who is interested in having a
supply ,of organically grown
vegetables. Through the cost of a
garden share, members share the
expense of seeds, equipment and
gardener's wages. The idea of the
community garden is spreading
quickly with new gardens being
formed across the country. Valerie
Bolton says "It is not only about
supporting local agriculture, but
about gaining a sense of
community spirit that comes from
working and having fun together."

Community Garden may call Bob

Community fun-raiser
set for April Fool's Day
On Saturday, April 3, at 8 p.m.
the Blyth Centre for the Arts'
"Festival of Entertainment" series
presents Canadian humourist,
singer, songwriter Nancy White.
Best know for her satirical songs on
CBC radio, White has been called
Canada's voice of liberal guilt. As
well as numerous tours across
Canada, Nancy's career has taken
her to the U.S., Germany and
Central America.
Her latest recording
"Momnipotent" is a collection of
13 songs, mainly about the effect
two daughters have on what White
claims was "once a fairly normal
life." The cassette, subtitled,
"Songs for Weary Parents" is not a
children's album; it hits right at the
core of the full-time parent's
exhausting, befuddling, hilarious
condition. White takes aim at
parenthood and weaves into her
hilarious presentation a host of
current events and a satirical
appreciation for life and love in the
True North Strong and Free.
One month too early for Mother's
Day — and maybe just as well,
Nancy White at Blyth Memorial
Hall promises to be a laughable
excursion into the babyfood-
encrusted underworld of
parenthood.
Tickets are $16.50 each, all taxes
included, and are available by
calling the Blyth Festival Box
Office at 523-9300.
The Huron Community Garden is
holding a Squaredance Hoedown
and contemporary country auction
on Friday, Mar. 19 at the Goderich
Arena (upstairs). Christine
Sutherland, organizer of the event,
has arranged for Bill Russell, a
nationally known square dance
caller to host the square dance.
"Bill will put everyone in a great
mood" says Christine "you needn't
have any experience with square
dancing, as Bill will take time to
teach everyone the steps. It's not
about being perfect, it is simply
about having a good time."
Also taking part is one of
Canada's finest country musicians,
Kirk Elliott of Toronto, who is
internationally known for his great
fiddle music. Kirk, tours as a
regular musician with Sharon, Lois
and Bram and has his own band

On Saturday, April 3 at 2 p.m.,
the Blyth Festival of Entertainment
Children's Series presents The Rag
and Bone Puppet Theatre's "A
Promise is a Promise."
An exciting story written by
Robert Munsch and Michael
Kusugak, the play centres around
the exploits of Allashua who goes
fishing on the sea ice against her
parents' warning, and is captured
by the Quallupilluit troll people.
The Rag and Bone Puppet
Theatre combines vivid puppets
and sets with the dramatic music of
Nathan Curry.
Children's Series tickets are $7,
all taxes included, and are available

Kirk and McGoo. With two albums
of his original music, Kirk is best
known for his song "The Bobby
Orr Breakaway".
The music begins at 7:30
featuring a young fiddle group and
there will be some playful activities
for the children, including bobbing
for apples, a fish pond and face
painting. People are encouraged to
"lug-a-mug" and their own juice
and potluck hor d'oeuvres. There
will be coffee and apple cider and
pieces of the homemade pies after
they have been judged. The
Hoedown will be a "no booze
event".
The Huron Community Garden is
located south of Goderich at the
farm of Bev and Bob Budd. Going
into its fourth season, the garden

The Blyth and District
Community `Fun-Raisers' are
about to find out just how valuable
your nose is.
On Thursday, April 1
(appropriately April Fool's Day),
they are having a special day called
Red-Nose Day.
"The idea," says project co-
ordinator Karen Stewart, "was
given to us by Englishman Jon
Oram, director and co-writer of the
Blyth and District Community Play
Many Hands."
"In England even the Members
of Parliament join in the fun and
wear their red-noses, while trying
to hold successful debates," Jon
chuckled.
To participate in Red-Nose Day
all you need is a red nose and a
pledge sheet. (A bit of nerve and a
desire to have fun also help). Noses
and pledge sheets are available at
the Play Office (in the new link of
Blyth Memorial Hall), and prizes
will be given for the most valuable
adult nose and child's nose. To
qualify you must wear your red
