(Photo by Scott Bradford) TO V" HALL On Nov. 26 the Bayfield Town Hall will welcome back the London Citadel Salvation Army Band for their fifteenth annual Christmas Concert. Their appearance on the town hall stage is a holiday tradition for many and should not be missed. In case of inclement weather the concert will be held on Dec. 3. The London Citadel Band got its start in 1883. By the early 1900s the band was in demand and performed in such cities as Windsor and Detroit. In the last 127 years the groups' horizons have broadened considerably and they have traveled to England twice as well as the west coast of Canada and parts of the USA. Bandmaster John Lam, a native of Owen Sound, joined the band in 1985. Ten years later he became Bandmaster and that year he brought the band to the town hall. Since then they have returned annually excepted for one year when they were "snowed out". Show time is 8 p.m. and tickets are selling for $10 per person.

In this section we will showcase an image with the hopes that one of our subscribers might be able to identify the individual(s) in the photo. Please email your information to the Editor's attention at the address listed near the bottom of the page in "Submissions" or you can email the archivist directly at bayarch ives@tcc. on. ca This week, the Bayfield Breeze Editor took the liberty of doing the research needed to identify the individual in the photograph taken at the Bayfield school in 1958. It is a picture of Merle Tingley ("TING"), who was editorial cartoonist for the London Free Press from 1948 to 1986. According to information posted on the website of the Western Libraries — Archives and Research Collections Centre he is regarded as the dean of Canadian Newspaper cartoonists and won national and international awards for his art. Ting's attention to detail and craftsmanship characterize his work. Over the years, his whimsical, down-to- earth humor attracted a loyal following among thousands of readers, not only in the Free Press but across Canada in more than 60 weeklies and dailies, which carried his syndicated material. Many immediately recognize his famous cartoon mascot, Luke Worm. A letter to the editor published in a September 2010 issue of the London Free Press states that the cartoonist is now a resident in a London Seniors' Home where he continues to practice his craft as he designs the front of the home's monthly list of activities. According to the letter writer, "He has received justifiably many accolades for his efforts." B,AYFIELD FINANCIAL G4,Oup I.W IO SHARE Mir®...

Janet Snider, representing the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce, encouraged the crowd to practice their "oowes" and "awes" prior to the lighting of the lights. Attendance at the tree lighting held on the evening of Nov. 12 shattered all previous unofficial records. The Christmas in Bayfield Weekend, Nov. 12- 14, may be history but it will live on in the hearts and minds of those who took part as one of the best, especially as far as attendance was concerned. Without benefit of an official head count at Friday's tree lighting ceremony one might guess that upwards of 400 people were present to see the lights come on. A large contingent of children from Holmesville Public School comprised the choir and band that entertained the crowd with holiday music. Janet Snider, representing the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce, welcomed all who attended and encouraged them to practice their "oowes" and "awes" for when the lights came on; which this year proved to be rather quickly at the stroke of 7 o'clock.

The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society sold hotdogs and hot drinks to the crowd while the Bayfield Girl Guides sold boxes of chocolaty mint cookies for dessert. The Bayfield Optimist Club was also present selling tickets on their toy chest packed to the brim with toys for boys and girls of all ages. Santa himself arrived in style — on a fire truck supplied by the Bayfield and Area Volunteer Fire Department.

Members of the Mocha Temple Roadrunners were having a grand old time driving in circles up Main Street during the parade. Here comes Santa Claus!! Members of the Mocha Bluewater Shrine Club gave a strong showing at the 2010 Bayfield Santa Claus Parade. Miniature horses took the large crowd in stride. Cameron Landesborough, 6 months, of Kitchener, experienced the sights and sounds of his first Santa Claus parade with his mom, Christine. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week471ssue72/tabid/476/Default.aspx 11/13 5/27/2019 Week 47 Issue 72 Melody Falconer -Pounder xwe�.l � k n h u rn n c h rpslars ®n 519-524-7195 xw� .e.-emix . Fuma.. xrs� SUBMISSIONS Diedre Gerritts, of Clinton, helped pass out candies along the parade route for My FM, a radio station from Exeter. Well, that was quite the weekend wasn't it? In my nearly 25 years of being a part of village life I don't think I've ever witnessed larger crowds on the second week of November. Kudos to all who organized both the tree lighting and the Santa Claus Parade, events such as these don't happen over night even though you all made it look so terribly effortless. Most importantly countless people of all ages had a lot of fun and many learned first hand what a terrific place Bayfield is to visit! And with just a little over 37 sleeps until Dec. 25 arrives — the preparations can now officially begin. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
