Local talent appears in show
An overwhelming response to a
request for local talent to audition

singers Neil Glen of Chesley,
Harold Smith of Mildmay, Arthur
Warren at St. Mary's, Paulette
Lippert of Point Clark, Laura
Devereaux of Seaforth, Kira
Stuckey of Wingham, Juanita
Arkell of Auburn, Betty Beer of

show
The villagers and farmers at
Doon Heritage Crossroads invite
you to take part in a 1914 Fall Fair
and Antique Power Show on
Sunday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to
4:30 p.m.
Set in the autumn amidst the
blazing colours and cool, crisp air,
fall fairs were an important event to
the rural community. It was the
culmination of a year's worth of
effort - the best of the best was
ready for competition. Musical
entertainment, the penny carnival
and the livestock displays made the
fair a special event for everyone in
the community.
Step back in time and experience
a recreated 1914 Fall Fair and
Antique Power Show at Doon
Heritage Crossroads on Sunday,
Sept. 14. Watch the sheep dog
demonstrations, enjoy their far
exhibits and take in the antique
power show.
Call 748-1914 for entry rules for
competitions in baking, produce
and crafts. Doon will be accepting
entries on Saturday, Sept. 13,
between 1 and 4 p.m. and Sunday,
Sept. 14 between 9 and 10 a.m.

Scott and Aubrey Toll and Cheryl
Cronin. Cronin will accompany her
father on piano as he sings a
stirring rendition of Nobody's
Child. A trio of singers from
Goderich and Clinton, including
Shelley McPhee Haist, Judy
Stewart and Louise Dockstader,
will also perform. Known as The
Miracles because of the gospel
songs they usually sing, this trio
will change their act to country
style and be called The Miracles in
Denim for the purposes of the
show. Beverley Elliott, a
professional actress and singer who
appeared in the Blyth plays Booze
Days and Nothing in the Paper this
year, will perform as a local act
(she's originally from Listowel) on
preview night Aug. 26.
There will also be three different
groups of stepdancers, including
Black Magic (Kennedy Baker and
Melissa Hart of Clinton and
Michelle Bovey and Katie Anne
Vivian of Mitchell), and New
Horizons (Stacey Nicholson,
Kristie Carter and Tracy and
Heather Verhoeve all of Mitchell)
and Family Ties (Julie Moffat and
Stacy and Denise Harris all of
Mitchell).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
DAD
Kevin, Brent &
Heidi
Beer, Kira Stuckey, Arthur Warren,
New Horizons, Family Ties and
two members of Black Magic
(Kennedy Baker and Melissa Hart)
- are veterans from last year's
shows. The rest are new. One of
these, Mary Lou Dixon, will
perform a song her late father wrote
in 1938 called Somebody Else is
Taking My Place. It was recorded
by Bing Crosby and Connie
Francis.
Baker has an interesting
connection the show because her
great-grandfather Archie Mann,
was a fiddle player on the original
Barn Dance show. Her grandfather
Bob Mann of Clinton - Archie's
son - has been chosen to play
fiddle as one of the local acts.
Headlining the local talent on
opening night Aug. 27 will be
another Barn Dance alumnus,
Ernie King.
