Association fiarry Baker made a strong appeal for a donation of $100 to help the Bayfield Agricultural Soeiety. Lucy as a charter member of the Association. Was delighted to bear that it had been granted. Apparently there was some discussion as to whether 0115 would be needed year after year. Perhaps the Pioneer Pa* Association would not always be able to give it every year should some expensive project to prevent erosion at the park be undertaken. Considerable funds have been spent in the past on such projects which appear to help for a time, The Pioneer Park funds have been raised over the years since 1947 by generous donations, benefits such as concerts, card parties, rummage sales and memberships. And many of the directors have put in a good many hard hours of labour on the grounds and continue to do so, to bring the Park to its present state of development. Besides this many interested persons have contributed articles and spend hours of labour as exhibitors from distant points, Besides all -the work of the Directors and Committees it has been backed by a Department of Agriculture grant which was withdrawn as one of Prime Minister Trudeau's economy measures. He felt it no longer necessary to have such competitions and showings. Lucy feels that this Society should not fold up as so many have done but, if necessary, be supported by such donations, and•carty on as in the past. Competition in its various departments is good. It is good for people to get together to see what others are doing. For the school children it is of special interest. The school fairs which were organized by S. B. Stothers, Agricultural Representative in Clinton in the 1920's have long been incorporated in the Bayfield Fall Fair. Lucy's first attendance at a school fair was at Porters Hill. She particularly remembers driving F. A. Edwards mare "Queenie" hitched to a surrey. Miss M. E. Garrett (Washington D. C. and Bayfield), Miss Isabel Woods and Miss Flay Edwards were the other occupants, Coming home "Queenie" decided to bolt, but Lucy had strong wrists in those days and while the return trip was swift, the little bay mare was always under control. The 114th Annual Fall Fair is to be held in the arena in Bayfield on September 11 and 12 this year. Looking through the prize list brought back memories of other days to Lucy. Of the marvels of a three-dolly washing machine operated by a gasoline motor, the display of Lancelot, Beatty, Varna; of the displays of harness by John W. Tippet, Thos. Cameron, J. Snider (Brucefield) and others inside the "crystal palace". The polished brass homes were what caught Lucy's eyes. In the home crafts one saw exhibits of hanks of wool, hooked and braided mats, corn husk mats and homemade soap — the nearest one comes to this latter item today as a prize for the best decorated cake of soap (purchased at the store no doubt). Some people still make their own hard and soft soap. If more people used up their surplus fats this way it would be a great saving and eliminate the pollution caused by detergents. The flower section was particularly attractive to Lucy. As a child she watched her father's cousin, Mrs. G. H. Hewson (later Mrs. J. H. McLeod) make bouquets, large and small. It was a time-consuming task for in those days, tightly arranged colonial bouquets were the style. Then there were the collections of geraniums, all potted. On one occasion an exhibitor cut off stems with blooms and although she had a larger collection it was faulted. Large collections of house plants, floxinious tubers and fibrous rooted begonias etc., to say nothing of asters, pansies etc. as Lucy recalls chief other competitors were Mrs. Frank Keegan, Mrs. Richard Penhale, Mrs. Wm. F. Metcalf and later Barkers of Goderich exhibited flowers. Lucy remembers when the Grant Crego Asters first came on the market, they overshadowed all others. It took a long to time to pick out a plate and a collection of "tt egrapesontiskspelopmeulifloveer etc„ Lucy has a snapshot.akeri ;years of Mis. cleirion's exhibits piled into the aonkey cart which Ben Spencer pushed and supervised by Emily Osmord. There were several competitors who cornered the prizes in ladies' work and fine arts. Mrs. Howie and Mrs. Halliday of Goderich, Miss Livingston, Blyth, Mrs. SatreHouston and Mrs.,Murdock Ross all had trunks full. Other large exhibitors were Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Geiger of Zurich over a number of years. Over 50 years ago, believe it or not, Lucy could sew a fine seam and she managed to win a prize for crochet-trimmed and embroidered, hand-made nainsook underwear. In the Domestic Science class Carl reminded