Blyth Artisan Market approved to open May 31
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
The Blyth Artisan Market has been
approved for operation by North
Huron Township Council.
The market, a Blyth Business
Improvement Area (BIA) initiative,
received approval to temporarily
operate in the alley west of
Memorial Hall until its permanent
home behind 437 Dinsley Street
becomes available.
The market, which will bring in
vendors for various items including
food and locally -made specialty
items, was partially made possible
by funds from the Regional Tourism
Organization 4's (RTO4)
DestinationBLYTH workshop
program.
While the organization had
originally requested a temporary
location Dinsley Street between the
alley and Queen Street, closing the
street, and the expenses associated
with it, made the idea untenable.
Council, during its May 22
meeting, also waived the licensing
fee for the organization and
associated vendors.

A good weekend
The Blyth Legion Ladies Auxiliary wrapped up its annual penny sale over the weekend. With
all the visitors from out of town making Blyth their home for the Barn Dance Campout and
Jamboree, the weekend is the perfect time to offer the fun shopping experience. Above, Val

Convicted and condemned, with the rope around his neck!
(Charles Spurgeon)
"Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him."
Romans 4:7-8
Too many think lightly of sin --and therefore think lightly of the Saviour.
He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned, with the rope
around his neck --is the man...
to weep for joy when he is pardoned,
to hate the evil which has been forgiven him, and
to live to the honour of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.
If Christ has died for me --then I cannot trifle with the sin which killed my best
Friend!
Look to the cross, and hate your sin --for sin nailed your Well -Beloved to the tree!
"A bleeding Saviour I have viewed --and now I hate my sin!"
I feel that, if I could live a thousand lives, I would like to live them all for Christ;
and I would even then feel that they were all too little a return for His great love to
me!

Newson explained, staff were under
the impression that the market was
already exempt.
However when reviewing the
wording of the licensing bylaw,
Newson discovered it may not have
been clear.
Newson explained that the
ambiguity in the licensing bylaw, as
far as the BIA is concerned, is
unclear. The bylaw is in place to
level the playing field between tax-
paying businesses in permanent
locations and those utilizing portable
business models. It also allows
North Huron a measure of control
over what kind of portable
businesses can be operated within
the municipality.
"Ideally, staff would like to be
directed to come back with clarity on
the licensing bylaw," she said.
While council did approve the
request, councillors did have some
concerns with the new location.
Councillor Brock Vodden
suggested that either space, the
proposed temporary home in the
alleyway or the permanent location
behind 437 Queen Street, would be
difficult to attract patrons to;
however, Newson said that, running
during the Blyth Festival season, the
music of buskers and accompanying
din of the market would ideally draw
theatregoers to it. She also said the
market's organizers were
considering signage to overcome the
off -the -beaten -path locations.
Councillor Bill Knott asked if
North Huron's Emergency Services
Director/Fire Chief Marty Bedard
had been contacted about closing the
alley and any complications that
may cause.
Newson said he hadn't, but would
make sure that communication
between North Huron staff, the
market's organizers and the fire
department did occur.
Provided all goes according to
plan, the first market of the season
will be held on May 31 in the alley
just west of Memorial Hall from
3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The market is set to run the same
time every Thursday until Sept. 13
as well as July 8 and 15, Aug. 12 and
19 from noon to 5 p.m.
