Rob McAuley, along with Kaithlynne and Keira Couacha, had an absolute hoot navigating a golf cart through an
obstacle course as part of the Friday night fun at the Bayfield Fall Fair.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
The members of the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) just celebrated their 156th Bayfield Fall
Fair. Its longevity can be attributed to the constant addition of new events. This year, an
obstacle course held on the Friday night proved to be a hilarious highlight.
Contestants were invited to take on the
obstacle course, a series of stakes, pylons,
barrels and ropes shaped in a kind of
horseshoe pattern, in a golf cart. Doesn't sound
to difficult does it? Wait, read the fine print. The
driver was to be blindfolded — the passenger to
act as navigator.
Passengers soon learned that pointing, while
shouting, "This way!" wasn't the best way to
give directions. Teams had different strategies,
some took it easy on the course avoiding the
obstacles while others stomped on the gas and
took down, well, almost everything in their way.
Brothers-in-law Darren Keys (left) and Jason Wise
only knocked over one obstacle as they breezed
through the course.
Those who took on the obstacle course got a free t -
shirt from the RCMP Musical Ride courtesy the
Bayfield Agricultural Society. Elizabeth Davidson and
Laura Cannon (left), both of Stratford, wore their
shirts while out the course.
As dusk settles over Pioneer Park, families are
encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to
cuddle up and watch one last movie under the stars
for the summer of 2012. "Cheaper by the Dozen 2"
will be shown Aug. 25. This film was originally
scheduled for Aug. 11 but was postponed due to
inclement weather.
Prior to the movie, at 7:15 p.m., the Pioneer Park
Association will host a concert in the park. The
internationally awarded a cappella quartet, Spritzer,
will perform. The group is a member of Sweet
Adelines International and will no doubt delight those
who gather to hear their harmonizing.
Since forming in November 2008, Karen, Susann,
Sharon, and Hannah have achieved many awards
within their designated region and at international
competitions. In October, the ladies will be heading to
Denver to compete at the 2012 Sweet Adelines
International Competition. To learn more about the
quartet go to www.spritzersings.com.
The Municipality of Bluewater would like to invite all
in the community to help them celebrate their duo
Blue Flag designation by attending a Blue Flag
Sunset Reading in the park that same evening at 8
p.m. The reading will also help highlight one of the
Blue Flag status mandates to celebrate and support
encouragement of sustainable tourism and
environmental awareness. This reading is being held
with the support of the Pioneer Park Association.
MUSIC AT THE BARN
Sunday marks the next in the series of shows in the
"Music at the Barn" Concert Series.
Graham Nicholas, Alanna Gurr and Lowlands are
scheduled for Aug. 26; Josh Geddis and Jenny
Omnichord will bring the summer series to an end on
Sept. 16.
Tickets are $14 in advance and $16 at the door.
People are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and
blankets, as there is limited seating.

