It’s been another week of change – Bruce Philips, a meteorologist was on Canada AM and is always fun to listen to as he reviews the weird and wonderful weather of Canada. He has helped compile the Weather Calendar for many years and with a smile mentioned that this hot topic calendar outsells even Playboy. So no wonder we start with the weather. Excellent fair last week. Lots of participation with quality products, be it art or craft, grain or beans, sewing or knitting, fruit or vegetables, bread or brownies, flowers or photos, alpaca or holstein. It is amazing to see all the things that people do and the results of their labours. Thanks again for showing us the blessing we have in our agriculture community. The IPM was near at hand near Mitchell and if you went the first few days you had a good time. Later rain ruled. Stories will be told for years to come about the mud and water depth by Saturday. Prior to that the place was amazing with well- organized parking and wagon rides to the site. The many displays were interesting – equipment old and new on display, products you didn’t know existed, and of course food andentertainment to no end. Sowandering the site showed a lot of our community visiting and taking a keen interest in how agriculture is doing. For us Saturday started with a nice chat with Nancy and Bruce Corriganat Cinnamon Jim’s. They’re herefrom Port Hawkesbury/Port Hastings, Nova Scotia to check on Mother Betty Gowing and catch up on the family news. So if you’re in the Cape Breton area stop in. Belgrave United was the place tobe for organ music and food onSaturday. Each hour the type of music changed to show the century. Twelve hours of organ music takes a lot of preparation and it was played by the talented Ann Clarke, the church organist. As well as themelodies, breakfast then chili couldbe enjoyed then later peruse the many silent auction and food items available. A good place to spend a rainy Saturday. Good idea. There are lots of things to do on the weekend – Jamie Warren at cinnamon Jim’s, the Legion Fish Fry, Community Living Dinner and Dance, Harmony Kings in Seaforth and to top any of those Ross Nichol’s 90th birthday party is on Sunday, then you can rest. Bye now, Betty G.W. Starting the festivities Brussels Fair Ambassador, Kabrina Bishop, left, and Fair Committee Chair Nicole Noble kicked off the Brussels Fall Fair last Tuesday when they participated in the ceremonial cutting of the corn stalks. The event, which ran from Tuesday to Wednesday night, shines a spotlight on the crafts, skills and agricultural prowess of people of all ages from Brussels and the surrounding communities.
