fair Maiden - Judy Huntley and 2nd Fair Maiden - Pat Carson. As their • names were drawn they were each presented with a sash and a corsage and a special mug. In turn the ladies commented on their connections with the village and their appreciation at being selected to take a part in the Fair. A musical interlude followed, a concerted effort of the Otterbein family which provid- ed a lively example of their individual talents together with those of Rose Taman and Steve Argyle. Moving on to the next part of the program, Mr. Swan stressed the importance of fairs and the ways in which they reflected a com- entries also displayed some original and in- munity with so much unstinting volunteer Bayfield Fair is a very special event participation. ation.

It is an occasion for renewing old acquaintances and making new friends, for stimulating in- terest in all sorts of local activities, meeting the youngest competitors at the baby show to some of the older members of the com- munity whose recollections of the fairs go back over many years. Heavy costs of in- surance coverage threaten these traditional fairs but it is hoped that Bayfield will find a way to continue.

All items in stock on Soleil introduced the Reeve of Stanley Township, Clarence Rau who commented on the success of the recent 150 celebrations in the township. Reeve Rau named his steering committee, who he said, had done such a magnificent job in setting up the event, and said he was happy to be present on an occasion which intimated the ties between the Village and the Township,. Gordon Hill, chairman of the committee introduced Nancy Webster who presented her prize-winning essay "What It Will Be Like Tomorrow". Her imaginative composi- tion combined humor, reality and an ap- preciation of life in a small community. Lori Consitt, 1986 Huron County Queen of the Furrow, delighted the audience with her lively dissertation on "The Farmer's Hat". Mr. Hill then went on to pay tribute to all those who had contributed to the success of the 150 celebration.. It was an event, -he said, to honor their forefathers who never gave up to adversity and who had worked so hard to build a community. He interspersed his comments with droll stories which brought an immediate response from the audience. President of the Bayfield Agricultural Society, Carol Penhale, thanked the organizers, Joyce Chilton, Lynn Halonen and Sharon Sinnamon and congratulated them on their successful project. A surprise item was the presentation of a carved clock to Audrey Graham as an expression of ap- preciation from the Society for the wonder- ful job she has done in organizing the Fairs for the past 15 years. Concluding the evening Sharon Sinnamon presented Jim Swan with a special mug and an invitation to join everyone for refreshments being served by the Bayfield Lioness. Bayfielder wins By Helen Owen For the first time since its inception, the winner of the LACAC Raffle for 'A Thousand Dollar Weekend in Bayfield', is a local resident. The lucky winner was Lorinda Telford who says she bought a ticket just for fun, and at first, when she received a phone call telling her the news she thought it was a joke. Lorinda, who has been working at the Little Inn for the past two and a half years is delighted with her good fortune. She is look- ing forward to a real spending spree, and as she is familiar with the Bayfield stores already has some ideas, but she says, she is planning to share with her family. This is the third year that LACAC has organized the fun raising raffle to assist their heritage and conservation policies, and once again the committee is indebted to business people in the community for their generous support. Bayfield Rec. Committee Following the letter sent out by the Bayfield Recreation Committee seeking funding for the completion of the ball dia- mond project, Chairman Joan Cluff, would like to thank all those who have been so pro - raffle mpt in supporting the appeal. This has been very encouraging, and it is hoped, that those who support the final objective, but have not yet done so, will be making their contribu- tions in the near future. United Church News Next Sunday, August 31, will be celebrated by Bayfield's St. Andrew's United Church as "Anniversary Sunday". The guest speaker will be Deborah Hoekstra, daughter of the Rev. John Hoekstra, who will be taking over shortly with half time duties at Hibbert United Church and Main Street United Church in Mitchell.

Pre -birthday treat f Jean Bell A very well kept secret provided a sur- prise for Mrs. Jean Bell of Bayfield on Sun- day, August 25. She was expecting to visit the peach orchard and have dinner with her son, but instead was taken to the Barn, the family cottage on the Goderich Road where we found all the family, brother, sisters, children, grandchildren and great grand- children awaiting her. But that was just a beginning for a -bus had been chartered and... an itinerary planned to take Mrs. Bell and the family on a tour of her former homes, 0 r r where she was born and raised, where she lived following her marriage and raised her children, including two or three places in Goderich Township and the farm in Bayfield, all still occupied with one exception. Such a journey evokes many memories and Mrs. Bell recalled a particularly cold, hard winter in the '30s when while staying with a family member, a blacksmith, the temperature dropped so much that the ap- ple orchards were frozen! Such orchards were a gathering wag a wonderful opportunity for taking family pictures and the . occasion was enlivened by music provided by Mrs. Bell's granddaughter. A wonderful dinner had been prepared at the Barn complete with a magnificent birth- day cake, and although Mrs. Bell will not be celebrating her 80th birthday until October, her family who had undertaken the organization felt that this would be an ideal time to carry out their plan. Western holidayers return Barb and Al Betties of Goderich Township have returned from a five week holiday in Western Canada. One of the highlights of their trip was the 25th Wedding Anniversary of Jayne and Mac Taylor near Dawson Creek, British Col- umbia. After returning from a dinner in Dawson Creek to their home, Jayne and Mac were surprised to find 25 friends waiting their return. The gremlins had been busy during their two hour absence and their home was beautifully decorated with bells, streamers, a wine and cheese party all arranged and an anniversary cake to top off the celebration. Anne, Jayne _ and Mac's_, only daughter, was pianist and played "The Anniversary Waltz" and "Let me call you Sweetheart". While the cake was being cut by the favored couple, each guest held a lighted taper and sang "For they are jolly good fellows". Jayne and Mac replied fittingly. Many love- ly gifts were received. The Peace River Regional - Weekly Newspaper carried the wedding photo of Jayne and Mac. Congratulations to the winner of our free draw last weekend at our booth at the Bayfield Fall Fair. The winner of the cooler was HILDA BELL of Bayfield. Thanks to all for stopping by and entering. At Naxtoon, Alberta, the Betties visited the Loree's and while there Alvin helped Bill round up cattle on horseback on the ranch situated in the Foothills of the Rockies. From here they journeyed on to Medicine Hat, Alberta visiting Al's cousins - Erma and Chas Rabourne. At Buffalo Pound Lake, Sask., they spent a few days with Hazel Parker and friends. At Shoal Lake, Manitoba, they visited Jack and Mabel Wright, cousins of Barb's. They returned home via Northern Ontario and Manitoulin Island, crossing to "the Tub" on the Chi- Cheemaun.
