A peek from the Town Crier files – Wednesday, September 27, 1995 – The Sacred Heart Parish Bazaar marked its 40th anniversary. It was interesting to note that the two persons pictured, Lorraine Brandt and Tom Weber, had worked the entire 40 year period at the Ham Booth! The Bazaar was started by Father Wm. Nolan in 1954 (one year there wasn’t a Bazaar held). That first year saw the Ham Booth having 24 winners. In 1995 there were two Ham Booths and each had 60 wins. The first committee to run that booth was Tom’s dad Leo J. Weber, Lorraine Brandt, Teresa Schnurr, Dorothy Schmalz and Tom. – Town Crier photo

A peek from the Town Crier files – September 26, 1975 – Fair events at this year’s Mildmay Fall Fair are seen here just as the afternoon began …. rain, however, sent patrons running for cover on numerous occasions during the afternoon.

A peek from the Town Crier files – August 27, 1965 – Mr. C.A. Warren of Burlington, Ontario (left) came to Mildmay to regrind and rematch the local club’s curling stones. This is quite an art and there are few men left who regrind curling stones. Mr. Warren had nearly a hundred to do here in Mildmay. The time to do one rock varies as to its condition, but it can take from 15 minutes to 1½ hours to do one stone. Mr. Warren told the Crier that some of the rocks here were different by a pound. Pictured along with the Burlington man is Elmer Perschbacher who is chairman of the Property Committee of the local Club.
