CHRISTMAS BEGINS IN BAYFIELD
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas on Bayfield's Main Street. Last week, Jentje Steenbeek, of Stonefield
Garden Centre and Market, delivered a number of Christmas trees to Main Street in preparation for the
upcoming Christmas in Bayfield weekend. The trees will be decorated by merchants for the festive season.

CPH AUXILIARY
For many Bayfield residents Clinton Public Hospital
(CPH) is their choice for healthcare and therefore an
annual event organized by the Auxiliary to the CPH
should be of interest.
People are encouraged to give the "Gift of Light" this
upcoming holiday season. They can purchase a light
for the CPH Gift of Light Tree as a present or in
memory of someone special. Tickets for a light are
available now for $5 each and are available from
CPH Auxiliary members, at the CPH Gift Shop, CPH
Admitting or from Shirley Carter at 519 482-7776.
The money raised is used to purchase needed
hospital equipment.
The Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held at the
entrance to the hospital on Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m.
Entertainment, refreshments and draws follow the
lighting of the lights.
SALVATION ARMY BAND
On Nov. 30 the Bayfield Town Hall will welcome back
the London Citadel Salvation Army Band for their
seventeenth 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.
7.
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 129
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
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 519 565-2244
or Patricia McDougall at 519 565-2894 or online at
ticketscene.ca
Coincidentally, the Salvation Army began in Canada
in 1882, the same year that the Bayfield Town Hall
was built. All proceeds from the concert will go to The
Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society for the
maintenance of the hall.

on the second floor. The town hall also contained a municipal
office and council chamber until Dec. 31, 2001 when the village
amalgamated with neighboring communities.
In 1913, Mr. McEwan willed the land to the village to build a Town
Hall and the following year G.C. Petty submitted to council a
petition signed by 84 ratepayers asking that a Town Hall be built
at an approximate cost of $5,000. The council, and Reeve
Thomas Hudson voted in favor of the petition and tenders were
called. Two bids were submitted. Welsh and Soldan were chosen
for $6,998. H. Reynolds was hired as architect. The plans called
for a building 40 feet by 70 feet with a seating capacity of 450.
The Town Hall became the village activity centre drawing crowds
from miles away to the dances. Many concerts were held
including minstrel shows. The acoustics in the hall were excellent.
This made it an ideal place for live performances. After many
successful years of activity, which included the "Victory Dance" at
the end of the Second World War, use of the auditorium was
reduced.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY

More than 525 people stepped over the
thresholds of five beautiful and distinctive homes
on the weekend of Nov. 3-4 as part of the Bayfield
Optimist's Homes for the Holiday tour.

Homeowners Lawrence Charleton and Deb Penhale were delighted with the work that Shannon Ryan (right), of
The Garden Gate of Grand Bend did to decorate their home for the tour.
The home built by Deb Penhale and Lawrence Charlton features a bonus room designed as sleeping quarters for
their grandchildren. A "Charlie Brown" style tree filled with elves was crafted for the space by The Garden Gate,
of Grand Bend.
What could be more perfect in a room
designed for grandchildren than a tree filled
with mischievous elves?
"This was our fourth show and although all of
them have been wonderful this was definitely our
busiest," said Dale Brandon, club president. "We
had 500 tickets printed and these were all but
gone Saturday night so we had to do an
impromptu printing to have a few available for
Sunday walk-ins."
Over a dozen businesses took part by providing
decor and design expertise and their work really
sparked some Christmas magic. The businesses
were: Homescapes by Lynn, and Luann's Flowers
and Gifts, both of Goderich; Blooms N' Rooms,
Seaforth; Cabin in the Woods Design, Mainstreet
Gallery, Cyndi's Garden, The Bayfield General
Store, Den's Country Corner, Inspirations and
Huron, Hearth and Home, all of Bayfield; The
Garden Gate, Grand Bend; Huron Ridge Acres,
Zurich; and Tasty Treats and Treasures, Clinton.
The event is a fundraiser for the Bayfield Optimist
Club but it truly is a project supported by many in
the community. Countless volunteers took time
out of their weekend to provide security in the
homes as well as help serve the lunch at the
Bayfield Village Inn. For their support the club
members are truly grateful.
The club is also indebted to their generous
homeowners who opened their doors and
welcomed everyone in. The organizers would like
to thank Fred and Shirley Schilbe, Tom and Deb
Grasby, Nancy Arthur-Ische and Al Ische, Adam
Durand, Deb Penhale and Lawrence Charlton for
their patience and enthusiasm for the project from
start to finish.