Lucy that she had once won first prize for a meat loaf which she made when her mother was away. It's so long ago that Lucy had forgotten, but to this day she remembers what her mother taught her in the cooking line. She remembers more of the delicious cooking, home-cured hams, bacon, lard and butter exhibited by Snowdens and others. In looking at the prize list which has a most attractive view of the gateway of the Agricultural Park done by Mrs. E. W. Oddleifson, Lucy was amused when she noticed a prize for antique cars in the parade. Time was when the Directors passed a motion banning all cars from the grounds. The Bayfield Fall Fair was a wonderful day in the life of a child when she could set upon the grandstand and watch the races, or listen to Richard Penhale's voice announcing the judging events in the show ring. A large tin horn served as a loudspeaker. Then there was the bawling of cattle, the bleating of sheep and the cackling of fowl when the day was over and fine farm teams and driving horses started for home. Lucy recalls J. W. Ortwein of Dashwood, later Hensall, driving out with a light with crates with red and blue prizes. He had a pair of nearly every fowl on the prize list. This is an historical Fall Fair. It's been down in the red before and come up again, not because people had more time to give then but because they were interested. One long-time exhibitor is Mrs. H. Johnstone of Goderich. The last two years, the Bayfield Historical Society has had an exhibit which.is most interesting in that it recalls the past to those whose memories are dim and shows the present generation how their forefathers managed. Long may the Bayfield Fall Fair be an attraction or in the slogan of years gone by "Bigger and Better than ever." The 24th annual meeting of the Pioneer Park Association was held recently in the park with a good attendance. A report was given on the Successful rummage sale and plans were made for next year's sale. Mrs. Wm. Tillmann, Mrs, Hugh Gregory and Mrs. Jack Cook will be the conveners. The Children's Art Show was a populer event again this year with Miss Kate Williams and Miss Cathy Willock in charge. These young ladies hope to have a real "Paint In" along with the Art Show next summer, The pr9blem of erosion continues to be a vexing one. Some new ideas to prevent further less of the bank at Pioneer Park were discussed such as were baskets filled with rocks placed in certain spots. A trial project will possibly be started __some time during the next year. A handsome rock has been placed in the park and it is planned to secure a bronze tablet to the rock. A new sign with the name Pioneer Park has been erected. A new Grounds Committee with Jack Cook as chairman will be responsible for maintaining the appearance of the park which is improving each year. An appeal was made on behalf of the Agricultural Society Fair Board — for financial assistance. It was decided that the Park Association is working for the benefit of the whole community, therefore they would give $100. to the Society and also pay half the cost of remaking the display tables. Canon F. H. Paull and Prof. H. K. Kalbfleisch were re-elected to the board for a 3 year term and Dr. Morgan Smith was elected to the board. At a subsequent executive meeting the following were elected: President, Prof. H. K. Kalbfleisch; Vice-President Dr. Morgan Smith; Secretary, Miss Kay Reid; Treasurer, Mrs. Wm. Parker. Other directors are: Mrs. John MacKenzie, Mrs. Wm. Tillmann, Mr. Harry Baker, Mr. J. R. R. Willock. A rare treat was provided recently in the showing of a series of slides depicting Bayfield, then and now. A large and appreciative audience attended the gathering which was sponsored by the Bayfield Historical Society and held in the Anglican Parish Hall, on Tuesday, August II. Mrs. LeRoy Poth had taken and arranged the pictures which included a large variety of scenes and buildings from the earlier days of the village and by contrast some of its more recent interests and activities. Her historical introduction and comments as the pictures were shown added to the pleasure of the audience: They were surprised to learn of our five bridges and to see the bare logged-off banks of the river, now so beautifully wooded. The summer cruise boat loaded with visitors from Detroit in our harbour. The exploits of some of our fishermen and much more. The program closed with candid views of some of our recent activities such as Lions Parade, the Walkathon, Auction Sale, the Historical Society Display at the agricultural Fair etc. Coloured pictures taken from the air showing our Village as it is today concluded the series.
