Pioneer sale Almost 30 years ago, Miss Rankin conceived the idea of a rummage sale to help bolster the coffers of the Pioneer Park Association. The first sale was held in the old Town Hall with articles donated by villagers and summer residents as well. Every spring, since then when housecleaning, the people 1 remember the rummage sale (which has become an annual event) and save the articles they have grown out of, grown tired of or in general have no more use for and donate generously to the Pioneer Park rummage From the time Miss Rankin convened the first sale ,in the Town Hall it was an instant success and has become bigger and better every year since. It remained in the Town Hall and in 1962 was first held in the Bayfield arena. That year, Mrs. Doris Hunter was the convener and the whole operation was expanding and the late Hales Dresser suggested to Mrs. Hunter that it might be a good idea to change the location to the arena, which they did. Hales and his brother Willard, gave their services faithfully for mny, many years and carted goods with their truck as part of their contribution to the organization. The late Mrs. Charles Will was convener for many years; Miss Jessie Metcalf for a year; Mrs. Doris Hunter four years; Mrs. Anne Tillman, Mrs. Gregory, Mrs. Peg Willock and Mrs. 011ie Chapman who got the young people involved and the list of dedicated conveners goes on and on. This year, two young women, Mary Ellen Fellows and Kim Gammage are the con- veners. Although they will not be here in the village until the end of June, the contact person is Mrs. Mildred Fellows. Round about the village Mr. and Mrs. Robert Meyer, Michelle and Marsha, of Milverton spent the weekend with her mother, Mrs. Lena Ervine.
