The Saturday breakfast, was served to a record 360 patrons, and our thanks as always to the usual sus- pects in the kitchen, the plate wash, and out on the auditorium fl oor. The Branch attended the fair parade with two full colour parties, and their turnout did Branch 197 proud. President Wes was, however, a little dis- appointed to see so few members willing to show up and march with the colours. Our thanks as always to Tyler Transport for provid- ing the shuttle bus service for our members and Fall Fair patrons. The Saturday afternoon BBQ team put in a full shift, and then some. Entertainment Chairman Marcel Poirier doing prep work for the BBQ now knows how many onions it takes to make you cry. The Saturday afternoon entertainment was moved to the games room, and we enjoyed the one man band talent of Jim Mulicow, a 34 year (still serving) member of the Canadian Airforce stationed at Base Borden. We still have a couple of days of Legion Week left; might be the time to introduce those friends you have been threatening to bring down to the Branch.
