These "tin cans" are the affectionately known name for a particular type of vintage house trailers. The Black Fly Sunset Caravan is on a tour of the Lake Huron shoreline communities and will stop in at Bayfield this Sunday. They are quite proud of their trailers and welcome anyone to take a look and talk with any of the members. Once they arrive, they do plan on visiting the Main Street of Bayfield and the many sites of interest but there will be someone left behind to answer any questions about these portable vacation homes. If interested in learning more about these motor coaches, visit www.tincantourists.com. This should prove to be a great experience reliving the past in Agriculture Park. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek281ssue4l8/tabid/839/Default.aspx 1/19 6/13/2019 Week -28 Issue 418 V'1;- 6.9Kz se m" !"

V13RIJAMAUNW.0 W131 HERITAGE CONFERENCE The Municipality of Bluewater and the Town of Goderich have prepared a bid to host the Ontario Heritage Conference in May 2019. Famous for their Heritage Conservation Districts, among the oldest in Ontario, Bluewater and Goderich contain deep wells of built and cultural heritage. The Ontario Heritage Conference attracts up to 250 delegates from across the province. There is discussion of current issues And who wouldn't line up for pancakes with real maple syrup, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, toast and juice, plus let's not forget the Tim Horton's coffee, generously donated by the Tim Horton's of Exeter. The cost for the breakfast is adults, $8; and children, $5.

The Southern Ontario Thunderbird Club (SOTC) hopes to have more than 100 Thunderbirds park in the shade of Clan Gregor Square during their 21 st annual car show in Bayfield on July 9 cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week281ssue4l8/tabid/839/Default.aspx 3/19 6/13/2019 Week -28 Issue 418 and opportunities between professionals and volunteers. An announcement of the successful proponent is anticipated in September. "We are delighted to work in partnership with Goderich. Both communities have a rich history of heritage conservation and recognition of the contribution heritage makes to our local quality of life," said Roma Harris, chair of the Bluewater Heritage Advisory Committee. "We would be delighted to host this event and encourage visitors to explore this special part of Ontario." The bid to host the conference has enthusiastic support from both Municipal Councils that represent a long tradition of preservation of historical properties. It would be a dream come true for Century Farm owner Bill Dowson, a Bluewater committee member. There are countless multi -generational farms, family cottages and four heritage conservation districts in the area (one district is in Bluewater, three are in Goderich). If successful, delegates would tour historic Goderich and see for themselves how the centre of the town, including most of the commercial district, has rebuilt from a tornado in August 2011. The unique layout of Goderich's core encompasses eight primary streets radiating from an octagon bounded by eight business blocks. "The Square", "West Street", and "The Outer Square" are three heritage conservation districts within this 65 -acre core area. Delegates would tour historic sites in Bluewater where the local history features the oldest Anglican building in Huron County (Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield), three 100 -year-old town halls and many unique figures such as Narcisse Cantin who envisioned building a canal from St. Joseph to the St. Lawrence Seaway.

New entertainment activities keep the fair an event worth coming back to each year. For 2017 there will be a midway; however, having one is a task that becomes harder every year. There are fewer operators in the industry and several have reduced the number of rides they carry. People are encouraged to come out and enjoy this form of entertainment when it is in here since it may no longer be an option in the next few years. To celebrate Canada's 150th there will be a fireworks display again. Although organizers cannot guarantee there will be nature's fireworks and the human created variety synchronized to happen at the same time as occurred in 2016. In fact they hope that was a once in a lifetime event. There will be two entertainers appearing around Bayfield on Aug. 19, Joey The Acrobat Guy and Trulee Odd. Both live for entertaining and are coming to Bayfield because of a joint effort of the BAS and the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC). The Chamber will be taking both entertainers around Bayfield to perform in several different locations and they will be performing at the fair by the tent as well. There will be pigs at the fair this year. Check out their names and the people who created their names. They will be easier to see after 2:30 p.m. on the Saturday of the fair. The Friesian horses this year will actually have a competition with an obstacle course as one of the categories. See the many demonstrations of past activities in the arena. There is always a need for monetary support for various parts of the fair as well as volunteer assistance. Anyone wishing to provide monetary support or to volunteer is asked to contact the BAS by emailing info@bayfieldfair.ca.

