WINTER IS ALMOST HERE!
SEASONAL BUSINESSES IN SAUBLE
ADD SOME COLOUR FOR WINTER
BY SARAH ASHLEY-HEWITSON
FOR THE SAUBLE SIGNPOST
It is typical at this time of the year in Sauble, that the seasonal businesses are
boarded up for winter. Take a drive along Main Street these days and you will notice
that some of those boarded up businesses have lightened up, all thanks to the Benjamin
Moore Main Street Matters Paint Campaign.
Benjamin Moore brought their campaign to areas all over North America successfully
in 2013, and again in 2014. The focus of the
campaign was to highlight
how downtowns are an
extension of communities.
Spruce the Bruce worked
with Benjamin Moore
for their own version
of the contest. Several
communities
within
Bruce County entered,
all looking to update
their downtowns with
fresh paint. Lucky for
us, Sauble Beach was
the winner!
The Sauble Beach
Chamber
of
Commerce assisted
on the completion of this project. Once the materials were gathered
and participants enlisted, the boards went up. Not without a lot of hard work of course!
Participating businesses include Beach Burger, The Pavillon, K’s Take Out, and the
former Island Beach Company building at 11 Lakeshore Boulevard North.
These boards have been a big hit so far, many commenting on the photos posted to
the Sauble Beach Facebook page that they can not wait to see the boards in person.
Newly appointed Chamber president
Jamie Hill is thrilled with these
downtown additions, saying “thank you
to everyone who made this possible,
our downtown will be a little brighter
over the winter!”

I would like to thank Past President, Dale Robinson, for her
dedication and commitment to the board and to Sauble Beach.
Without her vision and drive, groups such as the Downtown
Revitalization Committee wouldn’t have been so successful in their
accomplishments. Thank you, Dale, for working so hard to beautify

Adam’s latest venture is Pett’s Pinstriping

able to turn his lifelong
To say Adam is passionate about
everything he pursues would be mild. He
is ambitious, and his drive for success
is not to be measured in one single role
or profession, but in many and all. His
vision, no doubt, is endless.
Now you can say you have had a glimpse
into the persona that makes up the one
and only Adam Pettengill.
Family owned for almost 40 years.
Adam highlights his other influencers
- world-renowned custom paint and
airbrush artist Vince Goodeve, owner of
Goodeve’s Studio in Owen Sound and
Port Elgin’s Chad Clayton, tattoo artist
and owner of Inkternal. Both have played
vital roles for Pettengill – lending advice
and support to his work, as well as being
true genuine friends and knowing when to
stop talking shop and just hang out. It is all
of these

Adam’s love for his artistic style is

interest – cars.
ago, thousands of people were employed
as sign painters. They had to actually
go through apprenticeships to become
certified. Many were quick to jump ship in
the early ‘80s with the introduction of the
vinyl plotter, a machine that could digitally
cut out any letter of any font in any colour
or pattern. The quality wasn’t nearly as
good but the cost was much less.”

paint and sign work. Everything from
signs for your business, family home,
cottage, or farm to pin-striping on your

feeling to it and doesn’t look as flat or
boring as vinyl does.”

this project because it was as much a
huge undertaking for me as it was for my
dad. I have almost 175 hours into the

Pettengill’s most recognized work is the
new paint job on his father’s car.
Adam thanks his family for supporting
his decisions. “I have to say without my
mother and father being behind me 100%
while I kept chasing this dream – a dream
that didn’t seem possible at times – I
wouldn’t have pushed so hard to make
it work. Without my dad starting me off
in the classic car scene when I was so
young and helping me with every project
since, none of this would have come to
fruition. I owe that man everything for
teaching me so much and having the
patience to do it.” Adam is quick to add
another special someone to that list: “and
of course Melissa who puts up with all my
crazy ideas!”
qualities in those he looks up to, as well
as himself, that bring Adam’s personality
to the forefront in his work - he is his
work, and his work is him.

Owners Doug and Joan Wilson of Sauble are pretty proud of their girl!
Her gentle, eager-to-please personality makes her a joy to have around.
She loves retrieving a ball and playing with the grandchildren.
She is a “velcro” poodle, happiest when her owners are in sight.
Dixie is a one-year-old standard poodle about 22 inches tall and
weighing in at about 40 pounds.