(BHS). "It measures 24 in. by 33 in. and shows the

yet another portion of the course.
"YESTERDAY'S BAYFIELD” TO BE
STAGED SUNDAY IN THE SQUARE
Philip Keightley
Anyone who passes by Clan Gregor Square
on the afternoon of Aug. 26 may think they
have traveled into another era. Temperance
Ladies will be causing a stir, all the while
pioneer children will be playing period games
and pie ladies will sell their apple filled
pastries.
A brand new version of "Yesterday's
Bayfield", a guided heritage stroll through
time will be held in the park starting promptly
at 2 p.m. with a cast of local "actors".
Tickets are available now from Dave Gillians
by calling 519 565-5884. They are also
available at the Bayfield Archives room on
Main Street. Only 160 tickets will be sold at
$10 each for this entertaining Bayfield
Historical Society (BHS) production. All
proceeds for the event will be used to protect
and display Bayfield's most precious
historical documents.
Historical Bayfield characters will be stationed at various spots in the park where they will tell
their stories, or at least defend their actions. This arrangement will minimize walking and
ensure that there will be shade for the actors and the audience. Judy Keightley is the creator
and director of this entirely new production. She was instrumental in establishing the Petrolia
Little Theatre and has successfully staged this type of Street Theatre event before.
Keightley said, "It's important that everyone enjoys "Yesterday's Bayfield" and in addition to
good entertainment, ticket holders will be surprised and fascinated by what they learn about
these historical characters and this village."
Timing is tight and the eight tour guides will be making certain their groups of 20 don't interfere
with other groups and that audience members can hear and see each performance. Ticket
holders should be at Clan Gregor Square and prepared to start at 2 p.m. The walk should take
about an hour.
According the BHS, the Honorable Malcolm
Cameron had the map commissioned. He had
purchased all the outstanding unsold lots from Baron
Van Tuyll in 1854 and did a new survey after
reducing the lot sizes from Van Tuyll's plan.
"For residents and cottagers looking for a record of
the ownership of their properties, the lot numbers
that are on this map are those registered in Ontario
Registry Office records," said Rowat.
The copies are selling for $50 each. This covers the
cost of scanning, some minor touch-up, and printing.
A smaller version of the map measuring 12 in. by 18
in. will also be available shortly. Orders for this
smaller version can be taken by using the contact
info below.
The Bayfield Archives on Main Street is open
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from 1-4 p.m.
Please contact Archivist Ralph Laviolette at 519 440-
6206 or email him at bayarchives@tcc.on.ca.
OPTLVIIST CLUB
Celebrate the Labour Day Weekend, we refuse to
say the end of summer, with the Bayfield Optimist
Club as they present, "Open Mic" in Clan Gregor
Square on Sept. 2.
Musical performances, crafts for the kids and a
barbecue will be offered from noon to 4 p.m. in the
shade of the park. Donations will be gratefully
accepted to help cover the cost of this family friendly
event as well as future Optimist projects.
For more information call Optimist Tara Hessel at 519
524-0310 or to sign up a musical act please contact
Jeff Graham at 519 955-6144.
CPH AUXILIARY
For many Bayfield residents Clinton Public Hospital
(CPH) is their choice for healthcare and therefore the
work of the Auxiliary to the CPH should be of
interest.
The Auxiliary to the CPH will reconvene on Sept. 4th,
at 9:30 a.m. at the new Clinton Fire Hall on Hwy. 4.
Members are asked to note the change of day and
location when organizing their calendars.
TASTE OF HURON
Bayfield's own, Outside Projects, will be hosting an
exhilarating Taste of Huron event on Sept. 2.
Local residents comprise the cast who are busy memorizing their lines and practicing their The Food Cycle Tour will depart from the Goderich
presentations. As they are representing important characters in the village's history, the cast is Public Library, on Montreal Street early in the

