equipment for the asking price.
Anderson she felt council and the
community got the best “bang for its
buck” with the tender recommended
to council for approval.
There were other tenders,
Anderson said, that used a rubber
mat for the floor of the playground
that would make the equipment fully
accessible, but that the mat would
cost over half of the initial price,
leading to far less equipment.
With the accepted tender,
Anderson said, the company would
use compacted wood fibres for the
base of the equipment, making it
fully accessible, but at a fraction of
the cost of a rubber mat.
The motion was approved to allow
the purchase of the equipment for an
amount that is not to exceed
$41,000.

Elvis tribute opens at playhouse
Slip on those “Blue Suede Shoes”
and take a wonderful walk down
memory lane with Blue Suede
Shoes: Memories of the King. Come
and relive the hits of the hip-
swivelling, lip-curling King of Rock
’n Roll at the brand new Playhouse
II in Grand Bend, onstage for three
weeks only from Aug. 17 through
Sept. 3.
“Blue Suede Shoes is a unique
theatrical tribute to one of the
greatest entertainers of all time, and
it’s a show that all ages will enjoy,”
says Artistic Director Alex
Mustakas.
Theatregoers will be delighted as
this nostalgic production explodes
with one chart-topping tune after
another. Get ready to hear a jukebox
of hits from the ’50s including
“Love Me Tender,” “Hound Dog,”
Suspicious Minds,” “Heartbreak
Hotel,” “Viva Las Vegas,” “In the
Ghetto,” and more.
World-renowned Elvis
impersonator Roy LeBlanc takes to
the stage as the American icon who
transformed popular music. LeBlanc
has many titles under his belt,
including “The World’s Finest Elvis
Impersonator” from the annual Elvis
Extravaganza in Las Vegas and
Grand Champion of the world’s
largest annual Elvis contest in
Collingwood, Ontario.
From humble beginnings to Vegas
triumphs, Elvis embodied the
freedom, excitement and turbulence
of his era. LeBlanc personifies the
legend, entertaining the audience
with his memorable music in a
production that uniquely balances
nostalgia, modernity and raw
emotion.
“This production is guaranteed to
entertain and enthuse the audience,”
says Mustakas, “The music is
absolutely infectious and
theatregoers can’t help but sing
along and enact their own
impersonations of the King.”
Co-creators Chris McHarge and
Colin Stewart play dual roles as
director and music director.
“McHarge and Stewart have
created a unique theatrical
experience that perfectly
encapsulates the life and times of the
legend that was Elvis Presley. With
this show, audiences are given a
chance to relive a simpler time in
our history, when a young man rose
from small-town life to world-wide
fame,” says Mustakas.
The incredible musical talent of
Dean Harrison, John Kenny and Ted
Peacock provide the non-stop rock
and roll music.

the King plays eight shows a week,
