Festival promises fun

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-
