GREAT CROWD OUT FOR GHOSTLY
WALK
As darkness fell on Saturday night, Oct. 8, a hidden, darker side of Bayfield's past emerged. Over the decades,
there have been many unexplained events, cruel murders and strange happenings in the village. Dave Gillians,
the author of'For the Love of Bayfield', on behalf of the Bayfield River Flats fundraising campaign, vividly
described documented cases of sightings and unexplained occurrences of real people who lived in Bayfield. A
tremendous crowd turned out on a chilly evening to hear these tales that were sure to resonate in their minds,
long after the lantern dimmed at the end of the night. Donations to the Bayfield River Flats Campaign were
collected for this blood chilling experience. (Photos by Adriaan Schreuder)

CYCLING STRATEGY
.,,,Print
The County of Huron has developed a strategy
intended to improve cycling safety and enjoyment in
our region. The Huron County Cycling Strategy
Committee has created a draft strategy. The
committee is comprised of stakeholders from the
cycling, health, municipal, police, tourism, and
transportation sectors.
Working with the Share the Road Cycling Coalition, a
leader in promoting bicycle friendly communities, the
committee hosted two public workshops in May of
2016 to discuss education and awareness initiatives,
infrastructure improvements and best practices
adopted in other areas of Ontario. The resulting
Huron County Cycling Strategy recommends a
number of actions and an implementation plan that
will make our communities more cycling friendly
within the next five years.
The draft strategy can be viewed online at
www.huroncounty.ca and copies are also available at
special kiosks in all Huron County libraries during the

Starting mid -summer the new play structure was installed and other improvements to the existing playground
in Clan Gregor Square were implemented. (Submitted photos)
This new "senior" play space will draw the older children away from the main structure where
they can be physically active, and challenged in an age appropriate environment. The structure
is designed with a six-foot deck height that complies with CAN/CSA Z614 playground
standards. It provides a fitness circuit that is cleverly disguised as a playground. This should
extend the life span of the park by keeping pre -teens engaged and active for many more years.
DIRECTOR POSITIONS NEED FILLED
ON AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY BOARD
The fair season is almost over in Ontario; many people expect that the fair organizers start their
new planning next Spring but that is not the case. The Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) has
had two meetings since August and planning is fully in gear for making contacts for
entertainment, events and items of interest.
One new contact will be to investigate the possibility of bringing a quilt car for the parade and
having it displayed during the fair. The convertible is fully covered with a custom made quilt.
Planning has also tentatively begun on a second Breakfast on the Farm. Volunteers are always
appreciated. They are encouraged to let the BAS know of their willingness to support. Send
your interest in assisting to info@bayfieldfair.ca.
The BAS is also seeking some community members to fill some of the Director and a few

The Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers and The
Goderich Quilters' Guild will be holding a joint
exhibition and sale at the Huron County Museum on
Nov. 5-6.
There will be many quilted and woven items as well
as other handcrafted fiber creations on display and
for sale. On site demonstrations will also be taking
place during the show and sale.
The joint exhibition will take place Saturday, from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4 p.m. Admission
to both days is free.

In early spring of 2016 a notice was posted in the
Bayfield Breeze asking if anyone was interested in
forming an artist association in Bayfield. Many people
came forward (and continue to), and thus the
Bayfield Artist Guild (BAG) began.
BAG is interested in growing its membership and

COUNTY TOURISM PROMOTION
CHARTING NEW COURSE
Following approval of the five-year strategic economic development plan by Huron County
Council in December of 2015, the Department of Economic Development has been charting a
new course for tourism promotion in the county. Tourism is identified in the plan as one of
seven key growth sectors and is therefore being resourced as a priority by the department.
To highlight the region's signature visitor experiences and enhance the appeal of our
destinations, tourism is being combined with arts and culture. While staple tourism programs
will continue in 2017, such as the Ontario's West Coast (OWC) brand and the annual OWC
Guide, several new and complementary initiatives are planned, including:
The establishment of Tourism, Arts and Culture Enabling Committee comprised of industry
representatives, Huron County Economic Development Board members and staff of the
Department of Economic Development. The mandate of the committee will be to work in
partnership with the communities that have identified tourism, arts and culture as a key sector
in their local economic development strategies.
Responding to marketplace demands, the 2017 Ontario's West Coast Guide will be created in
a format that utilizes best practices in terms of design, information and online accessibility.
The Ontario's West Coast brand will remain in place for 2017. Following an industry best
practice to periodically evaluate a brand's effectiveness, a review of the Ontario's West Coast
brand will be scheduled to occur in the near future.
The County will proudly continue to promote specific tourism opportunities online using
Ontario's West Coast assets, including the e -newsletter, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
properties; and, the County will hold roundtable discussions with industry, stakeholders and
other levels of government to support tourism, arts and culture in Huron County.
Over the coming months, more information will be made available as the Department of
Economic Development powers forward in delivering on its strategic objectives and our slogan:
"Huron County: More than you imagined..."
STUDENTS CROSS COUNTRY AT
HURON CENTENNIAL
The parish and its records date back to 1835, and its
first minister, Rev. Robert Francis Campbell later
served at Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield from
1849-60. The present St. George's building is
celebrating the 135th anniversary of its dedication. To
celebrate this occasion, Eleanor Smith a former long-
time Bayfield -area resident and Trinity Anglican
parishioner has published a book commemorating
the 43 people honored in its 26 stained glass
windows. The oldest window pre -dates the existing
church building and the newest was installed in 1964.
She will be presenting a power point program to the
BHS, starting at 7:30 p.m., in which she will tell the
stories about some of the people to whom the
windows were dedicated. The stories are of tragedy
and heroism, of victory and defeat.
HARVEST DINNER
The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA)
will be holding their second annual Fall Harvest

