Festival 1.aaking for newspaper tomos
The Blyth Festival is'
looking for the silliest,
funniest, most outrageous
newspaper mistakes,
typos, or spelling errors :
you have ever read. Send
'em in and win a prize!
The idea for this contest
comes from the newspaper
comedy, There's Nothing
in the Paper, set to.have its
premiere on the Blyth
stage July 23. Much of
the - humor in this play is
'supplied by Sam (Dick •
Murphy)' and Hank
(Vernon Chapman), .a cou-
ple of hilarious old cronies.
who sit around outside the
Shadowville Examiner•
offices and keep score to
ser how many mistakes
.they can find in their.
weekly newspaper.
The Blyth Festival will
.accept goofs and gaffes
•
•
•
•
from any newspaper -
daily or weekly - until July
31'. A prize for the "best"
one will be announced at
each. intermission during
the five performances of
Paper in July, A draw for a
grand prize will be made
Aug. 1:.
With crazy deadlines
and the thousands of
words that newspapers
staff have to handle on a
regular basis, there are:
bound to be mistakes and
typos (staff are only
human after al•l)..However,
some "slip-ups are funnier
. than oth.ers.. Get proof
reading' and submit your
memorable ones to Box
10, Blyth NOM 1H0; fax
(519) 523-9804;. or drop
off atthe administration
office in Blyth: Include
your name, address and
phone .number. •