In addition to learning about modern dairy farming, everyone attending will be served a hearty breakfast. This year the BAS is pleased to partner with the Londesborough Lions Club to prepare the meal consisting of sausages, bacon, eggs, pancakes with maple syrup, toast and milk or coffee. The meal can be eaten under a tent set up to keep everyone sheltered. Visitors will be able to eat at the new tables the BAS bought recently. The children will have some activities to keep them amused while their parents take time to visit with neighbors and friends. There will be some machinery to look over and several organizations will have booths set up to explain what they do to support our agricultural industry in this area.

Extra tickets were made available this year to accommodate more visitors. A few will be left at the gate but it would be wise to obtain them in advance since the event was sold out in advance of the Breakfast date last year. Volunteers are always welcome. If you would like to assist with the event, contact the BAS through info@bayfieldfair.ca. July 15 should provide a great opportunity to learn what is behind another barn door in the community. r For the participants of Friday's One Care Fitness Class, held at the Bayfield Community Centre, Canada Day celebrations started early.

Valedictorian address by Brianna Steckle. Welcome teachers, parents and graduating students. On the evening of June 27, the Grade 8 students at Huron Centennial School became the graduating Class of 2017. (Submitted photo) I have been attending Huron Centennial for 10 years. When I add all the years that my grandpas, and parents have attended this school, all together we make up a total of 33 proud years at this awesome school. We hope for many more years to come for our family. Well, Class of 2017 ... we made it, the time is finally here. As we enter High School, it's with mixed emotions I'm sure. There are so many unknowns as we move into Grade 9. Some of us will be going to different schools, we will go on to make new friends and find new routines. This is exciting and scary all at the same time. It's going to be different leaving a place that has felt so much like home and so familiar for so many years. Let's take a walk down memory lane. Do you remember? In Kindergarten, some of us had Mrs. Scruton and some had Mrs. Hill. We only had to go every other day, and then every other Friday. Sweet deal for us! Our memories consist of playing at the centers, singing the clean up song, and just being carefree. I remember walking on the silver lines, with hand on your hip and finger on your lip. Oh, and who could forget being the star of the day. Being able to sit in the special chair instead of the ground. I wish that is how we could spend our days now. In Grade 1 our gym class consisted of playing with the parachute, tag and sharks. But who could forget getting your fingers run over while playing scooter soccer, because all you wanted to do was get that goal. In Grade 2, some of us had Mrs. Scruton and some had Mrs Ireland. I had Mrs. Ireland. Man what a year, there are so many amazing memories. One of my favorites was while we were learning about solids, liquids and gases we colored pictures of different solids, liquids and gases. Connor Flynn was doing a gas and colored a fart! While Mrs.lreland put up some of the pictures the other kids had colored on the board, Connor was still coloring and Mrs.lreland said "Connor can you pass me your fart?!" She didn't catch herself until after Connor asked her to repeat herself. And who could forget learning about brilliant beginning, mighty middle and excellent ending while writing our own narratives? I still use it to this day while writing narratives and essays. We were fortunate enough that Mrs. Ireland thought our writing was stellar enough to make a book about all our narratives. It's still one of the most read books in my house. Grade 3 included the trip of a lifetime, to the Pioneer village. We went into one -room schoolhouses and we were taught how the pioneers learned in the classroom. Wow, I had so with awards at their graduation ceremonies on the evening of June 27.

Who can forget, Green team with Mrs. Regier Dylan Becker - and Waste Free Wednesdays? Near the end of the year, we faced the worst possible obstacle Sanford Family "Technology" Award - EQAO - which stands for Education Quality Accountability Office in the adult world, or what we kids call it, Evil Questions Attack Ontario. But we endured it anyway. Devon Durand - Bluewater Community Development Foundation In our Grade 4 year we didn't have Pads that we could do our work on so we would go to the Award - Male library and work on the computers. If there was a story on the computer and we weren't finished there was no way to do it at home because WordPerfect would only save on the Katelyn Hammel - school computer. Such difficulties! Bluewater Community Development Foundation Award - Female In Grade 5, we were supposed to have Mrs. Somerville, but she left on a maternity leave. So we had Mrs. Hogan for... about 2-3 weeks. Then, she got a job at a different school, so we had Connor Flynn - Ms. Robertson. She was great and she stuck it out the longest! Huron East Citizenship Award — Male For Grade 6, we used laptops and iPads to do our work. This is the year we got email Emma Devries Yates - addresses so then we finally got to use Google Docs. Goodbye Word Perfect, hello being Huron East Citizenship Award — Female efficient! The biggest perk of all came when the teachers went on strike. So we didn't have to Alecia Poland - write EQAO. So there were no evil questions that attacked us that year. Jeremy Renning Memorial Graphic Arts Award Finally Grade 7 and 8, our Grade 7 year we began to anticipate being the "Kings of the Owen Gemmell - School!" Our highlight of the year was going to Boler Mountain tree topping and finding out if Tuckersmith Communications Co-operative Huron we have a fear of heights. Many of us enjoyed the challenge. Well, my experiences with having East Community Development Award - Male Mrs. Moxham as a teacher has enlightened me and entertained me from her crazy ear gestures, to her outbursts from seeing equipment left outside to her need for organization. Silke Miedema - Allan Family Spirit Award Mrs. Brady always has great inspiration for our Art assignments I'm always amazed at how easy she can make it and how great my end result is. **HM - Honorable Mention I don't think that anyone here can say that his/her time at Huron Centennial School has been anything less than extraordinary.

