Two Bayfield women would like to remind everyone
preparing for holiday gatherings that their tradition of
collecting empties for Alzheimer's Disease is
continuing this year.
Dianne Brandon and Carrie Sabourin will be
participating in the Huron County 2015 Walk for
Memories on Jan. 31. The duo are now collecting
donations for the cause.
It is, of course, hoped that everyone will celebrate
responsibly this festive season and when doing so
plan to donate the empty beer bottles and cans; wine
and liquor bottles to their team, "For the Love of
Elane and Doris". One of the ladies being honored is
currently living with Alzheimers, Elane Brandon,
Sabourin's grandmother. Unfortunately, Doris
Schilbe, Dianne's mother died on Aug. 4 at the age of
80.
Empties of all sorts may be dropped off at Brandon's
Hardware in Bayfield, or picked up anytime, just call
Brandon's Hardware at 519 565-2677 or 519 565-
2545. Empties may also be dropped off at Bayfield
Convenience in their names.
LETTERS TO SANTA
Bayfield residents will be pleased to know that Santa
Claus will once again be receiving mail in his special
mailbox but at a new location — Bayfield Foodland.
Santa's elves delight in hearing from area youngsters
and learning what is on their wish lists every year. Be
sure to include a return address so that the children
can be sure of a note in return from the jolly old elf
himself.
The ice is now in the Bayfield Arena and some new

A steady crowd came through the doors of the
Bayfield Village Inn on Dec. 7 for the ninth annual

The Sonke family of Goderich enjoyed some quality time with Santa at the Optimist sponsored breakfast.
Daughters Morgan, Kaylin and Oliva were very festively attired for the meet and greet and invited Mom, Karri
and Dad, Chris to join them in a photo opportunity
Hank Hessel-Heard was ready to devour some bacon and eggs after a visit with Santa. He atienaed the event
with his Mom Tara Hessel, Dad Andy Heard and big brother Hudson.
The club greatly appreciates those businesses
that sponsor the family friendly function including:
Bayfield Foodland, Fairholme Dairy, Bayfield
Village Inn, Dianne Brandon Photography,
Brandon's Hardware and Albert Schilbe.
In addition to a hearty meal, several children took
advantage of the opportunity to spend a little time
with the jolly old elf, himself. Santa was delighted
to greet them all and happy to hand out the bags
of treats that the Optimist Club generously
supplied.
Lots of people waited around to see whose name
Santa would draw for a toy chest of toys with the
winner being a nearly two year-old little girl from
Toronto. (Scroll back up to the top of this issue to
learn more.)
It is reported that once again with this year's mild
weather Santa had no difficulty making it back to
his workshop following the event.
Aidhan Kleuskens wanted to ensure that Santa clearly
understands what is on his wish list this year. He brought
a copy of the Sears Wish Book to use as a guide during
his meet and greet.
Alexande Curtis, of Bayfield, could hardly contain his
excitement at taking part in Santa's breakfast.
