Making new friends
Special events are held at the Brussels Farmers' Market
every week and last Friday there was a petting zoo for the
younger and the younger -at -heart at the market. Shown is

features of the zoo. (Denny Scott photo)
kids are back in school, the closets
have been checked, old things tossed
and new supplies obtained.
Organizations have new schedules
out and folks are phoned and plans
are made for the fall. So yes, it's a
Happy New Year time.

The weather is certainly
announcing that autumn has arrived.
Long pants and sweaters are getting
a quick check just to be ready, in
case. For many, this is the last
chance to celebrate with camping
and visiting very popular ways to
spend this last summer long
weekend.
A chat on CBC radio this week
talked about Labour Day being
really, a New Year's start. As I
thought about it, it was correct. The

In the same vein, summer jobs are
over. Now is the time for students to
analyze the experience. Yes, it was
money, but is it something to do
long-term or will it get chalked up as
experience for next summer? When
you think about your own summer
jobs, it's easy to be reminded of the
ones you never want to do again —
like wrapping butter at the Bluevale
creamery. The good ones offered
experiences that serve a lifetime,
like my waitress job at Danny's.
The Thresher Reunion is this
week, so pop to Blyth for a trip
down memory lane and enjoy the
atmosphere.
The buzz of the Fall Fair is going,
so get your plans made to be all
ready.
The Farmers' Market is going well
and the United Church folks are
making pies for a bake sale there on
Friday, so get your treats.

Fall marks time to
renew memberships
By Jo -Ann McDonald
It is fall and time to renew
Brussels Legion Branch
membership. The early bird
program, which means a discount on
dues, runs from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30.
Each month a name is drawn and
that member will win having their
dues paid for the 2018 year. So don't
delay and pay your dues before the
end of September and have three
chances to win your next year's
dues.
Poppy chairman Sandra Josling
attended the poppy seminar in
Goderich last week. She learned
about the changes and report forms
required.
The Brussels Branch is following
the lead of many other branches and
will be doing a mail -out canvas
during the poppy season. The door-
to-door campaign and poppy boxes
will still be distributed as in the past
in town.
This is just another way the
Branch is looking to the future.
The Branch was one of many
taking part in the Drivers' Challenge
Fundraiser for Legions at Clinton
Raceway on Sunday. The Branch
had over a dozen donated items for
the auction and sold over a dozen
dinner tickets for the Pineridge
chicken dinner. It was a great day for
all to enjoy the racing and group
