(Photos by Lorne B. Gold) congratulate each other after successfully placing the new Main Street Sailor in a familiar spot along the street on Aug. 14. The newly carved Main Street Sailor has spent the spring and a lot of the summer curing at DL Creations on Hwy. 21 but on Aug. 14 he was returned to grace the space in front of Elephant Juice for the next stage of setup. David Loerchner, of DL Creations as well as Doug Vanderhaar and Dave Brodie worked together to place him back on Main Street. According to Ralph Laviolette, village archivist, "He will have his ship's wheel returned and connected to his outstretched hands in the next few days. "The carver will then complete patching of all shrinkage cracks, do a final cleanup, and then the painter will return him to his original colors. He is a little slimmer than before — the trunk he was carved from was smaller and he shrunk quite a bit during curing. "We plan to have a 'grand unveiling and re -naming' when he is done in the next few weeks." So there is still time for people to suggest a new name for the sailor by making a tax-deductible donation of $20 towards his reconstruction. Donations may be left at the Bayfield Archives, 20 Bayfield Main St. North, on Wednesdays to Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. SUNSET ON SUMMER FAST Tickets can be purchased by emailing info@bayfieldtrails.com or by calling Roger at 519 565-2202 or Scott at 519 565-2827.

These trails, built entirely by volunteers, are for public use by local residents and tourists alike thanks to a partnership with Bluewater and the generosity of private landowners. Over the years the BRVTA has contributed much to community improvement through fundraising. Sponsorship of the Terry Fox Run for the past four years has raised over $14,000. An additional $1,000 was raised for the Goderich MRI Imaging project and $1,200 for the Clinton Hospital. In 2013, the Festival of Fitness and Art in Bayfield used the trails to raise in excess of $4,000 for the Goderich Hospital. The trails are free of charge to the public and provide a superb opportunity for families and people of all generations to enjoy the beauty of our area. Organizers hope people will come out for a wonderful evening and support the Bayfield trails and encourage them to get their tickets early! UNITED CHURCH While most parents strive to raise kids to be responsible and respectful, they are often left wondering how to raise them to be spiritual. Fostering a sense of awe and gratitude can lead to increased awareness of our common humanity and a sense of belonging to the larger cosmos. With busy lives and an increasingly secular society, parents, and grandparents, may be unsure of how to engage children and youth on issues that might have been previously addressed in Sunday School: questions of meaning and purpose in life, concepts of 'the sacred' and learning to think beyond themselves. These challenges and more will be addressed at an evening workshop sponsored by St. Andrew's United Church in Bayfield. It will be held on Aug. 25 from 7- 8:30 p.m. Parents and grandparents are welcome to come and join in some interactive discussion and hopefully take home some helpful tools for fostering spirituality at home. The evenings will be co -lead by Huron -Perth Presbytery Youth Minister Kathy Douglas, and St. Andrew's minister, Rev. Elise Feltrin. Please contact the church for more information 519 565-2854. There is no charge for this event and everyone is welcome to attend either or both of the sessions.

The CFAs are a group of trained volunteers who work with Health Unit staff and community partners to promote healthy eating and food safety to consumers in Huron County. The successful program is in its 20th year in the county. In 2014 alone, the 22 Huron County CFAs reached a total of over 1,500 people through presentations, cooking classes and other educational appearances. "Huron County residents from all walks of life tell us how valuable the CFA program is," said Gail Fraser, CFA volunteer coordinator. "Becoming a CFA is a great volunteer activity for people with an interest in food. You help to improve the health of your community, meet new people, gain more skills and have fun!" The current recruitment is the first recruitment drive in three years. Training is free and will begin in mid- September. Volunteers will receive training from professionals, including a registered dietitian, public health inspectors, nurses, a professional home economist and a communications specialist. After completing the 40 hours of training, volunteers become certified Community Food Advisors. Their volunteer hours as a CFA are flexible.

The Commissioner's Own Pipes and Drums of the Ontario Provincial Police, Seaforth and District All Girls Marching Band as well as the Clinton Legion Pipe Band kept many a foot a tapping as they marched by. The Shriners presence always adds some excitement to the parade and they did not disappoint with representation from the Mocha Shriners Mini Kars, Mocha Temple Road Runners, and the Mocha Jeepsters Unit. And of course it wouldn't be a Bayfield Community Fair parade with out riders on horseback and those delightful miniature horses encouraging all to follow them to the fairgrounds to experience all the delights that can only be found at a small town fair.

The 159th Bayfield Community Fair was officially opened on Friday night paying homage to the 100th anniversary of 4H Clubs.

And the Carnival Music Fest was moved to Saturday night with acts Trent Severn and The Sadies entertaining. On Sunday the air surrounding Agriculture Park was filled with the sweet sounds of gospel music as people from all village and area churches came together for an outdoor community church service and united their voices in the singing of hymns. And then in the afternoon some good old- fashioned country music could be heard upstairs in the community centre as fiddles and guitars combined at the annual Jamboree. Saturday dawned with agriculture stepping to the forefront at the fair. The Western (Light) Horse Show, 4-H Sheep Club Competition and the 4-H Dairy Achievement were all held. On Sunday afternoon the Heavy Horses and Mules attracted attention in the show ring. And the Miniature Horses put on a really big show on Sunday afternoon as well. Such activities as wiggle cars, a petting zoo, mini tractor pull, face painting, balloon animals, a pet parade, a magic show, a dunk tank and knife and axe throwing demonstrations by the Huron County Chuckers also kept folks amused throughout the weekend. Cate Thompson, 11, of Bayfield, was the artist behind this first prize winning poster.

Well, such was the case for me this past weekend but thankfully it was only a reference to how busy I was and not the weather. Bayfield Community Fair weekend is always an extremely busy time for me as I try to cover as many events as humanly possible. The Bayfield Agricultural Society volunteers work so hard to make the weekend a success and they deserve the best coverage I can give. So when I was asked last January to organize a fundraising event at the Goderich airport for Camp Klahanie on the same weekend I agreed to do so with some trepidation.

And a few would be staying where we now reside. A tent was even pitched in our backyard. Now I love family get-togethers especially for such jolly occasions as pending nuptials so I was a quite concerned how I could be in three places at once? Well, here on this Wednesday morning I can tell you with a lot of support it is achievable. But I did have quite a long nap late on Sunday afternoon. Thanks to everyone who volunteered at the Camp Klahanie booth and shared pictures from the fair. Thanks especially to my husband who kept pace with me - ever supportive of the things I get myself into. — Melody P.S. Thanks also to the person who provided a portable typewriter for my Mother. She was thrilled. And I was impressed that I had one offered to me 20 minutes after my column in the Bayfield Breeze was launched to the world last week.
