The 13th season of the Blyth Festival was opened with a splash Friday night at a celebrity-filled dinner in Blyth Memorial Hall. Guest speakers at the dinner were Harry J. Boyle, St. Augustine native, author, former radio artist and executive and chairman of the Canadian Radio Television Com­ mission and Bill McNeil, co-host of CBC Radio’s Fresh Air and author of the Voice of the Pioneer books. Mr. Boyle, who is honorary mayor of the mythical town of Mariposa, brought greetings from his town. He also reminisced about the early years of the Festival and the spirit the community has toward the theatre and told a lengthy, side-splitting story. Mr. McNeil said his radio show had developed a special bond with the Blyth Festival over the years. He also paid tribute to Mr. Boyle for his work with CBC radio at the time Mr. McNeil himself was breaking into the business. Specially framed copies of the Festival’s 1987 poster were pre­ sented to several of the theatre’s sponsors and special praise was - reserved for Franklin and Cenetta Bainton who earlier, at a cocktail party at their home, had been presented with the “Citizen of the Year’’ award by Sheila Richard of The Citizen’s board of directors. Mr. Bainton, in accepting his poster, recalled that his father and his uncle had served on the fundraising committee for the building of Memorial Hall in 1920 and how much the building was used today thanks to the Festival and other events.
