(Shawn Loughlin photo) Elimination Draw a success A NOTE FROM BETTY By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-9231 Ah, the rains came, just enough to make life less stressful for the poor thirsty plants, now it seems they grow before your eyes — think grass and corn. Busy and fun was the weekend for many in the village. Several of the groups that make Brussels a good place to live were out doing fun things. Minor Ball members organized and ran a full day of games that had everyone who was anyone in at least one game. Then the Fire Department was out and about letting us know of the needs in community. Thank you. The 44th Annual Lions Elimination Draw was a sold -out success on Saturday evening. Good food and good company is hard to beat. Add ice cream and music and life gets even better. The Ballaghs from Teeswater once again offered their many talents to an appreciative audience. New and original music by the four Ballagh children was a new part of the show and a reflection in the diverity of the music they can offer. Audience response gave full approval of all that they performed. • Brussels Farmers' Market • Friday, June 10 '° sbe 2pm-6 pm Food: Brussels United Church • Music by Joseph & Marie Flynn - Great Fiddle & Piano Music 50/50 draw Weekly Vendor draw First winner - Lori Malhoit - Downtown Brussels An offering by Ava McCutcheon showed the muscle strength and control of her 10 -year-old body. Her dancing abilities (in a not -so -ideal venue — the arena floor) were received with awe and wonder. Her talent was obvious and that showed us just why she is heading to competition in Germany as part of the Canadian team. Good work Ava. A box was available for folks to support the McCutcheons in the cost of getting Ava to dance in Germany. Feel free to offer them your bit.