An elegant dinner party awaits in the home owned by Deb Penhale and Lawrence Charlton.
The sunroom of the home owned by Deb Penhale and Lawrence Charlton is another inviting space. As if by
happenstance the window that lends light to the living room came from a home that endured the F3 tornado
that struck Goderich in 2011. The couple broke ground on their house the day the tornado hit.
A tree festooned with Christmas
splendor, as well as some comfort and
joy, in the living room of Deb Penhale
and Lawrence Chariton's home. It is
another creation from The Garden Gate
of Grand Bend.
"Tom and I would like to express our appreciation
for the great work done over the weekend of the
Homes for the Holiday tour," said Deb Grasby.
"Volunteers were helpful, energetic and
organized. It is in no small part due to their efforts
that the hundreds of people who toured the five
homes had such a positive experience. It was our
pleasure to participate and share our home.
Congratulations on your success and we are
happy to know the Splash Pad is that much closer
to becoming a reality for Bayfield!"
The Optimist Club held their first home tour in
2006 and anticipate their next to be the first
weekend in November 2014. The proceeds of this
year's show will go toward the "Making a Splash"
Campaign as the club is in the process of raising
$150,000 to create a Splash Pad in Clan Gregor
Square by July 2013. Visit

"The Oriole" at the Bayfield Meadows was set for a holiday cocktail party due to the efforts of Homescapes by
Lynn, of Goderich.
Decor items from Inspirations and Den's Country Corner, of Bayfield, added lots of sparkle on the fireplace
mantle in Fairlawn's livingroom.
Deb Grasby invited Shannon Ryan, of The Garden Gate
in Grand Bend, to work her magic on a Christmas tree
in the living room at the lighthouse.
Charm and sophistication in a rustic setting is
what folks discovered in the home owned by
Tom and Deb Grasby.

Helen VareKamp, of Bayfield's Huron Hearth and Home, created an intimate setting for two in the entry room of
Fairlawn, owned by Nancy Arthur-Ische and Al Ische.
The Grasby home is modeled after the Strawberry Island Lighthouse in Georgian Bay. Homeowner, Deb Grasby,
of Cabin in the Woods Design, invited Main Street Gallery to showcase their art throughout the home during the
show. Artist, Jim Taleski's vision of the home itself graced the livingroom wall.
The General Store, of Bayfield,
provided a touch of whimsy in the
downstairs family room at the
Schilbe house. Yes, this is a
Christmas stocking!
Huron Ridge Acres, of Zurich, and Inspirations and
Den's Country Corner, of Bayfield, provided
poinsettias and decor items to enhance the fireplace
in the Schilbe home. The fireplace was made from
stones gathered on the family farm.
Guests will delight in having their own
themed tree in their room just like this one
found in the lighthouse. The seaside themed

Last week I shared memories of Halloween and was looking forward to going to the big city to enjoy the festival with my
little grandson and his parents. Well, we had a great time. The hustle and bustle on the street was truly something to
behold. Ninety-three youngsters came to the door announcing "Trick or Treat" each time we opened it and wishing us a
Happy Halloween" as they departed with their candy.
My nearly 17 month-old grandson, Graham, would trundle down the hall to have a look at the strange and colorful
characters that had come calling and he too got an equally delightful reaction to the hamburger costume he sported.
Once he would reach the door he would wave and say, "Bye" then ceremoniously close the door. He repeated this
process over and over until there came a lull in the action when he promptly went up to the entrance and began chanting

"dor — dor" looking out the lower window for more children. He thought the whole thing huge fun and I'm sure he was
wondering why we had never done this before.
Hopefully we've now established a new Halloween tradition and we'll be able to visit again next year — and if we had 93
visitors on a cold, rainy night how many could we have on a pleasant All Hallows Eve? - Melody
