Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1985-12-23, Page 13a ,yrs from now folks will still talk out the way we celebrated the Big 150 By Milena Lobb The Christmas meeting of the S.S. No. 4 -Community Club was held at the home of Diane Lobb. President Marilyn Forbes led the members in prayer. Secretary Verna Lobb read the November minutes and treasurer Marlene Forbes gave the treasurer's report. Roll call was answered by 13 members and two visitors with "What Christmas Means to Me". It was decided to give $10 to the Town and Country Homemakers. Jeanette Lobb will host the January 8 meeting which will start at 12:30 p.m. with a potluck dinner. After the meeting was closed, everyone enjoyed a very interesting program which was organized by Phyllis Thompson and the "outside of the horseshoe". A poem, "Goderich Township 1- 5 - 0", opened the ac- tivities, followed by jumbled letters con- tests, readings and a Christmas carol con- test which included singing carols. With a bit of coaxing, club members were able to enjoy a solo by Cathi Cullen. Lunch which the "inside of the horse shoe" provided, followed the gift exchange which seemed to make everyone realize Christmas was get- ting close. People Everyone is busy rushing around getting that last minute gifts bought and wrapped, mothers are busy baking for the BIG meal which will be held one day during the week. Let us hope the weather will be good for travelling and everyone gets where they plan to go when they are expected. It seems the last few years, Christmas has been held on many different days because of snow storms. Murray and Marlene Forbes have just returned from visiting with Tom and Katherine Archibald and family at Rainbow Lake in northern Alberta. They visited with Craig and Shelley Taylor in St. Albert on the way home. I would like to say Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone who helped with the news over the past year. As you requested, here is the poem for your Goderich Township 1-5-0 scrapbook. "Goderich Township 1-5-0" In the year nine- teen hundred and eighty-five, Goderich Township really came alive. alive. It has been over one hundred and fifty year Since our first pioneers settled here. The celebrations started and will end with a dance, Get your ticket - don't take a chance On missing out on any of the fun. We've sure had lots since '85 begun. A fashion show, nature walk, Easter church service, to name a few Were some of the entertainment planned for me and you. All township folk just had to get in the grove Cause come July the celebrating would real- ly start to move. Gerry Ginn, our chairman of the 1-5-0 Did a great job of keeping things in tow - With many a problem he had to deal Now it is almost over - Happy he must feel. Mid -July was such a busy time for all Helping set up booths, tents, schools and hall. Up and down the road the cars did go Gathering this and that, getting ready for the show. There was LOTS to do - no time to be bored, At the Try-Hard's ball game how the crowd roared. There was the BBQ, bus trips and the Farm Show, Lots of ball games and even WINTARI-ARI- O. July 19th we showed.an awful lot of folks, Who thought a parade in Holmesville was a BIG JOKE, That nowhere could a bigger or better parade be seen, And our township had its own King and Queen. Holmesville really grew that summer day, Close to ten thousand lined up along the parade way, The judges were in for a BIG surprise too Cause they thought they'd have nothing to do. Former residents came home from far and near, Shared memories with old friends and some shed a tear. The plate with the Disney Wagon is now in many a home And there's a look telling about the land we roam. Almost gone but not forgotten is this very important year In the history of Goderich Township - But have no fear, Years from now folks will still talk we know About the way WE celebrated our BIG 1-5-0!
