The official ceremony, to help kick off this festive weekend is scheduled to take place in Wingham at Cruickshank Park, Saturday, August 20 at 9:00 am. "This is one official ceremony that you won't want to miss" said Marg Beard, Sportsfest '88 publicity chairman. "The committee has designed it in such a way that the ceremony directly reflects the in- tent of Sportsfest - to have fun and par- ticipate. Instead of cutting a ribbon, plat- form guest will help to kick off the weekend event by demonstrating the first actions of familiar sporting activities. However, the equipment used may be somewhat out of the ordinary!" Invited delegates include Murray Car- diff, Huron -Bruce MP; Jack Riddell, Huron MPP; Melanie McLaughlin, Ministry of Culture and Recreation; Jack Kopas, Mayor of Wingham; represen- tatives from Royal Homes, Western Foun- dry, Wingham Business Association, Carl- ing O'Keefe - Sportsfest '88 sponsors; Mike Dunlop, President, Lake Huron Zone Recreation Association; and Phil Beard, Sportsfest '88 Chairman. After the honourable delegates have set the tone for the weekend's festivities, a canoe -portage race, a scheduled Sport- sfest event Will take place down the main street of Wingham. Residents and visitors will want to find front row seats to view this event! "This particular event will demonstrate that that sporting and leisure activities do not always have to be organized or design- ed in the traditional manner. After all, how many of us have seen people canoe out of water!" said Beard. This same philosophy is reflected in all of the 25 events offered at Sportsfest '88. Each sporting and leisurely activity is organized in such a way that they en- courage people of all ages and interests to participate for the fun and fellowship rather than solely for the victory. Registration forms and information con- cerning dances, accommodation, special demonstrations, and other weekend at- tractions can be obtained from your local municipal or recreation office or by con- tacting Joelle Reavie, Wingham Recrea- tion Department, 357-1208. crea- tion D 4lititttlf mae a DIFFERENCE A4 Terry Stanley, Adam Skillen and Rob Crich each added single hits.
