PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4. 1976, WHITBY FREE PESS Brok1in Bylines Where were you, when the thunder boomed and the lightening struck in the early hours of Saturday morning..... the very early hours I might add. Unlike most of us, who were tucked up in our warm, dry and cosy beds, the Guides and Brownies ot~the Brooklin area were roughing it under canvas at Heber Down Conservation Area! Nearly 100 girls and their leaders had planned a camp out for last weekend and as luck would have it that was the weekend that the heavens decided to open. Unfortunately some of sleeping bags and tents were too wet to dry out before the second night and the girls had to break camp on the Saturdày evening. But you've got to give them credit for riding out that storm.....better them than me, that's for sure!! Let's hope the weather is kinder this weekend and that we all have a really good day at the Fair. Remember, the parade starts at 10:30 a.m. this year, but the route is the same as last year.....assembling on Vipond and then along Price on to Way; along Baldwin and Cassels East and then along Simcoe and into Memorial Park. Please note, if you are entering the parade then be there before 10 a.m. because judging will be at .10 a.m. sharp. And exhibits in the arena should be in place between 4 and 6 p.m. on Fri- day the 6th. The Fair will be officially opened at 1:30 p.m. by Mr. Robert Timbers Chairman of the Local World Ploughing Match, and Miss Brooklin Spring Fair. And after a very full day, save some energy for the dance at the Arena in the evening. Tickets can still be had by calling Mrs. Margaret Andrews at 655-3196 after 6 p.m. Oldtime and modern music will be provided-by disc jockey Earl Brown, and there will be refreshments, bar privileges, and door prizes.....and for $5 a couple. The dance starts at 9 p.m. and finishes at I a.m. Hope that you are fully recovered on Sunday, June 8 to attend the Annual Decoration Service held by the members of the Beethoven Lodge, I.O.F. It starts at 3:00 p.m. (not as usual 2:30 p.m.) and all members and general public are invited to attend. Every dog has his day, so the saying goes. And certainly the dogs around this area can have their day on Sunday 15th, June, down at the Ontario Humane Society's shelter on Thickson Road. It doesn't matter what his size or his background, your dog could win one of the many prizes and ribbons that have been donated by local business men. The first Annual Mutt Show is open to ail dogs that have a 1975 licence and rabies tag.....that is the only stipulation.... and to all children 12 years and under. Adults may assist the children if necessary. This could be a lot of fun and your child and his dog could both really enjoy themselves. And if you want to help support the youngsters of the Garrard Road Minor Lacrosse Association and also have a good night out, then call Jean Phillips, 655-3271, and get your tickets for the next dance that the association are holding on June 14th, at the Ajax Community Centre. Tickets are $6 a couple and. include a buffet supper. June 8 ls the 50th anniversary of the UCW Union, to be held at Brooklin United Church; 11 a.m. service open to all members past and present with a lunch served immediately after the service. Well I guess that we have come to the end of another column. Hope I haven't missed out YOUR local event. Don't forget to call 655-3750 and let's all share whatever it is that YOU are doing. See you at the Fair.
