THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1993. PAGE 19. Rutabaga Festival 1993 The host This host of the Rutabaga Festival spent an enjoyable afternoon visiting with all the guests who came out for the annual event. For the first time here will be several forms of entertainment available in the form of musical and traditional family games. Jeannette McNeil, treasurer for the Rutabaga Featival Committee, says that this is aimed at increasing family involvment in the festival During the entire day on Satur- day, the Dixie Ramblers will be roaming the Lions Park and the Fairgrounds. They are travelling minstrels that play Dixieland music. Saturday night, Eddie and the Edsels will play for the evening dance at the arena. The music cov- ers the 50s and 60s. The dance is sponsored by the Lions Club. Two animal events at this years Rutabaga Festival will delight the young and the old. For the first time the Optimists are sponsoring the pony rides. These will be available on Saturday June 26 at the fairgrounds. The other event is Betsy Bingo. This involves the drawing of a grid in a field. Contestants are then asked to purchase one or more squares on the grid. At this point three cattle are released from a truck and allowed to wonder around the grid. The first cow to leave her ''mark" determines the third prize winner. This contin- ues with "anticipation growing" says Ray Salverda, chairperson for the Rutabaga Festival Committee, until the final cow has made her deposit for the first prize. This event, in its second year is sponsored by the Blyth Lions Club and the Huron County 4-H. Festival hosts family games