Included in the cast are Dawn
Cumming, Claire Soper, Carol
Thornley -Hall, Bronwyn Bechard
and Maureen Saunders. These five
women will comprise the
Temperance Ladies. For decades,
Bayfield was "dry" and these ladies
will be threatening to create a
disturbance by demanding to bring
back the "good old days" when
alcohol was banned in the village.
Also featured will be:
Judith Gooding as Margaret
Rhynas, who was part of a
prominent local fishing family and
who was honored by a United
States president.
Week 35 Issue 164
Judith Gooding
Philip Keightley will portray Dr. Ninian M.Woods, the pioneer physician and politician who
fought for both a railway line and harbor and almost bankrupted the township.
BHS President Bill Rowat said, "This year's version of "Yesterday's Bayfield" should be one of
our best heritage presentations yet. We are staging it in Clan Gregor Square to ensure shade
and shorter walking distances between character performances."
TERRY FOX'S DREAM LIVES ON
THROUGH ANNUAL RUN
Terry Fox famously said about his Marathon of Hope that, "Even if I don't finish, we need others
to continue. It's got to keep going on without me".
In the spirit of carrying on Fox's journey, the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) is
sponsoring a Terry Fox Run on Sept. 16.
Terry Fox Runs will be underway on the same day all over Canada, all raising money to help
fund cancer research. To date, these yearly runs have accumulated over $600 million for
cancer research.
Participants are asked to raise money through pledges, and all the proceeds go to the Terry
Fox Foundation whose aim is to raise money for cancer research and, hopefully, find a cure.
The Foundation is responsible for supporting close to $20 million in research each year in
Canada.
The Terry Fox run not only raises money but also serves to commemorate Fox, the young
Canadian man who ran the original Marathon of Hope in 1980. Fox was diagnosed with
Osteogenic Sarcoma and had his leg amputated in 1977, three years before he would run over
5,000 KMs from St. John's, NL to Thunder Bay, ON. Because of this effort, the goal of the Terry
Fox Foundation and the Terry Fox Run is not only to raise money, but to continue to spread the
story of his life, achievements and goals.
The local Terry Fox Run will be held starting in Clan Gregor Square. Registration opens at 8:30
a.m. and the run itself starts at 9 a.m. There will be a 2 KM, 5 km, and 10 KM route for
participants to choose. Participants are asked to bring their pledge forms, which they can pick
up at Outside Projects, and in various other locations around Bayfield, to the registration booth
on the day of the event. There is no minimum donation, and every dollar helps. Anyone with
questions should call 519 440-8585.
PRINCIPALS OF VISUAL DESIGN
SUBJECT OF UPCOMING LECTURE
After rejuvenating with good food and conversation at
the farm, participants will cycle over to Benmiller.
They will stop at the Benmiller Inn for light
refreshments before returning to Goderich to
complete the cycling tour of Huron County's
countryside and coastline.
The Food Cycle Tour will depart from the Goderich
library at 8:25 a.m. and return at 3:30 p.m. The cost
is $50 per person (including lunch and refreshments)
or $70 (with bike rental). Call Outside Projects for
reservations at 519 565-4034 or email
outsideprojects@tcc.on.ca. The deadline for
reservations is noon on Aug. 31.

This week the Bayfield Breeze explores the ways the chamber aids locally in directing the
many tourists who come to the village.
The Tourist Booth located at the corner of Hwy. 21 and Mill Road is open most days through
the summer and into the fall. Although perhaps of less importance in the internet-age, this self -
serve booth is actively used in the summer. Anyone with brochures or promotional information
is encouraged to drop them off at the booth.
The BACC continues to pay for directional signage both northbound and southbound on Hwy.
21. Roger Lewington, president of the BACC reports that some members have asked about
additional signage, however, this is all that is allowed by the Tourism -Oriented Directional
Signing Program (TODS). The program is offered through the Ministries of Tourism and
Transportation and controls highway signage for the province. However, the BACC has
purchased additional signage on county roads under the Ontario's West Coast Signage
Program. Signs are now located on Mill Road and Bayfield Road.
For those people looking to exercise their minds,

ENTRANCE TO AGRICULTURE PARK
REDEDICATED AFTER 56 YEARS
To mark the 100th anniversary of the Bayfield Fall Fair in 1956, the Ontario Department of
Agriculture presented the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) with two stone pillars. These were
erected at the entrance to Agriculture Park.

BAYFIELD FINANUAL
BAWMUE) FALL FAIR 2012 PART I
HINT OF AUTUNIN IN THE AIR AS PARADE TAKES TO STREET
STORY AND PHOTOS BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
Suddenly this weekend there was a hint of
autumn in the air – perfect timing as the Bayfield
Fall Fair Parade was held on the morning of Aug.
18. The parade made its way along Main and
John Streets at the stroke of 11 o'clock and at its
end folks were encouraged to follow along to
Agriculture Park for the 156th Bayfield Fall Fair.
The Parade Marshalls this year were Keith Fryer
and Ted Vander Wouden. Both men are Honorary
Members of the Bayfield Agricultural Society and
have worked for many years to ensure the fair
always remains a crowd pleaser. The Municipality
of Bluewater and the Bayfield Lions Club were the
parade sponsors.

