Children's Fest
a success
This past Saturday, Big Brothers Big
Sisters of South Huron proudly held a
very successful Children's Festival. We
saw lots of families come out to join us in
the fun. Kids left with bags full of goodies,
their faces painted and most importantly,
big smiles.
Being a not-for-profit organization,
money is always tight. We could not have
nm this event without the financial assis-
tance of our sponsors. Thank you to the
local businesses who sponsored our
activity stations, and allowed us to pur-
chase craft supplies, games and prizes,
and who sponsored our barbecue. Thank
you to those who donated towards our
door prizes, our yard sale and who
helped make the day a fun -filled one in
various other ways.
A big thank you to all of those who
helped make this day possible. Thank
you goes out to Linda Finkbeiner, who
approached the agency with the idea of
holding a Children's Festival. What start-
ed out as a small idea quickly blossomed
into a large event requiring a whole
parking lot! We would like to thank
Linda for all her hard work
and enthusiasm, and for
the time she invested! >r
into organizing this
event, and her help .00
the day of. As well,
thank you to Jim
Finkbeiner, for all the
help prepar-
ing along the
way, and being
there from start to finish to
lend a hand wherever needed.
A big thank you to Mike
Wilhelm and Paul
Schwartzentruber for being
there all day and for all of their
help with setting up, assisting
where needed, and cleaning
up.
Without these individuals, the
day would not have happened.
As well, the day would not have
run without our Bigs, Littles,
parents and community volun-
teers who volunteered their
time to run booths and be on

Bluewater man fails breath test
SOUTH HURON — On July 5 a traffic stop was initiated on Main
Street in South Huron. After speaking to the driver a demand for a
roadside alcotest was made. The driver failed the test, was arrested
and taken to the Exeter OPP Detachment where he provided two
more samples of his breath to a qualified breathalyzer technician.
The results of the tests confirmed that the driver was over the legal
limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol. The male was also found to be in
possession of suspected cannabis marijuana at the time of the stop. A
20 -year-old Bluewater man will return to Exeter Court October 23,
facing one count of possession of a controlled substance, one count of
driving with over 80 milligrams of alcohol and one count of breaching
probation.
