Santa's arrival caused quite the commotion with large numbers of children vying for a place on his lap and
parents and grandparents ready to take a picture of their big moment on the old gent's knee.
The gazebo in Clan Gregor was filled with musicians and singers from Holmesville Public School who came out
to entertain the people at the tree lighting ceremony.
Clara Gundy, of Toronto, seemed a little shy when it
came time to chat with the jolly old elf.
The Christmas in Bayfield Weekend, Nov. 11-
13, may very well have exceeded last year's
attendance which was noted for breaking
records. Without benefit of an official head
count at Friday's tree lighting ceremony one
might guess that well over 400 people were
present to see the lights come on.
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
then asked that the lights be turned on at the

a fundraiser for the Optimist Club of
Bayfield.
The club is holding a raffle on a hand painted
wooden doll cradle that can also double as a child's
stool. This will be the perfect bed for "Sandie" an 18"
Our Generation Doll who is sure to be the best -
dressed playmate a child could ever have. She
comes with nine hand knit outfits (including a Santa's
suit) and four beautifully sewn ensembles as well as
a number of accessories - even clothes hangers! Her
cradle will also be a cozy place to sleep with
handmade bedding. The combined creative efforts of
Jan Kuntz, Mike Dixon, Joan Schilbe and Reid
Kinnear have made this prize possible.
An amazing remote controlled Chevy SSR will be
raffled as second prize.
The raffle prizes will be unveiled at the Christmas in
Bayfield Tree Lighting Ceremony on Nov. 11. After
that date tickets will be available from Optimist
members and at the Bayfield Village Inn.
The Holiday Raffle tickets are $2 each or three for
$5. The draw will be made at Breakfast with Santa on
Dec. 11. This fun family event will be held at the
Bayfield Village Inn from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost is
12 years and up, $6; five to 11 years, $3; four and
under free.
SALVATION ARMY BAND
On Nov. 25 the Bayfield Town Hall will welcome back
the London Citadel Salvation Army Band for their
sixteenth 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.
2.
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 128
years the groups' horizons have broadened
considerably and they have traveled to England twice

The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society sold hotdogs
and hot drinks were supplied by Tim Hortons. The
Bayfield Girl Guides sold boxes of chocolaty mint
cookies for dessert. The Bayfield Optimist Club was
also present selling tickets on their Holiday Raffle of
extra special toys.
Santa himself arrived in style — on a fire truck
supplied by the Bayfield and Area Volunteer Fire
Department. He mingled with the crowd as a mass of
children waited in line to have their turn at bending
his ear a little.

QUILT RAISES HOPED FOR FUNDS
It was a fairy-tale ending to the St. Andrew's United Church Women's Christmas Holly Bazaar
on Saturday afternoon when as the bazaar was coming to a close a couple arrived with a
$1,000 in hand to purchase a quilt earmarked as a fundraiser for Goderich Tornado Relief.
The Sunshine Coast Quilters Guild, in conjunction with the Goderich Quilting Guild, were
displaying this gorgeous quilt and matching wall hanging at the bazaar held on Nov. 11-12, in
the hope that someone would like to purchase the set. They were donated to the Goderich
guild to help raise funds for Goderich Tornado Relief. It had been appraised for $2,800, was a
one of a kind collector's creation and originated in the Ottawa area.
The quilt set was generously purchased by Wanda and James Airsworth, of Mississauga, ON.
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
except for one year when they were "snowed out".
Show time is 8 p.m. and tickets are selling for $10
per person. For tickets call Charles Kalbfleisch at 519

Goderich Quilters Guild President Bev VanNinhuys (right) was no doubt pleased to sell this
quilt donated to the guild for Goderich Tornado Relief during the St. Andrew's United
Church Women's Holly Bazaar held this past weekend. The quilt was generously
purchased for $1,000 by Wanda (right) and James Airsworth of Mississauga. (Submitted
photo)
"it was a great way to end the bazaar," said Kathleen Siertsema, of The Sunshine Coast
Quilter's Guild and St. Andrew's UCW. "On Friday this couple came in with two friends and
were standing looking at the quilt and I went over to them and proceeded to explain about it
and they seemed especially interested because the money was going to the Goderich Tornado
Relief Fund. They were going to Goderich on Saturday to take a donation from their parents'
estate to help restore the steeple on the Baptist church in Goderich that was damaged in the
tornado. Their parents had once lived in Goderich for about 15 years. They said they would
think about it and would be back on Saturday if they wanted it."
Siertsema went on to say that she had all but forgotten about their encounter when about 2:45
p.m. on Saturday they came back in with the money for the quilt.
"There was great excitement and the quilt went to a wonderful couple. Everyone was happy,
the couple got the quilt and a tax receipt for $1,000 and the disaster fund will get $3,000 when
it is matched by the government...so it was a great day," concluded Siertsema.

GODERICH THIS WEEKEND
The annual wreath fundraiser for the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) is now underway. To

Santa Claus, waving and chatting to the crowds,
made his second appearance in the village from the
top of a fire truck.
There wasn't a cloud in the sky when Santa Claus
made his way down Bayfield's Main Street on the
morning of Nov. 12. He was naturally the most
anticipated participant in the parade that boasted
nearly 60 entries.

Jack Bender, of the Bayfield Fire Department, drove one of the village's trucks at the start of the parade
sounding the siren to the delight of the youngsters in the crowd.
Members of the Bayfield and Area Volunteer Fire Department held a Food Drive during the parade. Firefighters
Ian Siertsema (left) and Wade Berard pushed grocery carts along the parade route handing out candy canes.
People dropped their non-perishable donations in as they passed by. Following the parade, the firefighters
continued their drive at the Bayfield Foodland.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to guesstimate that
well over 1,000 people were on hand to watch the
40 -minute spectacle that included two bands, float
entries from far and near, a large collection of
Shriners, horses, vintage cars and lots of smiling
folks handing out candy.
Carol Thornley -Hall emerged as
the Spirit of Christmas from the
roof of a 1969 Citroen Dyane 6
owned and driven by Peter
Westwood of Bayfield. The entry
represented the Bayfield Historical
Society.
The theme of this year's parade
was "A White Christmas". It was
very well depicted on the entry
created by the Bayfield Mews.
Members of the Mocha Bluewater
Shrine Club gave a strong showing
at the 2011 Bayfield Santa Claus
Parade.

Members of The Photography Club of Bayfield were given the assignment "Christmas in Bayfield" for their December

images that four members captured during the 2011 Bayfield Santa Claus Parade and were kind enough to share.

I completed one of my favorite holiday traditions last night — packing shoe boxes. This year I was able to go shopping for
Operation Christmas Child with the members of Bayfield Guiding twice, last week with our veteran shoe box stuffers, the
Pathfinders and Rangers, and then most recently I returned to the store with the Sparks, Brownies and Guides.
The older girls are more methodical; they take their time seeking out the perfect items to brighten a child's Christmas in a
country far away. The younger ones use a slightly different strategy simply thinking about what they would like to find in a box -
their shopping is finished in no time.
The evening always ends with snack at a nearby fast food restaurant, a little refueling after all that shopping.
I'm not sure how many boxes we have filled since we started participating in this annual project early in the last decade,
however, I know the smiles I see on the faces of my Guiding girls as they give these gifts echo the faces of the children in the
third world who receive them and that is after all the motto of the project "share the power of a simple gift — pack a shoe box'.
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
Please email me at bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call 519-565-2443.
Hope to see you online soon at www.villageofbayfield.com
