(Photos by Tony Van Bakel) Rainbow Valley Campground was alive with activity over the past weekend. Over 200 hardy fishermen took part in the annual Joe Brandon Memorial Rainbow Trout Derby on Oct. 16-18. The Bayfield Lions' Club sponsors the derby, now in its 37th year. Lion Tom Grasby, derby coordinator, said, "This is one of our most popular Lions events. Even though we had a full range of weather for this derby, including snow on Sunday morning, this rugged gang of anglers was out on the river competing with each other to land the largest trout." Dave Gibson, of London, caught the heaviest rainbow trout at 9.35 lbs thus earning him the first prize of $800. Second prize of $400 went to Jeremy Koene, of Mitchell, with a fish weighing 8.02 lbs. and the third prize of $200 went to Jeff Verdone, of Elmira, with a trout weighing 7.94 lbs. Eric Earl Trophy winner Brayden Vorsteveld accepted his trophy from Lion President Bill Rowat. The Eric Earle Memorial Trophy was awarded to Brayden Vorsteveld, of Wingham, in the 12 years and under group. His trout weighed in at 4.57 lbs.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY In his walks along the harbor front in Goderich, Paul Carroll was surprised to see that so many people stopped to read the marker signs identifying 40 or more locations of historical significance at the harbor. The signs tell the story that Tiger Dunlop and others had encountered the original sheltered basin at the mouth of the Menesetung River and from there the harbor evolved over the years, providing many historical tales for Carroll to weave into a book. The membership of the Bayfield Historical Society are fortunate to have been able to persuade Carroll to come to their October meeting to talk about the history of the Goderich Harbor and other harbors along the Lake Huron shoreline and share some fascinating stories. The meeting will be held on Oct. 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bayfield Lions' Community Building in Bayfield. All are welcome. WRITER'S CIRCLE The Writer's Circle is returning to the Bayfield Library on Wednesday nights from Oct. 28 to Dec. 2. The Circle will help anyone interested in learning how to write.

PHOTOS BY JACK PAL Volkfest was the talk of the town on Sept. 27 when Clan Gregor Square saw 60 plus Volkswagon (VW) Vans and Bugs parked under the shade trees. "Volkfest was an idea that I had while walking around Clan Gregor Square during Vettefest," said Ryan Somers, who organized the event which was sponsored by Elephant Juice, a juice and smoothie shop opened on Main Street his year by Somers and his partner Jennifer Reaburn. "I contacted Brian Coombs, the organizer of Vettefest, for a little advice, and then contacted Bluewater to get permission to use the park." Somers went on to say that he has attended several VW meet -ups in B.C. where people would get together with their old VW vans and bugs, so he thought it would be fun to do something like that here. "As it was the first year doing it, we had no idea what to expect, but we ended up having over 60 plus VW vans and bugs in attendance," said Somers. The busses, campers, vans and bugs hailed from the 50s through to the 90s. "There was also a live music stage in the park," said Somers. He noted that the stage was courtesy of The Docks Restaurant and the sound equipment courtesy of The Ashwood Bourbon Bar. Two local, musical acts, The Honey Sweethearts and Josh Geddis performed. There was also a Makers Market craft vendor area with about a dozen craft vendors, plus food cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek431ssue329/tabid/747/Default.aspx 6/10 6/13/2019 Week 43 Issue 329 Some of the participants began their day with a brunch in the morning at Smackwater Jack's in Grand Bend, followed by a caravan drive to Bayfield.

"The day also had a brunch in the morning at Smackwater Jack's in Grand Bend, with a caravan drive to Bayfield of about 20 plus vehicles," said Somers. And in the carefree spirit of owning a VW — a fun time was had by all. Sept. 25, 2016 is the date for the second annual Bayfield Volksfest.

BAYFIELD Q0. - tAPENHAGCh5 OPTIMIST SUBMISSIONS "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian." Yes, I stayed up into the wee hours of Tuesday morning to hear Prime Minister Elect Justin Trudeau give his acceptance speech. I didn't want to PVR it. I wanted to live in the moment. I don't consider myself a Liberal, a Conservative or a New Democrat but I do consider myself a Canadian. I've always had an interest in political history and perhaps a wee bit of a soft spot for the Trudeau family. Afterall, I was just 13 months old when Pierre came to power and sixteen years of age when he retired. When I was little I honestly thought he was our King. I remember watching his funeral and being very moved by his oldest son who offered his father's eulogy. I know the thought that he might make a good Prime Minister himself one day crossed my mind as I listened to Father and son are very different and the times we live in now are very different but what is similar is their ability to stir up national pride. And I woke with plenty of that on Tuesday morning... let's hope it continues -the next four years will tell the tale. - Melody P.S. Congratulations is sent out to all those who ran as candidates in this election, both those who won and those who lost not only here in our riding of Huron -Bruce but right across the country, for representing the people from coast to coast to coast is not for the faint of heart. And a heartfelt thank you to those who took the time to vote - 68 per cent of Canadians! The most since 1993. Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
