The Citizen 519-523-4792 or 519-887-9114 The Wingham Town Hall Theatre committee is off to a good start with its fundraising campaign, according to a report provided by committee member Doug Kuyvenhoven. At a North Huron Township Council meeting last month, Kuyvenhoven reported that the committee has been hard at work. “We have been meeting faithfully and working and applying for grants,” he said. “We’re trying to get all the possible grant money we can before we move into any more fundraising.” Kuyvenhoven said that the restoration of the theatre will happen in several phases. The first is dealing with fire code compliance issues which includes fire doors and sprinklers, followed by heating and air conditioning. The last item is a projector. “We want to look at putting in a projector and screen to be used for presentations,” he said. “We want to show movies.” The quality of the movie theatre, however, was something that Kuyvenhoven addressed. He said that the equipment would not be what you would find in traditional movie theatres. “We made a visit to a [Minto theatre] which is actually making money,” he said. “They have a $60,000 projector, a full screen and sound equipment. It’s different than what we’re trying to accomplish. We don’t think we could do that in the space we’re working with. The focus for us is a performance theatre for music and drama but the projector could be there for other uses.” He said that the history of the space as a performance site is important. Kuyvenhoven said that donations had already started coming infor the project, with $24,000 already committed. There are blank panels in the performance space which the committee has decided to use to recognize the groups that make major donations. One wall will feature groups that have donated $10,000 or more, of which there are already two. Another wall will feature donors of between $5,000 and $9,999, while smaller donations will have a designated space at the back of the theatre. The total cost of the project, however, is still unknown as the only prices that have started to come in are the fire code upgrades which were the cause for the space originally being shut down. Council felt they could not afford the major investment needed to keep the theatre, then known as the Wingham Heritage Theatre, open. Kuyvenhoven said that the group will start the next phase of its fundraising campaign focusing on businesses and, finally, moving into fundraising projects and seeking donations from individuals. Theatre restoration set in several phases Continued from page 9 could keep thinking about was how great it is to be in Huron County and everything that the county has to offer, so I just started writing about that,” she said. Tersptra said that she was enticed to join the princess competition because it offers a unique experience. “The Princess competition is a good opportunity to speak in front of people and get experience doing that,” she said. “The interviews are also a good chance to get experience for job interviews and the entire thing is a great opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.” As Princess, Terpstra will be called on to be part of parades and, in two years she will be eligible to judge the competition. Next year, she will be the emcee for the Princess competition where she will pass the crown on to the next Princess. She said that, after realizing how much fun and how great the Princess competition is, she plans on getting involved with the Queen of the Furrow competition as well. “It looks really fun,” she said. “It looks like it might be the same as the Princess competition, but the addition of ploughing might be difficult. I’m definitely thinking about taking part in it.” Terpstra said she couldn’t have gotten ready for the competition without the help of her mother Barb. She also said that the outgoing Princess Natalie Fear, with whom she goes to church, was able to answer some questions about the competition and about what being Princess meant. She said that, if she could, she would do the same for other competitors and encourage them to participate. “The competition really isn’t that scary once you are up there,” she said. “Just be yourself and have fun.” Terpstra, who spoke first in the speech competition, was against Jenna Thompson of Dungannon who spoke about her equestrian and horse rescue experiences, Hailey Grummett of Dungannon who spoke about growing up in the city and moving to Huron County, Tori Cutting of Dungannon who spoke about equestrian barrel racing and Luanne McGregor of Kippen who spoke about local hunger and starvation problems as well as the Huron County Food Bank.
