(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.

Part of the fun of Ladies' Night is trying new things, here several of the women who attended take a belly dancing lesson.

We would like to thank all that came out and to all who donated to the silent auction and the elimination draw."

In the wee morning hours of May 15, 1 boarded one bus among a Fleet of 214 from across the province that was bound for Ontario Place. Our bus and a second one were filled to near overflowing with girls and women from Bayfield, Clinton, Goderich, Brussels and Lucknow who joined 14,463 others in participating in Rally Day.

I was disappointed that we missed the majority of the opening ceremonies 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 Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
