Hot Dog Stand to Community Centre . . a dream that grew and grew ' will be fully realized Wednesday night. Two years age the newly -form- ed Chamber Af Commerce opened a Community Park in Brodhag- en. Little did they realize that within a few . ghort months they would be building a hall on the land at a cost in excess of $20,000. Following the official opening of the Park on August 7, 1958, mem- bers of the Chamber decided more facilities were needed at the grounds. At a meeting they de- cided to "dream up" some ideas for a hot dog stand. The mem- bers came up with several kleas and presented them ata later meeting. When the meeting was over the idea of a community hall was born. Wednesday night a gala even- ing's entertainment will form part of the occasion marking the open- ing of the building. Floyd A. Lash- ley, director of • Agricultural and Horticultural Societies in Ontario, will cut the ribbon to open the building. A chicken barbecue will be serv- ed on the grounds to start the eve- ning, followed by a program and official opening. Games and danc- ing will round out the entertain- ment. During the evening a draw will take place on a 1960 car and cash prizes. Cost of materials in the hew building was $20,000, says Russell Sholdice, secretary of the Cham- ber. "The labor was all gratis." Asked about present indebted- ness, he said ,$8,000 was still ow- ing on the materials.
