Another success
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - August 21 and 22, saw the
culmination of all the work which goes into
the preparations for the Bayfield Fall Fair,
work which extends to the clearing up for
one year to the opening of the next. But
there was no doubt that it was a tremendous
success. Despite the lack of rain there were
still lots of entries in the horticultural sec-
ul fair
tion and growers of flowers and vegetables
provided a wonderful display in the arena.
And what a demonstration of art and in-
dustry was portrayed in the craft section,
hours of work in every section, sewing,
ceramics, embroidery and quilting. The
children too showed initiative with their at-
tractive exhibits.
The morning had been overcast but as the
Villagers will miss Alex ...
• from page 10
there were happenings noir in the Village
this week. Bud Robinson, a popular resident
of Bayfield, was injured as he came out of
the Foodland Parking Lot on his motorcy-
cle, into that mad traffic on Highway 21 at
Clan Gregor Square. He is badly shaken up
and recovering painfully from cracked
vertebrae. Perhaps cooler weather will in-
duce drivers to travel with more care and so
prevent more trouble at this hazardous spot.
Our business people have been hit by
sorne major shoplifting, d costly thing for
everyone.
One boy's bicycle was stolen from his
home, and Sue Burton, returning from
holidays, received a miserable anonymous
letter implying that her very well cared for
dogs were running free.
Complaints about dogs are nothing new in
the village. We remember our ratepayers
meeting, when a well known lady, who shall
be nameless, was voicing her opinion about
dogs running loose, as though on cue, a dog
walked in and settled himself at her feet.
Her own of course.
Well, anonymous letters are nasty things,
newspapers refuse to publish them. Nasty,
nasty happenings noir.
Much more pleasant news, Knox
Presbyterian Church invites all their
friends to attend the annual potluck dinner,
August 30 following morning worship.
Trinity Anglican Church Women will
resume their regular monthly meetings on
September 8, in the parish hall. President
Gladys Malcolm urges all members of the
church to attend.
St. Andrew's had an especially happy day
for their 85th anniversary.
A highlight of the morning service, was a
solo, sung by Molly Cox, whose role as
organist, prevents her listeners from enjoy-
ing her singing voice more often.
The special evening service was well at-
tended, with singers and performers from
other congregations, joining in this pleasant
occasion.
Members of the Bayfield Pottery Club
wish to thank all those who participated in
the lamp raffle at the Bayfield Fair.
Rick Penhale, president of the Fair drew
Eleanor Menard's ticket.
The winner comes from Windsor but sum-
mers in Jellystone Park - and what nicer
setting could be found for the hand crafted
lamp.
A community shower will be held in the
basement of St. Andrew's United Church on
September 3 at 7:30 p.m. for Serena Chilton,
bride -elect of Bob Snell.

YOUNG PERFORMER
Last Monday, August 17, Victoria Bisback
of Hensall performed for the preliminary
judging of the Southwestern Ontario Junior
Talent Show at the Western Fair grounds.
She sang the song "Tomorrow" from the hit
show "Annie."
Unfortunately Victoria was not among the
small group of semi-finalists chosen to ap-
pear at the Western Fair next month. The
effort displayed by this young lady deserves
to be admired and the experience was well
worth it despite not winning. Victoria is the
daughter of Peter and .Janis Bisback.

take to the turf

CRC productions will host the first of four
snowmobile events scheduled for this year.

minal speeds of 100 miles per hour.
All classes will be racing, from the crate
stock classes through the modified, right up
to the wild and wooly open ►nodifieds.
A snowmobile right off the showroom
floor can race in the crate stock class, which
provides a way for potential racers to gain
experience under controlled conditions.
The racing begins at 12 noon August all at
Hully Gully, Varna.
Sorne All Terrain Vehicle i A'l'V l drags

ceremonies, Don Besley introduced Murray
Cardiff, MP, Jack Riddell, MPP Minister of
Agriculture for Ontario, Warden of Huron
County, Brian McBurney, brought greetings
as did village Reeve, David Johnston and
Reeve Grant Stirling from Goclerich

Following the announcement of the prize
winners in the parade, the large crowds
dispersed to enjoy all the other events. The
horses were spectacular with six entries in
the four horse hitches, and the saddle club
(SHABHA1, provided a great display of
Western and English riding styles.
No agricultural fair would be complete
without the livestock, and here again some
fine entries created a good deal of interest
with sheep, calves and poultry.
The Bayfield Lions were in evidence %Vail
their midway, and the fish pond was as
popular as ever with the children.
Inside the arena, Rayfield babies com-
peted in the baby show, and there was plen-
ty to see with the concessions and elaborate
displays of local organizations, and of
course, the baking section which displayed
the mouth watering expertise of the en-
trants in this section.
Altogether the organizers are delighted
that once again the Agricultural Society has
demonstrated the popularity of this annual
event.
