Night held at the Bayfield Community Centre on May 7. (Photo by Dianne Brandon)
Over 130 women took part in the Ladies' Night hosted by the Bayfield Optimist Club on the
evening of May 7. Due to the closeness to Cinco de Mayo a Mexican theme was chosen for
both food and decor — the fact that it was Mother's Day weekend was also not lost on
organizers.
Featured entertainment for the evening included a local group of Belly Dancers in addition to
comedienne Elvira Kurt.

dancing lesson. (Photo by Dianne Brandon)
Kurt is currently the host of MTV's "My Fabulous Gay Wedding" and she had her own TV show
on the Comedy Network known as "Popcultured".Organizers were extremely pleased to have
this highly sought after performer, who was also voted Funniest Female Comedian at the
Canadian Comedy Awards, grace the stage at the Bayfield Community Centre.
"The evening was a success and the ladies had a great time," said Optimist Dianne Brandon.
"We had beautiful centerpieces donated by TE -EM Farm and they were given away as door
prizes. We would like to thank all that came out and to all who donated to the silent auction and
the elimination draw."
The profits from the event will go toward youth related local projects which is the mandate of
the Bayfield Optimist Club, "Friends of Youth".
Interested BACC members may have two tickets to
the breakfast; these are available at no charge on a
first requested, first given basis.
The event will be held at the Bayfield Town Hall with
coffee being served at 7:30 a.m. followed by
breakfast at 8 a.m.
The guest speaker will be Mike Pullen, senior
economic development officer for Huron County. His
topic is entitled, "Creative Potential: Bluewater and
the Economy".

due to traffic; it would figure they would close the Gardiner Expressway for maintenance on Rally Day — thus overloading Lake Shore Blvd. However, we
were sure to get to the Molson Amphitheatre early for the closing campfire to secure great seats — and this Guiding sing -along was truly amazing. And of course there was the craziness
of keeping up with and track of several very excited girls that could easily disappear into a sea of other very excited girls. I was very pleased to see that our young ladies delighted in
meeting and trading crests with others from across the province.
And then 15 hours after it all began it was over. The bus rolled back into Bayfield about 11 p.m., I had reached official giddy status somewhere around 9:45 p.m. so a good sound sleep
was not really in the cards especially with the song "Sisters for a Century", written in honor of the day, still echoing in my ears.
Yep, I'm still tired but I'd do it again after all I will only be 92 when the 150th comes around. - Melody
