Festival promises fun Continued from page 1 a pancake breakfast at the fire hall. The whole event is going to be expensive to finance initially, Mr. Elliott said. He suggested the parade would cost at least $2,000. Band cost a minimum of $800 and groups like the Mocha Temple Shrine unit require a donation. The one note of caution on the evening involved the participation rate of local businesses. Looking at the limited turnout of local busi­ nesses represented at the meeting Don Scrimgeour warned it was necessary to get everyone involved. “We have to make sure we have the support of business,” he said. “We need at least 75 per cent of businesses or we’re hitting our heads against the wall. We as a business community had better be prepared to be a driving force in the Festival,” he said. Committees were set up to begin planning the event. John Elliott is chairman; Jane Gardner, secre­ tary; Jim Wilson, treasurer; Don Scrimgeour, chairman of the ser- E CLASSIFIEDADS^ f PAYOFF! i vice club’s committee; Betty Battye, school committee; Diane Wasson, Church Committee and Dave Williams, parade committee and “Gong Show” committee.
