Golf Course, Black's Point Beach, Ball's Bridge, Clinton Raceway, Auburn Park and Mayor Jim Ginn's Family Farm. Teams faced riddles and challenges including eating cow tongue, hiking the new trail, husking corn, learning how to cheerlead, building sand castles, challenging obstacle courses, pushing around bails, among many other challenging feats. The teams were challenged to obtain as many points as possible throughout the weekend through fundraising and challenge completion. The teams were also encouraged to be as creative as possible for extra points. According to organizers the teams were outstanding. Participants came out as such characters as pirates, housewives and hillbillies, many decorated their vehicles, some even had sound effects. The United Housewives of Huron/Perth County won the four -person team division and GarKat won the two person team division.

And it was very nice that the roadwork in the village proper was purposely delayed until after Labour Day so as not to interfere with the high tourist season in the village. Otherwise, the kids at the Splash Pad would have gotten quite muddy as the water mingled with the road dust in the air. Soon the construction will be a thing of the past and we will be left with smooth roads, lovely new curbs and a couple of much needed turning lanes, and perhaps, for a while at least we won't take them for granted. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
