The Blue Jays will be playing host to the Detroit Tigers this weekend and with the co-operation of the weatherman, the Jays should reach the one million mark in attendance by Sunday afternoon. The Tigers will be at CNE Stadium Friday night at 7:30; Saturday afternoon at 2:15 p.m. and Sunday afternoon for a doubleheader. It begins at 1:30 p.m. Sunday's games will bring the Blue Jays home date total to 38. The average to date has been slightly over 24,- 000, but we would hazard a guess that the season high of about 43,000 fans will be broken in all three times out with the Tigers this weekend. Mark Fidrych is expected to get the pitching call from manager Ralph Houk, Right now it looks like Saturday. but any delay in the rotation would guarantee The Bird tO be in action Sunday afternoon. Upcoming events Within the next couple of weeks most of the area's out- standing events will be staged and one new one will be tried out. Saturday, July 23 all roads will lead to police village of Granton for the seventh annual Granton Fun Days.

The baby show with four divisions will be held in the early afternoon.

This year the Dashwo6d volunteer fire department has taken over sponsorship of the event with the assistance of a lot of volunteers. One of the features of Friedsburg Days in the past has been the Saturday afternoon parade and this year should be no exception. The theme will be Festivals of the World.
