Sua"an Hundertmark
Grey is getting ready to kick in
2006.
After meeting once a month for
the past six months to prepare for
its 150th anniversary, a committee
of close to 30 orgai izers has created
a weekend packed with activities
from July 7-9, says co-chair Alvin
McLellan.
"Everything is coming together
quite well," he says. "People are get-
ting into the mood and tickets and
anniversary clothing are starting to
sell."
The 150th anniversary begins
with a talent show at 7:30 p.m. on
the Friday at Grey municipal office
along with a ball tournament and
beer garden at 7 p.m. at Ethel Park.
On Saturday, a parade begins at
noon at Grey Central Public School
with opening ceremonies beginning
at 1:30 p.m. at Ethel Park.

the night of June 22
from a property on

Anyone with related

What's

details.
That afternoon, children's -activi-
ties and a fun fair will be held at
Cornerstone Bible Church, Century
Farm displays and community and
school history displays will be
offered at 2 p.m. at Alexander's
Field and Cornerstone Bible
Church.
McLellan says that if the 140th
anniversary 10 years ago is any
indication, the parade should be
successful.
"We had an hour-long parade and
people lined both sides of the road
last time. It was quite nice that
way," he says.
A fish fry will be held at the Grey
municipal building from 4-7 p.m.
Saturday followed by two dances, a
BX93 Country Video dance at the
Brussels Morris and Grey
Community Centre and a dance fea-
turing Marion's Country Band at
the Ethel Hall.
McLellan says the Ethel Hall
dance is planned for the "older
crowd" and tickets are "moving
quite well" for both dances.
On Sunday, the day begins with a
firemen's/hall board breakfast, - fol-
lowed by a golf tournament at the
Cranbrook Golf Course from 8:30
a.m. to 4 p.m. and a scavenger hunt
at the Ethel Ball Park from 10 a.m.
until noon.
McLellan says both events are
new. The -scavenger hunt will
involve touring Grey and taking
digital pictures of various land-
marks along the way.
The Century Farm and communi-
ty and school history display will
continue on the Sunday.
From 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, old-
fashioned games, such as nail -dri-
ving, crosscut sawing •and three-
legged races will be held at the
Ethel Park.
"They'll be games you'd likely play
at a family reunion," says McLellan.
Sunday night will include a beef
barbecue from 4-7 p.m. at the Grey
municipal building followed by a
community church service and choir
at 7:30 p.m.
The weekend will wrap up with a
fireworks display at dusk at Grey
Central. School.
McLellan says organizers are hop-
ing for a big turnout at the fire-
works.
"The viewing is excellent at the
school. You can park along the road
and see the fireworks," he says.
Organizers are hoping to see a
large number of people returning
home to Grey for the weekend and
residents are volunteering their
homes as temporary Bed and
Breakfasts for the event.
As well, land is being made avail-
able throughout Grey for people to
park their trailers for the weekend.
