Unique souvenirs fitting to remember .Colborne
BY MIKE FERGUSON
Some unique souvenirs are going to be of-
fered at Colborne T-iwnship's Sesquicenten-
nial Celebrations this weekend, says. Lorna
Milburn, chairman of the souvenir
committee.
Visitors and local 'residents alike have the
opportunity to purchase Colborne colouring
books, notepaper and a commemorative
plate, indicates Milburn. In addition, a
silent auction of crafts made by local people
will occur on Saturday with bidding to start
on Friday. •
Milburn says the plate, manufactured by
Larry Jeffrey, has a theme decided upon°by
the entire committee. It is called "air, land
and water," with each signifying something
typical about Colborne, she adds.
Milburn explains the airs resented by
a depletion of a Tiger air
aircraft at Sky
Harbour; . the land s ows an agricultural
scene with horse a plow; and water is
displayed by a drawing of the mouth of the
Maitland River and the trestle bridge.
Local talent helped complete the colour-
ing books and notepaper. Rick Milburn and
Mary Slotegraaf created the sketches for
the colouring book, having'previously work-
ed on the Colborne calendar last year. The
notepaper shows 12 different scenes, com-
bining some of Sallow's photographs and
sketches by local artists.
As well, special Sesquicentennial hats, `-
shirts and aprons with the ' Tiger Country or
Jonathan Miller deco Will be available for
the souvenir hunter.
A number of items will be included in the-
silent auction, with the goods going on
display Friday. They will go to the highest
bidder on Saturday evening, after everyone
has placed their price guesses beforehand.
The articles for auction include: a quilt by
the. Tiger Dunlop Women's Institute, a
crocheted tablecloth from Alison Paolin,
four woven placemats by Gerry Zurbrigg,
Towi sh p Tales,
