Festival auction raises nearly $9000 Brisk bidding brought in be­ tween $8,500and $9,000 for capital improvement projects at the Blyth Festival dinner auction held at Blyth Memorial Hall Saturday night. Brenda Doner, Festival general manager, called the event “won­ derful” adding the Festival hopes tohave an announcement in the very near future on new expansion plans for the Festival. A study has been going on into the Festival’s future requirements over the summer. After a dinner prepared and served by members of the board of directors of the Festival and friends of the Festival, the 160 people moved upstairs to the theatre where the 114 lots to be auctioned (many containing sever­ al items) wereon display before bidding began. Richard Lobb was in charge of the auction, getting a helpful hand along the way from Ontario Agriculture Minister (and former auctioneer) Jack Riddell. Highest price ofthe night was bid for an aerobatics show donated by Terry Air Inc. of Huron Park to be put on any place in Huron County except over a town or village. The unusual item brought $650. Nextwasaprivateboxata Toronto Blue Jays Game with room for eight people bringing a total of $560. Ms. Doner said response from businesses and individuals in donating prizes was very generous with many “big-ticket” items being donated. Bidding itself brought in $8,655 but with dinner and bar sales added, the event would raise between $8,500 and $9,000 after expenses, she said. The event was organized by board member Gail Gundy of Bayfield. ?
