Hardtimes theme for centre event Two of the area's most prominent commodities — water and corn — will play an important part in an up- coming family entertainment program being staged in connection with the South Huron Recreation centre cam- paign. , A "hardtimes" corn festival and watermelon feast will be staged at Riverview Park next Friday — August 26 — with plenty of entertainment for everyone, The evening program will include canoe races and canoe jousting. Residents who remember the fun that the latter program generated during centennial will cer- tainly be on hand. There's even going to be a bathtub race. This will be open to any homemade craft other than a boat. The ca,noe races are also open to anyone and entry forms are contained in an advertisement in this issue. Families can plan to have their supper at the park, The Exeter Kinsmen will be serving up piping hot buttered corn and in addition they'll have hot dogs and hamburgs on their grill. For dessert, some plump, ripe watermelons will be available. Organizers suggest you wear your old overalls and bib and let the butter and watermelon juice run down your chin so you can really savor the flavor. An added highlight will be a corn husking contest. Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw and his council members will be challenging some other area councils and dignitaries so the top corn huskers in South Huron can claim their just rewards. 1'o top off the whole night, the popular local dance band "Country" featuring Dwayne Tinney and Cliff MckDonald will be providing dance music in the park The "hardtimes" theme is being carried throughout the program. Everything is going to cost two bits, a popular price of the past but long since gone from the local scene. Entrance to the park will be 25e corn is availabe for another 25c and the dancers will pay 25 to escort their favorite lady to the dance floor. The event will be a type of kick-off for the town- wide door-to-door canvass which is scheduled to start August 30.
