It was another busy weekend at
the Brussels Legion Branch on
Friday night. Barbecued hamburgers
and hot dogs with delicious salads
were enjoyed. This week is meat
loaf with scalloped potatoes and
baked beans. Suppers are from 5:30
p.m. to 7 p.m.
If you happen to drop in on Friday
night say Happy Birthday' to our
"old" bartender Sandra, who's cele-
brating 40 glorious years.
Breakfast on Sunday morning was
so good that they ran out of every-
thing. Over 100 people dropped in
for a bite and a visit at the Branch.
Comrade Alf Sutton is still in hos-
pital and our thoughts for better
health go to him.
Plans for our 70th anniversary in
October nave been firmed up so
keep Oct. 20 open. A banquet will be
held and we hope all members of the
Branch will be able to attend.
The Branch elimination tickets are
out and about with members and in
some local businesses. The draw
will be held Sept. 22 and there will
be local entertainers and Mike
Kalbfleisch's One Man Band.
Don't forget this weekend is our
fish fry at the Branch on Saturday
from 5 - 7 p.m.
Vandals
slash
trampoline
. On July 8 at 10 a.m. a citizen from
Ethel reported damage done in her
backyard.
Sometime during the night a per-
son entered the backyard of the
tlome, and completely destroyed a
12' diameter trampoline.
The canvass was cut into numerous
sections and will cost $500 to
repair.
A party took place in the village
the night before, which became noisy
and Out of control. Some of the peo-
ple at this party were charged with
driving offences that took place
when vehicles were dragging on the
street.
Any person who has information is
asked to contact the Huron OPP or
Crime Stoppers.
The 2001 Canadian National
Exhibition will host the Ambassador
of the Fairs Competition to find
Ontario's best young person to rep-
resent the agricultural industry and
the CNE at various agriculture func-
tions in the province. Contestants
representing 83 agricultural fairs
across Ontario will compete for the
Ambassador of the Fair title
in a three-day event.
Representing Brussels is Patricia
Wilbee. All contestants will be
judged by a panel on their knowl-
edge of current events, the CNE and
agriculture, agricultural concerns,
poise and personality. The judges
will select seven semi-finalists to
advance to the next stage of the
competition.
Each semi-finalist will give a 1.5-
minute speech on agriculture, agri-
cultural societies or an aspect of
their own fair or exhibition. These
• speeches will be judged and includ-
ed with their previous scores. From
the semi-finalists, three finalists will
be selected and will be expected to
answer an impromptu question. The
mark they receive on the question
will be tabulated with previous
scores to determine the winner.
The title of Ambassador of the
Fair is a prestigious distinction
within the agriculture industry, and
the winner is acknowledged as the
official ambassador of the Canadian
National Exhibition. The winner of
the competition will participate in
various activities at the 2001 CNE
as well as perform significant duties
at other fairs, such as,judging, open-
ing ceremony functions, guest
appearances, presentations and
speaking appearances.
Smashed
Vandalism at the Brussels gazebo will not be fixed after
dowling and benches were broken last Thursday night, July
12. The gazebo has been the target for vandals; it was last
damaged April 23. According to the Deb Seili, co-chair of
the Brussels business group, the damage is estimated at
$300. "We can't afford to give toys to irresponsible individ-
uals," she said adding that it wouldn't be repaired, just
cleaned up. If anyone has any information on the vandal-
ism they are asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-
8477.
