People were sampling or eating racks of ribs right up to 9 p.m. although the vendors were sold out at 8:30 p.m. The streets were clogged around the arena as people came for the ribs and music," said Doug Yeo, president of the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) in his reflections on the Ribs and Music Fest that opened the Bayfield Community Fair on Aug. 15. He noted that the BAS members have tried to modernize the fair with the Friday night Ribs and Music Fest and feels that the event has been accepted by the community judging from the number of people that turned out for it. Bon Vivant Personal Chef, Devon Tabor and Brian Garnet, of Let the Flames Begin, supplied people with mouth watering and finger licking ribs. A fun cook -off competition was also part of the Fest.

Participants and spectators alike got a bit damp as the parade made its way along Main and John Streets on its way to Agriculture Park home of the 158th Bayfield Community Fair. "Riding in a jeep that was a convertible in the rain along a parade route was a new experience," said Doug Yeo, president of the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS). "Many children verbally wondered why we were riding without the tops up." The Parade Marshall this year was Dr. Charles Wallace. The Municipality of Bluewater and the Bayfield Lions' Club were the parade sponsors. The Shriner's presence always adds flair to the festivities and their spirits were not dampened by the weather with representation from the Mocha Motor Corps, Bluewater Shrine Club Fire Brigade, Mocha Temple Road Runners, and the Mocha Jeepsters Unit. Four bands performed for the crowds as they walked along the route nicely spaced between vintage vehicles and tractors, campground and business floats. The Stratford Police Band, Clinton Legion Pipe Band, the Seaforth and District All Girls Marching Band and the Commissioner's Own Pipes and Drums Corps kept many a foot a tapping as they marched by. One of the highlights of the parade turned out to be at its very end. "A memorable moment was being in the arena and in the distance the sound of the pipes and drums could be heard. The sound increased quickly and everyone noticed the OPP Pipes and Drums band came right into the arena. They turned down the first aisle, maneuvered without slowing through the two centre aisles and majestically marched the final aisle while many observers finally realized what was happening and took their pictures.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER - POUNDER Comments by district representatives of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) made during the opening ceremonies at the Bayfield Community Fair on Aug. 15 would indicate that the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) is doing something right. Where other fairs in the province are seeing a gradual decline in the number of exhibits entered for competition Bayfield's fair has seen an increase. "The initial highlight of this year's fair was learning that there were 160 more entries this year than last year," said Doug Yeo, BAS president. "That total was strong thanks to regular exhibitors like Helen Turner at 98 years of age who entered nine exhibits." Support from 4-H Groups and Huron County Junior Farmers also helps keep both agriculture and youth in the forefront at the Bayfield Community Fair. "While wandering the fairgrounds early, I met two young lads leading their sheep preparing for the 4- H Sheep Show. I asked if I could get a picture of them with their sheep and you could see their pride that someone also cared as much as they did about their sheep," said Yeo. The weather at the 158th fair cooperated two out of three days. Unfortunately on what is traditionally the busiest day of the fair there was a steady drizzle but this didn't keep people from having some fun. "All entertainment was brought into the arena and crowds gathered near each performer. Craig Douglas, our juggler, had every age group fully entranced by his performance. Young children almost took the limelight away as they sat on his equipment to have a closer seat to the action. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek34issue268/tabid/682/Default.aspx 13/18 5/31/2019 rk �h Week 34 Issue 268 [ i,ti .I 1 .

Molly Dawe stole the limelight away from Craig Douglas during his performance on Saturday afternoon but it was his own fault - he asked for volunteers! For his grand finale, Craig Douglas juggled a large knife, a bowling ball and an apple. He enjoyed snacking on the apple as part of his comedic routine. Juggling and cutting an apple in the process was amazing," said Yeo. He added that, about 80 people watched a fire act performance at the front of the arena Saturday evening. "As the performer had fire dancing all around him, cars slowed and stopped to see what was happening. It was a great way to conclude a day at the fair," he said. Yeo was also impressed to see the tent filled for the interdenominational church service on the morning of Aug. 17. The sun shone as about 185 people attended the service with five local churches participating: St. Andrew's United, Knox Presbyterian, Trinity Anglican, St. James', Middleton, and The Church on the Way. "The message of the influence of helping even one person through the Canada Food Grains program was powerful. "Finally the number of people who said they loved the fair will outweigh the influence of rain. We gained over the three days several people who want to be part of the fair organization. After we closely examine the questionnaires that were filled in during the fair and examine the success of each element of the fair, we can approach "Blue Jeans and Machines" in 2015 with confidence," concluded Yeo. dL40W0 a Organizers were delighted to learn that exhibit entry numbers were up by 160 over last year's fair.
