AUCTION TRIBUTE TO LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER Denis Woolley, long-time Main Street business owner, died in February. His daughters are organizing a Clearance Auction Sale of the inventory from Den's Country Corner Antiques & Collectibles for Aug. 31. Denis is shown here with his late wife, Coralee, on the occasion of their 40th wedding anniversary celebrations enjoyed at The Red Pump a few years back. (Submitted photo) The streetscape on Main was changed forever in February when long time business owner Denis Woolley died at the age of 75 from cancer. Woolley purchased the Gardiner House building in the year 2000 and moved his antique business into the back of the house, prior to that he had a store in the Charles Street Shops. A couple seasons later his daughters opened Inspirations in the front portion of the building. In recent months his children have had the difficult task of sorting through the inventory accumulated for Den's Country Corner Antiques & Collectibles and have decided that they will host a Clearance Auction Sale on Aug. 31 to sell the remaining items. They will then close the business — but Inspirations will remain open. "Our father retired from the banking business and decided to dedicate himself full time to his antique store. He ended up working longer hours in retirement because antiques were his passion," said Karen Woolley Andrews. "He was a hard worker. He just couldn't sit and relax," agreed Patty Burger. "But at the end of a hard days work his favorite place to be was his deck at the cottage where he could watch a Bayfield sunset." The sisters felt that an auction would be a fitting way to celebrate Woolley's life as he spent many happy hours at auctions collecting items for the business. A portion of the day's proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society in honor of both their father and mother, Coralee, who both succumbed to the disease. The couple was married for more than 45 years. Medley Auctions, of Milton, ON will be presiding over the auction. The company specializes in quality antiques, collections and estates.

The parade made its way along Main and John Streets at the stroke of 11 o'clock and at its end folks were encouraged to follow along to Agriculture Park for the 157th Bayfield Fall Fair. The Parade Marshalls this year were Helen and Dave Bieman. The couple was the driving force behind the parade for many years. The Municipality of Bluewater and the Bayfield Lions Club were the parade sponsors. Three bands performed for the crowds as they walked along the route nicely spaced between vintage vehicles and tractors, campground and community floats. The Stratford Police Band, Clinton Legion Pipe Band and the Seaforth and District All Girls Marching Band kept many a foot a tapping as they marched by. The Shriner's presence always adds flair to the festivities and they did not disappoint with representation from the Mocha Motor Corps, Bluewater Shrine Club Fire Brigade, Mocha Temple Road Runners, and the Mocha Jeepsters Unit. Once again a crew of two, wheelbarrow in tow, was left at the "Tail End" to clean up after the horses — adding a bit of small town humor to the parade for visitors. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek351ssue2l6/tabid/628/Default.aspx 9/16 5/31/2019 Week 35 Issue 216 B.J.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER The 157th Bayfield Fall Fair was officially opened on Friday evening with a tree being dedicated in memory of Emma Vander Wouden, long-time fair secretary who died in the fall of 2011. Doug Yeo, president of the Bayfield Agricultural Society read the following at the ceremony, "Today we, who are gathered, dedicate this Red Maple in memory of Emma VanderWouden to symbolize the strength of the Bayfield Agricultural Society, to be a red (Emma's favorite color) beacon of warmth and welcoming as people enter this park, and to provide shade and comfort for those who use Agricultural Park. May this tree remind us of Emma's strength, warmth, and comforting nature every time we walk by." Ted Vander Wouden, Emma's husband, responded with thanks on behalf of his family. The following individuals spoke at the opening ceremonies: MPP Lisa Thompson, Bill Dowson, mayor of the Municipality of Bluewater; Dave Jewitt, deputy mayor of the Municipality of Central Huron; Ron McKay, district representative for the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies; and representative for MP Ben Lobb. The theme "Beans are Supreme in 2013" was depicted through many special classes this year and displays of many different types of beans were supplied by the Hensall District Cooperative. "Saturday's miniature horse show had one of the largest classes for the judge that she had ever had to deal with. The light horses had 17 competitors," said Yeo. "The crowds were steady all day Saturday with perfect weather to watch the 4-H shows, the dog agility show, or any of the exhibits." cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek351ssue2l6/tabid/628/Default.aspx 12/16 5/31/2019 eamw- Week 35 Issue 216 Kathleen Siertsema, of Bayfield, took first prize for hand quilting from whole cloth this lovely creation.