VICTORY PARADE CELEBRATED THE MEN OF THE 161ST
Early birds to the parade got to see the historical re -enactors as they sang and marched their way from the
Huron County Museum around The Square to the Goderich Legion where the parade formation occurred.
PHOTOS BY MELODY FALCONER -
POUNDER
The 161st Battalion of Huron County began their
journey to the battlefields of France on
Thanksgiving weekend of 1916. Two special
events marked the 100th Anniversary on
Saturday, Oct. 8. The first event was a Victory
Parade that was a partial re-enactment of the final
march around Goderich Square and down East
Street to the former train station that the 161 st
made one hundred years ago.
Huron County Museum staff and volunteers busily
handed out Union Jacks for those that gathered
along the route to wave. It was a chilly, windy
afternoon but those that gathered were
enthusiastic from senior citizens to young children
and their parents.
The Victory Parade began promptly as the
Courthouse clock struck two bells. Nine historic re -
enactors of The Great War Society, including one
on horseback, were featured in the parade that
also included the Celtic Blue Highlanders, the
Clinton Legion Branch 140 Pipes and Drums, the
Goderich Laketown Band and the Seaforth All
Girls Marching Band. There was also a contingent
from the cadet corps and a Legion color guard.
The Huron County Warden also participated in the
parade.
Following the parade, The Royal Canadian
Legion, Goderich Branch 109 played host to a
161st Battalion Descendants Dinner. The Legion

Visitors to The Square on Saturday afternoon were transported back in time to Thanksgiving weekend 1916.
The Celtic Blue Highlanders of Goderich marched in the parade.
The color party rounds The Square toward East Street.
The parade and dinner were part of a series of
events taking place this fall to commemorate the
100th Anniversary of the deployment of the 161st
Battalion and Huron County's role in the First
World War. The Government of Canada, County of
Huron, Town of Goderich and Huron Arts and
Heritage Network provided support to a committee
made up of local heritage organizations to develop
these events. For more information on the events
and the 161st Battalion visit

The Great War Society re -enactors added much
authenticity to the Victory Parade events.
The Seaforth and District All -Girls Marching Band was just
one of four bands in the Victory Parade held in Goderich on
Saturday afternoon.

The country's colors were well represented by the Seaforth and District All -Girls Marching Band members.
Following the parade, The Royal Canadian Legion,
Goderich Branch 109 played host to a 161st Battalion
Descendants Dinner.

The Great War Society re -enactors paused for a moment
near the entrance of the park where the Cenotaph sits
before making their way down East Street.

Huron County Museum staff and volunteers busily handed
out Union Jacks for those that gathered along the route to
wave. It was a chilly, windy afternoon but those that
gathered were enthusiastic from senior citizens to young
children and their parents.

Back in July when our grandson had a week's vacation here in Bayfield a highlight of the holiday was a surprise trip to
Storybook Gardens. We hadn't been since our two were about 10 or 11 years old and I must say I was impressed with the
improvements. Graham had a grin the size of the Cheshire Cat and his eyes gleamed the whole time we were there, while
walking along a shaded path he looked up and asked me, "Do you think this is what Disney Land is like, Gramel?"
"Well, Graham," I said. "This place is pretty cool but I think Disney Land is probably even cooler."
I couldn't help but chuckle because little did our five year-old sprite know that in just a few more months he would learn just
how cool Disney World (he calls it Disney Land, but we're working on that) really is. Back in the spring we had booked a family
vacation there for the end of October.

The big reveal happened Thanksgiving Weekend. He and his sister were told to close their eyes and their
Dad put Mouse Ears on their heads and then they were told to open their eyes and look at each other. Two
year-old Noelle knew instantly that the picture on her brother's hat was that of Mickey Mouse. And at that
moment the same Cheshire sized grin and sparkling eyes returned to Graham's face as he realized that he,
and in fact all of us, were going to Disney Land (I mean, World).
am so looking forward to seeing Disney through fresh eyes once again. I was 22 the first time I rounded
the corner of Main Street and saw the castle. You are never too old for such a magical moment and in just
10 more sleeps we'll be living the dream. Nope, it's not just the little kids that are counting down. — Melody
