Gretzky sweater draw, Sat.
The second early bird bonus
drawing of the Blyth Bulldogs
WIN! WIN! Sweepstakes will be
held this Saturday at 9 a.m. in the
Village of Blyth Municipal Offices.
The prize is an authentic,
autographed Wayne Gretzky
hockey sweater, valued at up to
$1,200.
Authentic Wayne Gretzky
merchandise is increasingly
difficult to obtain and organizers
are excited to have the autographed
sweater. They look forward to
Saturday’s draw.
“Some ticket buyers are only
interested in winning the Gretzky
sweater - and those who haven’t
bought tickets yet, still have time”,
said Todd MacDonald.
As of Monday, 1,200 tickets had
been sold. Only 1,500 are available.
Net proceeds from the WIN! WIN!
Sweepstakes will establish the
Blyth and District Community
Centre Capital Fund. The fund is to
begin preparing for the inevitable
capital improvements that will be
necessary at the arena in the near
future.
The grand prize drawing will be
held Christmas Eve day for a
loaded 2000 Chevy Z71 extended
cab pickup with a suggested retail
price of $44,270. The winner
chooses the colour.

A familiar name from Blyth Fes
tival has pulled together an A-list
of performers to help out his home
town.
Director Paul Thompson, a grad
uate of Listowel District Secondary
School contacted North Perth
Mayor Vincent Judge shortly after
the disastrous downtown fire in
Listowel Nov. 16 to ask what he
might do to help.
Thompson said while he was
wondering what to do, he began
receiving calls from other actors
who had been saying the same
thing. “We’ve got to do something
for Listowel.”
A gala benefit has been planned
for Dec. 17 at the Listowel Agricul
tural Society. Among the perform
ers, dubbed the “firefighters from
the arts” is playwright/actor Ted
Johns, well-known stage and televi
sion actor David Fox, one of Cana
da’s foremost actresses, Anne
Anglin, who is married to Thomp
son, actors Jack Nicholson and Eric
Coates (both familiar names at
Blyth Festival), and popular enter
tainer Don Harron.
Ticket prices are $15 with all
proceeds going to help those dis
placed by the fire.
