Letter to the editor
Writer laments East Wawanosh's frugality
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
Another successful season for
the Blyth Festival has come to a
close, but the benefits will continue
on, forall those who participated in
anyway-beitan opportunity to
begin a career to provide first class
entertainment, to have memories
of an evening’s enjoyment, of
developing new friendships, meet
ing former acquaintances, or the
satisfaction of being a patron of a
worthy cause - to mention only a
few.
To be on the patrons' list
requiresonly a small amount ($125
or a membership is only 10) but we
expect few donations are just the
minimum. Why, for yet another
season, is East Wawanosh not on
the list? How many have noticed its
absence over the years and felt a
little embarrassed if they are from
East Wawanosh, and a little smug
if from another township? The
Blyth Festival honours the councils
on “politicians' " night which is
usually the opening evening of the
second play. At least six compli
mentary tickets are given to the
councils - East Wawanosh includ
ed. Do our members accept these
tokens? Oh, yes, they are there to
enjoy both the play and free
refreshments. The Blyth Festival
gives more than it receives.
The Council members who
accept these tickets are only a few
of East Waw anosh beneficiaries of
the Festival. The Blyth Festival has
put our community on the map. A
full page in a recent issue of
MacLean’s Magazine was devoted
to the Blyth Theatre. Several pages
of the June issue of Canadian
Living Magazine covered not only
aspects of the drama itself but also
the unique community spirit be
hind its success. If national
reporters, far removed from Blyth,
are aware of the community
benefits, why are members of our
council closing their eyes to the
assets?
Individuals are given the oppor
tunity to open their homes for bed
and breakfast situations - thus
providing a source of income
without leaving home and an
opportunity to develop new ac
quaintancesandfriendships which
often remain permanent.
Many organizations in the com
munity welcome the chance to put
on country suppers or luncheons as
fund raising events.
Both the Bed and Breakfast and
meal arrangements are made
through the Box Office at the Blyth
Theatre.
Not only are friendships devel
oped and funds raised through
these functions, but a healthy
relationship develops between
some of our city theatre supporters
and the rural Ontario community.
Many of the regular country
supper and Bed and Breakfast
supporters are thoroughly city-
bred but show an intelligent and
genuine interest in rural functions,
rural attitudes and farm economy.
First-hand experiences are the
best teachers of unfamiliar situa
tions. In this day of farm insecurity,
all positive connections with the
city dwellers are important for
rural-urban relations.
How fortunate we, the residents
of Blyth and surrounding town-
ships, are to have the shopping
opportunitiescloseathand that
Blyth provides. How long could the
gift and novelty shops survive if
they depended solely on local
support? Without money coming
in from the visiting theatre goers,
these shops would soon fold and
when someone from the area want
ed that”special little gift’’ she/he
would have to travel elsewhere.
Local restaurants and businesses
gain financially from theatre go
ers.
The Blyth Festival brings a taste
of culture to the relatively isolated
community with noted entertain
ers such as Sylvia Tyson and
Murray McLaughlan as well as the
occasional symphony orchestra,
etc. These latter groups appear
during the winter months.
During the summer months the
children and youth of the area have
the opportunity to participate in
“free” theatre workshops. Some
of the East Wawanosh taxpayers
take advantage of the opportunity.
Also, during the winter months,
children’s performances are avail
able and there are also children's
workshops offered for a minimal
fee.
Those of us, who do participate,
realize the advantages offered by
theBlyth Festival. Wehaveasense
of self-satisfaction in being part of
such a worthwhile endeavour.
We would be proud to see “East
Wawanosh” included with other
municipalities on the Patrons’ List
for all future seasons.
Mystified East Wawanosh
Theatre Supporter.
