neat holiday things up and ready to
enjoy.
Howick Twp. started the month
with its celebrations and Grey
followed this past weekend with a
tribute to history. Music in the park
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It's been a busy week for some at
the Brussels Legion, who were
getting prepared and packed to do a
meal at Grey Twp.'s 150th
anniversary party. It was a great day
with the fish fry crew serving over
450.
The crew included Rick, Jo-Ann,

Festival is in full swing. Open Doors
Ontario schedule is out and the usual
items of summer are available for
our leisure. The problem can be
what to do and when, not what's
there to do today in our corner of the
world.
We spent Canada Day in Grundy
Provincial Park with grandsons
Andrew and Zach dressed in our red,
waving our flags and canoeing and
having a very Canada Day. I'm
always impressed when the land
formation changes. At Grundy, north
of Parry Sound the rocks are right at
the ground surface and observing the
tenacity of plants to grow out of the
rock always gives me pause. It

doesn't take long to imagine the
Group of Seven wandering about the
northern part of Ontario and painting
very impressive landscapes just like
we were enjoying.
The camp staff, one area of very
obvious government cutbacks, did a
good job of telling the history of the
park and retelling the past land uses.
Logging of white pine, the fur trade
and now tourism have kept the many
lakes and rivers in the area busy over
the past 300 years.
After six days together we had the
camping life pretty well figured out
and all agreed under the stars that
we'd had a very good time and must
do it again.
The organizers, the planners and
was beautifully adorned through-
out.
Congratulations to the
newlyweds. ,
Our deepest sympathies are
extended to the Brighton family on
the passing of Irma Brighton. The
family gathered downstairs for the
luncheon following the service on
Saturday.

academic excellence.
workers from Grey Twp. are having
a quiet week. Taking time to
consider the weekend past and the
success of the 150th celebration of
their part of Huron County. Times
like these are for remembering the
pure guts of our ancestors and giving
thanks for that intestinal fortitude as
they opened up the land and our
future.
Can you imagine how cold and
hungry they were at times as they
cleared the land for buildings for
shelter, then fields for crops and
finally roads for community? No
running water for shower, no central
heat and no grocery store — yes we
need to be very thankful for the
efforts for our ancestors.
So the smiles on the faces and the
laughter and chatting was the best
part of reviewing the history of Grey.
As the next 150 takes form we are
thankful for the enthusiasm, the
labour and pride in land that comes
from Grey Twp. as they offered all of
us a very well planned, thought out
weekend. Thank you for all the
fun.
Keep your eyes open, things are
on the move. A wee cherub was
found all alone in south Brussels and
not at its right home, and the letters
from the Legion Board are out and
about.
Be observant Crime Stoppers or
the OPP would like to know if you
have some facts.
Enjoy the summer.
