WWI; Come home to: Belmore in 2005 Belmore is celebrating its 1501b anniversary in 2005. with its first-ever Homecoming. The ttumll'lunity has quite an interesting history. says event organizer Barry Mulvcy. Looking at historical docâ€" uments and news clippings, he said it's obvious Belman was intended to be a bigger town It's well laid out in a grid of low and roads. At one point it had three hotels. But there was no river to provide power for running mills. and the railway never went through Belmore. What the community lacks in size it makes up for in heart. evidenced by events such as the annual maple syrup festival. , . . Mulvey said Homecoming 2005 is an ambitious en- deavour for a small community. Volunteers have stepped forward to help. and more ~ a good many more - will lw, needed as the event draws closer. Homecoming festivities kick 00' on Feb. 18. at the an» nual meeting of the. Chamber of Commerce There'll be a dinner and dance. with music by Crippled Ducks. Thc Beard Growing registration will take place that evening The main festivities will take place Wednesday. June 15. to Sunday. June 19. The anu-ial opening is on the Wednesday, with a V3.11- ety concert and local dignitaries. On Thursday there'll be ball games. Kyle Wright. who's organizing the sports side of the festivities, said a. special feature on the Thursdny will be the Under 19 Australian national champions. Chris Wright, who has played on the Canadian championship Elmira team. will play on Friday. Saturday is the big day with a parade. ball hockey tournament, heel barbecue and a dance to Eddie and the Edsels on the arena floor. On Sunday. a special event is Bridal Fashions from the Past. put on by the UCW and W5. plus a chicken barbe- cue and closing ceremonies.

He in- vites anyone who‘d like to help out to check the Home- coming website at tvwaelmoreZOOSxa and contact any committee member listed. People ufall ages are welâ€" come. including young people. “We need everybody.“ said Mulvey. So far. about 150 volunteers are involved - pretty good for a community with a population of about