AN ILLUMINATING BIRTHDAY BASH takes to the stage in a tribute to his late father "Stompin' Tom" Connors. "Stompin' Tom" was a Canadian country and folk singer -songwriter who is credited with writing more than 300 songs in his lifetime. His music focused exclusively on the Canadian experience and hits such as 'Bud the Spud', 'Sudbury Saturday Night' and 'The Hockey Song' made "Stompin' Tom" a national icon. Taw has been quoted as saying, "I'll never fill that man's shoes" but his voice sounds uncannily like his fathers and thanks to Taw's "The Canadian Stompper" tribute concert series, the music of "Stompin' Tom" is alive again at venues across the province. The show will start at 7p.m. at the Hensall Heritage Hall located at 108 King Street. Tickets are $35. For tickets please call Kathy at 519 263-2343. They are also available at D&D Variety in Hensall, or Ticketscene.

CELEBRATE 1-5-0 THROUGH STORIES What a tale could be told by many items from the past! A collection of historical items will be on display at the REACH Centre in Clinton on July 7-8 as part of the 1-5-0 celebrations in Central Huron. Items that have resided not far from Bayfield will be on display. There will also be several stories that have been shared just for this occasion. A great way to celebrate this country's sesquicentennial would be to bring children and grandchildren to see how people communicated a century ago, or how they stored things over winter, or what a school desk was like in a one room school. The historical display will be open from 3-8 p.m. on Friday, July 7 followed by fireworks and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 8. ] HE _iV" 1�V E 2018-19 SEASON ST.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Six hundred plus people came through the doors of the Bayfield Arena on July 1 st to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday with a BBQ, concert and activities for the youngsters. Organizers report that lots of families and young kids enjoyed the two bouncy castles and getting their faces painted by Snippitty the Clown. Rob Bundy took on the role of the Father of Confederation, Sir John A. MacDonald. He reported that one young girl asked him if he really was the Prime Minister. No word on whether she requested a selfie with him. People were greeted at the door by Sir John A. MacDonald, aka Rob Bundy, and the welcome committee who applied maple leaf tattoos and got everyone into the festive spirit by handing out flags and pins. The arena was a sea of red and white - from the flag draped decor to everyone's dress. In addition to the menu of BBQ Beef and Sweet Pickled Ham served alongside a delicious variety of cold salads, volunteers served up over 100 homemade pies and 200 cupcakes. "People seemed to enjoy this new venue (the event is usually held upstairs in the community centre) as they were able to stay and socialize - everyone really enjoyed visiting and there were many positive comments about what a great community get together this was," said Rev. Elise Feltrin, from St. Andrew's United Church, the congregation hosted the event.

(Photo by Reeka Spence) STORY BY MELODY FALCONER - POUNDER It rained in the morning as Canada Day in Bayfield dawned but that didn't prevent nearly 150 village residents, cottagers and their family and friends from taking part in the largest hike in the history of the village. In fact although it was a bit humid the sun did shine on the group that donned their best red and white and hiked part of the village's perimeter. This walk used existing pathways, trails, and roads in the village and all who took part received shouts of encouragment from residents as they passed their properties along the route. The Boundary Walk concluded back in Clan Gregor Square where Ryan Malcolm, the first ever winner of the television program, "Canadian Idol", who now calls Bayfield home, had the honor of leading the crowd in the singing of O'Canada and then an impromptu rendition of Happy Birthday Canada! Participants earned a special commemorative trail badge to recognize the event as well as the 10th anniversary of the Bayfield River Valley Trails Association. Hike leader Chris Bowers showed his patriotic colors during the hike.
