"We didn't realize it was a command perfor- mance in Brandon," he said. Council approved the increase. and praised the community for the work it's done beautifying the town. "I was expecting a lot bigger number with the build-up you were giv- ing us, Bob," said Deputy -Mayor Bernie MacLellan, adding, "I see the way the streets look and they do look nice." Grey Coun. Mark Beaven agreed, congrat- ulating Fisher for the difference in the town's appearance. As the judging week- end nears on Aug. 18 and 19, council was given an itinerary.
