Cake Walk returns for 1986 The Blyth Festival's 1984 block- buster premiere production of Cake- Walk by Colleen Curran will be back in 1986, Artistic Director Katherine Kaszas announced today. Cake- Walk will open in mid-August as the final production of the Blyth Festi- val's 1986 season, and will then goon tour during September and October. Described by reviewers as a "recipe for sheer enjoyment", "sweet entertainment", "pleasing concoction", and "has ingredients for Blyth hit", Cake-Walk was the top seller of the Festival's 1984 season, averaging over 91 per cent capacity! The action takes place in a hotel in a small town, during the annual Canada Day celebrations. Five unlikely contestants are pitted against each ether in the cake-walk competition - and their attempts to win., by fair means or foul, provide the hilariously funny plot. Cake-Walk went on to be produced in 1985 at the Kawartha Summer Festival and was showcas- ed by the Blyth Festival at the Ontario Arts Council's Contact 86 last weekend. Barbara M.

The ceremony honoured long service by firemen from all over the province, and was, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard report, a very impressive event. Mr. Bernard actually started with the fire department in 1959 but officially joined in 1960. He has been chief for the last five years. Thankfully, he says, he has never been at a fire that resulted in a fatality in his quarter century of firefighting. Mrs. Bernard received a pin and the Chief also received a framed certificate. OUR OFFICE IS COMING The Citizen's new office on Brussels' main street will not be open for a few weeks yet. Arrangements have been made to rent an office but we'll be moving into one that is already occupied. The current occupantswill be moving to new quarters so we have to wait for them to get their arrangements there first. In the meantime, we've arranged for people to drop off material at Maitland Insurance to be picked up or it can be mailed to us at our Brussels box #152 or you can call us at 523-4792. Thanks for your patience. APPLICATIONS PLENTIFUL FOR NEW GREY CLERK Grey township council will have plenty of work on its hands in the coming weeks choosing a replacement for Jane Badley who moved to Bradford. Council opened applications on Monday afternoon and more than 20 applications were made. It will be some time before the decision process can be completed. In the meantime, Bill King, retired Brussels clerk, is helping out in Grey. - SEND US YOUR NEWS This is the first of what we hope will be an informative column on the people and events in Brussels.
