They organized a great parade to mark the occasion, which featured cars and tractors, old and new, and of course, handsome horses in teams. The theme for this year's fair at both Zurich and Exeter Fairs is "Focus on Horses". The Grand Bend Women's Insti- tute won first prize for the Huron South Women's Institute Display Competition at the Zurich Fair. There will be another display_com- petition for all local WI's at the Ex- eter Fair later this, summer. Their blue-ribbon entry is now on display at the Grand Bend Public Library. The group of seven articles were all dedicated to the theme about horses. Ruth Hendrick, con- tributed a quilted cushion, 011ie Mlller sent a quilted picture; Norma Walper decorated a horseshoe; Bren- da Love created some Christmas or- naments;. Laura Desjardine made a stuffed toy, and Donna Ruth Lovie created an arrangement of silk flow- ers and bells, plus a bag of trail mix for hiking snacks. Congratula- tions ladies! The children particularly enjoyed the animals on display in the sheds outside - every colour of rooster_or. rabbit imaginable, plus baby goats (kids), piglets, and a few unhappy pets. The last shed contained several varieties of sheep - white faced, black faced, curly wool and curly horned, but they all suffered from the heat in their wooly coats. Itwas stifling hot for everyone; fur coated or bare skinned, so the cold drinks were flowing, but everyone still had a great time!

Church By Roberta Walker Catholic News Immaculate Heart of Mary- Church aryChurch was honored with a visit from the leader of the London Dio- cese, Bishop John Sherlock, who celebrated the 9 a.m. Mass there. The chLrch choir, directed by Do- lores Tighe, performed at the 9 a.m. Mass. A summer resident from the Kitchener area, Tom Denomme, is providing a Folk Mass with guitar music for the • Saturday evening Masses all summer. . • Rose Vanbruaene was the reader at the 11 a.m. Mass, joined by her husband Jerry to serve as Eucharis- tic Ministers for Communion. Sol- oist Roberta Walker sang "Pass It On' and "Just As I Am". Father Paul Beck's sermon was taken from the gospel tale of services in Grand Bend Marthz and Mary. We worry and fret about many things like Mar- tha, and fill our lives with triviali- ties. Choose the better part, as Mary did and proclaim God's Word. A new CWL bulletin board is to •be installed at the back of the church for CWL news and notices, like the flower list and bake sales. United Church GRAND BEND - The seats were filled at the fourth Outdoor Service at Grand Bend United Church. Pas- tor Colin Stover entitled his ser- mon "What's Eating You?" with scripture readings from Kings 4 and Luke 10. Stover used a hypo- thetical tale to make his point; the story of a woman who invites her ,castor for dinner. She envisions he deep discussions they will have on various important matters, but is frustrated to find herself stuck in the kitchen over a fussy meal in- stead. In the Bible Story, Martha was the. Good Hostess, while Mary listened to Jesus, a channel of His grace. Special music was provided by Brenda Blasdon and Trudi Bornath, award winning music students from SHDHS in Exeter. Their fire number was a Sonata by Bach, a duet for flute and harpsichord, called "Siciliano". In the second piece, Trudi performed "Love In Any Language" using signs for the deaf as she sang, accompanied by Brenda at the harpsichord. A beau - .i ful performance. Next week Sue Anne Schroeder, Dashwood, will :e guest soloist. The congregation :Banks Muriel Carson of Grand .love Estates for her assistance in leading the hymns.
