VISITORS TO MARKET TEMPTED BY
SUMMER HARVEST DELIGHTS
Fresh strawberries and whipped cream served on a biscuit with a side of strawberry lemonade
— sound yummy, doesn't it? Well, about 150 people would probably agree as that is the
estimate on how many people indulged in this taste of summer at the Grand Opening of the
Bayfield Farmers' Market on June 27.
The proceeds from this fundraiser were for market operations. Bayfield Berry Farm provided
the strawberries. Smokey Hollow Farm the biscuits and juice. Organizers greatly appreciate the
generosity of the new Bayfield Foodland for donating the whipping cream.
The Bayfield Farmers' Market runs until Thanksgiving on Friday afternoons from 3-6 p.m. in
Clan Gregor Square with the exception of this Friday, July 4 when it moves to the lawn of the
Bayfield Town Hall to accommodate Vettefest.
VETTEFEST
The 8th annual Bayfield Vettefest will begin on July
4th with a Summer Night Cruise from Clan Gregor
Square starting at 7 p.m. Once gathered, the corvette
enthusiasts will head out on a little road trip together.
Please note that the Bayfield Farmers' Market will be
moved for this week only to the lawn behind the
Bayfield Town Hall to make way for the corvettes.
The market runs Fridays from 3-6 p.m.
On July 5th Clan Gregor Square will be filled with
both old and new corvettes vintages ranging from
1954 to 2014. Last year's show drew over 250 cars
with goodie bags being handed out to the first 200
vehicle's registered. Registration for the car show will
begin at 8 a.m. in the park. The cost is $10 per
vehicle. Those who take part are invited to park their
cars for display in the square.
FIRST FRIDAY'S ART
WALK
Another First Friday's Art Walk weekend has arrived
and this time organizers are pleased to report there
will be more musical acts joining the artists displaying
their work.

the Bayfield Farmers' Market. (Photos by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
The Bayfield Farmers' Market's first season was officially opened on the afternoon of June 27 with a ribbon
cutting. Honored with the task was Mayor of Bluewater Bill Dowson. Bayfield Ward Councilor Geordie Palmer,
Councilor -at -large, Tyler Hessel and Stanley West Ward Councilor, George Irvin provided encouragement while
Joan Brady, market manager and Brian Wiley of Firmly Rooted Farm held tight to the "ribbon".
The idea behind this Bayfield and Area Chamber of
Commerce initiative is that people can enjoy an
evening of art by walking the Main Street as artists
showcase their work in a number of locations. Each
artist will have their own exhibition and will be
available to talk to and explain their art. Snacks and
refreshments will be served as well.
Organizers note that attendees should be on the
lookout for white balloon markers to denote the First
Friday exhibits.
AT THE GALLERIES...
The next First Friday's Artist Walk will coincide with
the launch of a new exhibit of original work by artist
Carolyn Hurd, of Zurich. On the evening of July 4,
"The Beauty of Bayfield" will showcase Hurd's
amazing ability to capture Bayfield scenes and
architecture with the stroke of a brush.
The event will be held at JMR Gallery starting at 6
p.m. Refreshments will be served and the artist will
be in attendance.
Limited Edition prints of several of the images will
also be available as well as a second series of "The
Black Dog" giclee print.
The firefighters in our village will be up bright and
early on July 5th to prepare for their annual
Firemen's Breakfast that will have people lining up for
the 7 a.m. start of food service at the Bayfield Fire
Hall.
And who wouldn't line up for pancakes with real
maple syrup, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, toast
and juice, plus let's not forget the Tim Horton's
coffee, generously donated by the Tim Horton's of
Exeter.
The cost for the breakfast is adults, $7; and children,
$4. The event will conclude at 11 a.m.
GRAND OPENING
David Loerchner is giving new life to the old
Captain's Cove building on Hwy. 21. Located at the
south edge of the village, Loerchner will open the
new home for his business DL Creations on July 5.
The store's grand opening will run from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. and 104.9 The Beach radio will be broadcasting
live on location from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
In keeping with Loerchner's business of creating
custom woodworking pieces, there will be several
wood themed demonstrations including hand carving
as well as timber framing combined with chainsaw
carving.

It is also noted on their website that each summer between the end of June and the beginning
of September, brigantines can be found visiting ports around the Great Lakes. While the
vessels are commanded by Transport Canada -licensed Captains, the crew is comprised of
seasoned teenagers who have two to five -years experience sailing with TBI. Trainees join the
ships for seven to 14 day training courses and are assigned to one of three rotating watches,
operating the ships on a 24-hour schedule. Trainees learn the basics of sail handling,
seamanship, teamwork and leadership from the crew while experiencing the thrills and
challenges of living and working aboard a tall ship.
TBI recently announced that two berths were available on the next leg of their journey from
Bayfield to Penetanguishine (July 13-19) so a contest has been organized and two youth can
win their spots by writing an essay entitled, "Why I would like to take a trip on a tall ship." The
contest is being organized through 104.9 The Beach radio and judging will be conducted by the
event organizing committee and Bayfield Optimist Club members.
It should be noted that all acceptable small

BAYFIELD HISTORICAL SOCIETY
This weaving loom is looking for a loving Bayfield home to welcome it into the family. The
Chapmans on Louisa street inherited it a few years ago from its first owner, the late Greta Du
Boulay.
The logo on the loom provides a bit of insight into it's history. It was probably made some time between 1944-
48 in ('Islet, Quebec by Nilus Leclerc Inc.
PHOTOS BY RALPH LAVIOLETTE AND
STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -
POUNDER
Greta and Philip Du Boulay retired to Bayfield in
1967. Married for more than 60 years, the couple
is remembered for their contributions to both their
church family (Trinity Anglican) and community.
Greta died in the spring of 2002 while her
husband followed in 2006 in his 102nd year.
For many deceased former Bayfield residents that
is probably where the story would end. But it is
not so for the Du Boulays as they left behind a
treasure — Greta's weaving loom.
The Chapman family, of Louisa Street, inherited
the loom from Greta but they can no longer care
for it and an offer to donate it to the Bayfield
Historical Society's Archives is not feasible due to
its large size. It is not for sale but a loving family
who will use it and keep it in Bayfield is now being
sought. Local quilting and weaving groups have
been contacted to see if there is an interest.
According to Bayfield Archivist, Ralph Laviolette,
the loom is in perfect working order.
Nina Manners, of Camilla Valley Farm Weavers
Supply, of Orangeville, said, "The loom is what
Leclerc originally called their "Series M Rigid
Loom" which was later called the "Mira" loom.
Based on the logo and the mechanism, the loom
was probably made some time between 1944 and
1948 in I'Islet, Quebec by Nilus Leclerc Inc. The
company is one of the oldest in Canada and is still
making a variant of this loom called the Mira IL"
Olga Palmer, whose parents, the Youmatoffs,
were neighbors to the Du Boulays recalls with
fondness Greta working on the loom.
"My memories of the loom are vague but I do
remember never seeing the loom with the same
thing in it, it was always in use, carefully cared for,
and not still until she left for Goderich (seniors'
home).
" I also remember the hours she would sit weaving
everything from tiny placemats to large elaborate
hangings and drapes. Once when I was here with

my parents, and my twins, Kate and Judy took her

twenty years ago, has now been returned to her.
"I am getting a new band, will engrave my name on the back and won't be wearing it around the lake again. The person who
