TD Canada Trust donates $3,500 for Seaforth Summerfest Carnival
Shaun Gregory
Huron Expositor
TD Canada Trust recently
donated $3,500 towards this
year's Seaforth Summerfest
Carnival, which is the most
money to date, however this
generous support did not
emanate effortlessly by any
means.
In 2011, Barb Horne, cus-
tomer service manager at
TD Canada Trust in Sea -
forth took over the reigns
for the Seaforth
Summerfest.
Back then, there were not
many activities or funds
available, nowadays the
event that shuts down the
town's main corridor is
booming with people and
things to do.
Whether it's a magician
showcasing the knack of illu-
sion, children smiling while
enjoying a paddleboat ride
or the fan -favoured 20 -foot
massive rock climbing appa-

It's something to be proud
of, since Horne recalls of

worked off a limited budget.
"It wasn't much money I
tell you," Horne told the
Expositor May 24.
Horne said before the
spearhead role of Sum-
merfest presented itself,
she was simply inquiring
around town to see how
TD could possibly
participate.
Usually several merchants
and businesses provided a
game out front in hopes of
increasing interest in the
downtown core.
Horne was told there
were no patrons willing to
jump to the plate, so after a
thorough conversation with
her manager at TD, an
agreement was made to
move forward and organize
the event.
Mostly running from the
BIA budget, Horne seized
the opportunity to look else-
where to originate funds.
"I realized we could get
sponsorships from organiza-
tions, she said.
Horne has recently
stepped down as an organ-
izer, but said she looks for-
ward to watching it from
afar.
Seaforth Summerfest Car-
nival is slated to commence
July 14.
Seaforth golf course invites all
local women to learn the game
Shaun Gregory
Huron Expositor
For no fee required, the
Seaforth Golf & Country
Club is welcoming all
female golfers to jump
out of their shell and
learn the game that
sometimes can be
intimidating.
In merriment of the
one -day event known as
Women's Golf Day, locals
are invited to participate in
workshops that will be set
up throughout the golf
course.
The all-around aspect of
golf is expected to be
brought to light; this
includes stations led by a
handful of golf pros from
the region for chipping,
putting, driving, and a spe-
cial session specifically
aimed at going over the
rules and etiquette.
"This gives women an
avenue to one, grow the
game, but also learn skills
that will last a lifetime,"
stated professional female
golfer, Robyn Doig from
Seaforth.
Doig said the Seaforth
Golf & Country Club cur-
rently has about 200
members with approxi-
mately 60 of those being
women.
A large portion of
females with member-
ships do not play as much
as they could cited Doig,
she "absolutely" believes
this coincides with the
anxiety of playing a new
sport that comes with an
abundance of rules to
follow.
"They don't want to
go out and play, they
maybe just go to the
range," explained Doig.
"They just feel like, oh
I'm not good enough or
I don't want to hold peo-
ple up."
This event that is cele-
brated in 46 countries will
hopefully change the
stigma revolving around
women and golfing said
Doig May 25.
The official date for
Women's Golf Day is June
6, but Seaforth Golf &
Country Club felt that it
would attract more people
if it was held on the week-
end
eekend rather than a week-
day, so they will be hosting
it Sunday June 4 from 1
p.m. until 4 p.m.
For anyone interested,
May 29 is the last day to
register. Women and girls
of all ages and all skill lev-
els are invited.

522-0985 or email sea-
