A Note to the Community from the Huron Historical Society and Bicentennial Committee In just a few weeks the Huron Historical Society will be installing a time capsule commemorating our community’s bicentennial. It is intended to be opened on Huron’s 300th birthday. This time capsule will be placed in the circular area in front of the Boat Basin building under a large granite slab engraved with our bicentennial logo. Plans for an October dedication will be announced soon.

What is needed is input from all the community. The big question: What items would tell a story about life in Huron today for those opening the capsule in 100 years? The items must fit in a beautifully crafted 12-inch by 12 inch by 18 inch stainless steel box. Now is the time for Huron’s civic organiza-
tions, churches, city, township and business and are about to receive our message of hope. groups to offer suggestions and items for “Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorthe box.

Wine of the Week Barefoot $6.49 750 mL Reg. $8.49
from the Lake Football Program members, who were affected by the devastation by a tornado that tore through the Millbury community on June 5. The tornado destroyed the community’s school and killed seven people. When the Lake Local School District Flyers’ football teams came to Kalahari field for a scrimmage Aug. 13, the Huron athletic boosters, the football program and the basketball program all chipped in to provide relief.
Thank you for the generous gift to our football program. The $1,000 gift – presented to us after our recent scrimmage – is appreciated. We know the money could have been put toward your own program. Thank you for helping teach your kids, as well as ours, lessons beyond the field. Each Friday, we will cheer on the Flyers and the Tigers. Thank you, Lake football program
Huron River Boat Access receives Tree Donation The Huron River Boat Access property was the recipient of four spruce trees earlier this summer. The trees were donated by Mr. Todd Anderson of Plantation Motel and Anderson Realty. Todd and his son, Kurt, dug up the approximately 3 to 4 foot trees on their property, donated them and assisted Chris Basting, Hu-
ron Parks Maintenance Manager, with the planting of them on the Boat Ramp property. “All of the donations we receive are greatly appreciated, however, for Todd and Kurt to come and help us re-plant the trees was extremely helpful and meaningful,” stated Basting. This type of volunteer work goes above and beyond, he continued. Anderson donated the trees as a way of showing his appreciation for the Boat Ramp facility. The combination of the location of the property and the design of the ramp made for a perfect fit stated Anderson. He is delighted to be able to offer the patrons of his motel closer launching options at no charge. The Anderson tree donation will live on for many Todd Anderson and his son, Kurt, assist the Hu- years and will be enjoyed ron Parks Department in planting the trees they by others as they visit the donated to the new Huron River Boat Ramp.
