Bird draw
Well-known TV celebrity, Jim
Reed, will host an exciting fund-
raising event in Blyth. Over 100
renowned Canadian artists have
each created an exclusive miniature
piece of art, primarily in a 3" x 3"
format. Each person attending the
gala evening sponsored by the
Blyth Centre for the Arts on Nov. 6
will get to choose their own
favourite as their name is drawn
from the hat.
Mr. Reed is perhaps most
recognized from his 18-year tenure
as host of the popular CBC series,
W5. A longtime resident of the
Lucknow and Dungannon areas, he
is currently a freelance
communications consultant and a
respected member of the board of
directors of the Blyth Centre for the
Arts.
"We couldn't have asked for a
CKNX
writer
gets gold
CKNX broadcaster, Kevin
Stewart, was presented with the
gold award by the Canadian Farm
Writers' Federation (C.F.W.F.) for
his story on CKNX AM 920,
"Farmers Divided over Stable
Funding." The news feature
covered the topic of funding farm
organizations.
The gold award, also known as
the "Tom Leach Award", is
presented to the radio reporter for
the best Canadian produced single
news story of less than five minutes
in length on an agricultural topic
intended primarily to inform
commercial-scale farmers. This
award is sponsored by the Alberta
Wheat Pool.
Mr. Stewart produced the
national award-winning story while
he was the assistant farm director
for CKNX Radio AM 920 which is
owned and operated by Blackburn
Radio Inc. Mr. Stewart, who now
works for the Baton Broadcasting
System, was also awarded the
silver award for television news.
This is not the first time that Mr.
Stewart has earned awards from the
CFWF. In 1991, he won the silver
award for CKNX Radio.
The CFWF award night was held
in Guelph on Saturday, Oct. 16.
better host for this event," says
Development Co-ordinator Lynda
Lentz. "Jim's gentle wit and
comfortable patter will guarantee
an entertaining and suspense-filled
evening for everyone."
Ticket holders for the event will
have ample opportunity to admire
the collected artworks, now on
display in the Bainton Gallery
attached to the Blyth Memorial
Hall. Starting with over 100 to
choose from in every medium, the
most difficult decision will be
narrowing it down to your
particular favourites, Ms Lentz
says. Then, every few minutes
during the evening a name will be
drawn, entitling that individual to
first choice of the remaining pieces
on display. Every holder of a $93
ticket will go home with a unique
piece of Canadian art, framed or
mounted and ready for display.
Easing the suspense between the
draws is a continuous stream of
tempting hors d'oeuvres and
mouth-watering gourmet delights.
Smoked salmon, shrimp, cheese,
pates, pork and beef tenderloins,
figs with Camembert filling, dates
with ginger filling... The menu
seems endless, with house
specialties donated by several of
the finest restaurants in the county.
