A peek from the Town Crier’s Wednesday, June 20, 2001 issue – Congratulations to the Mildmay “Green” Under 14 Boys Soccer team which won the 5th Annual Fergus Soccer Tourney.  This particular tourney was open under OSA rules to “select teams only”.  After several days of lobbying on behalf of the club, Mildmay was granted permission to enter. (Mildmay was a recreational team club which normally would not have been allowed to play… this was based, more or less, on the view that a small club could not compete.) Front (left to right): Rob Eckensweiler, Zack Weber, Colin Grubb,  Eric Bennett, Justin Kreller, Steven Leigh. Middle:  Joe Fortney, Sid Smith.  Back:  Coach Bob Eckensweiler, Marco Barmet, Ben Kupferschmidt, Erik Ruetz, Mat Monro, Sean King, Devin Wells, Gary Schotman, Manager Doug Bennett.

A peek from the Town Crier’s Wednesday, April 13, 2011 issue – This was a typical view of the north side of the Belmore Arena when the tiny community staged its 44th Annual Belmore Maple Syrup Festival on Thursday and Saturday. There was a continuous stream of people seated at tables consuming mounds of homemade pancakes, sausage, applesauce, butter, milk, tea and coffee. Volunteer cooks and servers could be found to the left and entertainment on stage in the east end of the Arena. Craft items could be purchased in the Community Hall and Curling Arena.    – Town Crier photo

A peek from the Town Crier’s Friday, April 16, 1971 issue – The recent Skate-a-thon started well with skaters eager and determined to finish the 24 hour time set by officials. But, the time seemed to go slower as the day wore on and the skaters wore down…  

By the next morning, the skating crowd had dipped down to one lone skater. . . here he is as he made his way down the familiar ice pad. It was figured out that Mike Goetz’ “round-the-clock” skate, if put in miles, worked out to over 125 miles.