Remax Bluewater Realty had a float in the parade that featured three square dancing young ladies. From I -r: Jill
Dennomme, Marlese Coombs and Blayne Dennomme swing about.
Better Mustangs, of Bayfield, had several fellow Mustang fans join in the parade, creating a line of cars that
almost stretched clear up Main Street.
Cars and candy were standout elements in this
year's parade. Better Mustangs, of Bayfield, had a
contingent of vintage Mustangs out for the parade
— so many in fact, people tended to lose count.
Plus the Mocha Jeepsters Unit had several
gleaming, bright red convertibles on hand. And
children went away with bulging pockets as so
many entries handed out candy to those gathered
to watch the spectacle.
Two bands performed for the crowds as they
walked along the route nicely spaced between
vintage vehicles and tractors, campground floats
and youngsters on decorated bicycles. The
Stratford Police Band and the Clinton Legion Pipe
Band kept many a foot a tapping as they marched
by.
The Shriner's presence always adds flair to the
festivities and they did not disappoint with
representation from the Mocha Motor Corps,
Bluewater Shrine Club Fire Brigade, Mocha
Temple Road Runners, and the aforementioned
Mocha Jeepsters Unit.
And of course it wouldn't' be a Bayfield Fall Fair
parade with out riders on horseback. This year a
crew of two was left at the "Tail End" to clean up
after the horses — adding a bit of small town
humor to the parade for visitors.
Editor's Note: Remember Me will return next
issue.
The Bayfield Optimist Club were
represented by children of all ages in
the parade. The youth were busy
enthusiastically handing out candy,
riding bikes and tooting horns!

The Egerton Beach community had a lot of fun with their entry but were they cowboys or pirates? Perhaps their
sign said it best, " We're the New Cowboys in Town and We Arrrrnt Horsin' Around."
This gentleman drove an Oliver 70 Row Crop tractor in the parade.
The Bayfield Fall Fair Parade wouldn't be the same without representation from the Bluewater Shrine Club.

Two year-old Jackson Hivert, of Waterloo, was introduced to his first calf on Sunday afternoon at the fair.
"Tucker" was a member of the Old MacDonald's Farm petting zoo - a hit with folks of all ages.
Friday night, Outside Projects on Main Street, brought participants from their recent Extreme Art and Adventure
Camp to the fairgrounds for a skateboard and stunt bike demonstration. Odin Hessel (left) and Max Dupuis
showed the crowd a trick or two.
perfect fair!
The weather certainly cooperated offering three
days, from Aug. 17-19, of sunshine and warm
temperatures minus the humidity.
The Bayfield Fall Fair wasn't all about "horse play"
as this year's theme might indicate. There were
several educational aspects provided too.
People were given the opportunity to learn about
the art of Falconry as well as why training a
chicken can help develop management skills.
Folks who had never been close to a cow or a
sheep before could do so during the competitions
put on by the 4H Clubs. They could also snuggle
up with a bunny or pet a miniature horse at the
Old MacDonald's Farm Petting Zoo.
A small community can't put on an agricultural fair
for 156 years without some extraordinary,
longtime volunteers and participants. President of
the Bayfield Agricultural Society, Doug Yeo
recognized two such individuals on the weekend.

from Bayfield Agricultural Society President, Doug
Yeo, on Sunday afternoon. Turner, who is in her
mid-90s, has been exhibiting flowers at the fair for
50 years. (Photo by Jack Pal)
"I presented two ribbons this year for longtime
service or participation to the Bayfield Fair. Friday
afternoon a ribbon and certificate was presented
to John Gardner for longtime judging at the fair.
He has judged vegetables, fruit and field crops for
36 years," said Yeo. "In his response, John said
the Bayfield Fair was the first fair that he judged
when he worked for the Ministry of Agriculture. He
used it as the standard for all fairs."
Gardner also noted that he always enjoyed the
quality of the entries and energy of the fair.
Yeo also presented Helen Turner, who is in her
mid-90s, with a ribbon and certificate for longtime
exhibiting at the fair. She has brought entries for
over 50 years. In more recent years, she has
received some assistance in getting her entries to
the fair but still brings exquisite arrangements.
She was also recognized for her prize-winning
vegetables in past years.
"When shown the ribbon, Helen responded with
the observation that maybe that was a signal to
bring to an end her years of exhibiting," said Yeo.
"She was then given a gift certificate to buy seeds
at a seed company with the expressed purpose

