Well the Brussels fair is done for another year and it was a good one to remember. The fun and excitement in the air on Tuesday night is one of my favourite things of the fair every year. The kids checking out the midway and then dashing off to see how they did with their exhibits is such fun to watch. Everyone stopping to smell the flowers on display is another favourite. Adults mingling about seeing how the exhibits are this year, stopping at the food booths and chatting with friends and neighbours makes the Tuesday evening visit such fun. The new display arrangements were appreciated and made viewing more relaxed with the excellent school section in its own special spot. The better spacing let visitors have a better look. The speaking and the entertainment had less competition from the expected fair noise while letting the visiting and mingling continue unaffected. It was a nice surprise on Wednesday to view the parade. That was a tough call with the rain playing about all morning. So thanks to the folks who took the chance and yes did get a little damp but we truly did appreciate your effort. So to all the board and the many volunteers who make the fair such a great tradition — thank you. In case you- didn't drive by our place after Wednesday last week you would have missed a life-sized Ralph on a bicycle with a sign indicating safer riding, many balloons and silver 65! It's nice to have friends who wish to acknowledge the high points of life. Ralph's wrist fracture from the bicycle tumble was their way of saying Happy Birthday to the enjoyment of many. In this house birthdays are a time to pause and appreciate the person so needing 65 years of appreciation needed to be spread out a little. So we enjoyed food and friends here on Thursday, helped niece Rhonda Heise and Terry get married on Friday and did more birthdaying with family on Saturday. So for the birthday that you get paid for breathing Ralph was well celebrated. Now if I can put my hands on a couple of things that got tucked away while getting ready I'll be relieved. Clarence and Marie McCutcheon were celebrating 50 years of marriage on Saturday with lots of food, fun and laughs at the BMG Centre. Pictures being worth a thousand words were a real hit as their past was brought out for all to see and thoroughly enjoy. So to a very fine couple congratulations and continued love for life. If you see a tall blonde man from the north yes Peter Workman is in the area for some holidays,. It's always good to see Peter but it's some of the artwork of the northern communities that he brings to share that makes the visits even more exciting. A very real looking polar bear carved from marble, a baby bonnet with beading and fur and a watercolour on parchment were some of the pieces of beauty that make awesome the word to use for this art.