The South -Central Huron Dairy 4H Achievement Day was held on Saturday at the fair. Members of the Central
Huron Dairy Club took the highest honors, including, Allana Beuermann, of Dublin, who earned the title,
"Reserve Champion Showmanship" and Tyler Westbrook, of Goderich, who took "Champion Showmanship".
Carol Stephenson, of Varna, and her grandson, Chase Stephenson, enjoyed the view from the ferris wheel on
Saturday afternoon.
Phoebe (left) and Violet King, visiting from Michigan, seemed to enjoy whirling about on this midway ride on
and suggestion to get her materials for next year's
exhibits."
Yeo commented that Turner's family and fellow
exhibitors are so very proud of her enthusiasm
and top-notch work.
Hayden Hessel, of Bayfield, bravely steps up.
Saturday afternoon the wee ones took centre stage at
the Baby Show. Charlie Stover, nine months, earned the
title, "Cutest Eyes". His mom, Emma Nolan, of Bayfield,
completely agreed with the judges' decision.

Karen Wiley (right), of Pawsitive Effects Training Solutions, and Regan Middegaam, put "Izzy" through his paces
during the Chicken Training Demonstration on Saturday afternoon. A generous crowd gathered to discover why
training a chicken can improve teaching and management skills of human students or employees as well as the
training of any other species.
Nikki Youngbult, of Ladyhawk Falconry, of London, ON, brought two Harris Hawks to the fair for two
presentations on Saturday afternoon. The crowds gathered were very interested in learning about Odin
(pictured) and Echo.
Katie Warren, nine months, was presented with
the "cutest smile" award during the seven to 12
month portion of the Baby Show. Some folks
might say she got that smile from her mom,
Karla. The duo were visiting from Oakville, ON.
4H events are a big part of Saturday at the fair. The
South -Central Huron Dairy 4H Achievement Day and
the Huron County 4H Sheep Club Competition
collided when the champions from both clubs were
invited to share their knowledge for showing their
preferred livestock. Here, Tyler Westbrook (right),
of the Central Huron Dairy Club, imparted pertinent
information to Graham Finlay of the Lucknow Sheep
Club.

SUBMISSIONS
On Sunday morning I overheard someone explain, "Goderich had a tornado, when?" It was kind of unfathomable that there
was an individual visiting Bayfield that hadn't heard about it. But to be fair it has remained at the forefront of our local universe
for the last 366 days.
Earlier in the summer I encountered tourists from Europe that weren't all that impressed with Goderich. I found myself
defending my old hometown, explaining that an F3 Tornado had ripped through its heart uprooting much of the tree landscape
and destroying homes and businesses. They still didn't seem to grasp how far they've come in such a short period of time.
But I do. I'm so proud of our neighbors. Take a walk around The Square and concentrate on the businesses — many are putting
their best face forward with refaced brick and fresh coats of paint. The new builds going on are taking heritage into
consideration and blending into the fabric like they've always been there.
The Courthouse Park still makes me tear up when I look at it but I know that in time it will begin to look like the welcoming park of old and maybe even
better too!
So much has been accomplished but there is still so much more that can be done. One of the places devastated by the tornado that few people may be
aware of is the area behind the Maitland Cemetery — there used to be a beautiful walking trail there — well the trail is now quite visible as the tornado
literally ripped a swath along it. No more trees just devastation. TD Friends of the Environment, along with the local community, are planning a tree -
planting event there on the afternoon of Sept. 23. They have a goal of planting 900 trees. Members and families of Bayfield Guiding will be there and so
can you. Just visit www.tdtreedays.com/en-ca/sites/39-Maitland_Cemetary and register! It should prove to be a positive way to mark the anniversary of the
F3 Tornado that struck on Aug. 21, 2011. - Melody
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
