Christmas voucher campaign
cause for rejoicing at Festival
Excellent sales from the
Christmas voucher campaign are
cause for rejoicing at the Blyth
Festival this year. "It's extra
applause for Janet Amos' terrific
last season," said Blyth's new
Artistic Director Anne Chislett.
"It's a response to the terrific
savings we offered," says General
Manager Karen Stewart.
"It was Karen's design for the
bright red brochure," says Box
Office Manager Fran Cook.
"It's because of the timely
announcement of the 24th season,"
says Festival Board President Keith
Roulston.
Or, as one theatre-goer wrote_ on
her voucher brochure, perhaps it's
because, "Blyth Festival is relevant,
refreshing and makes one feel good
and/or think. It brings theatre to
some who wouldn't experience it
usually and it's affordable."
Whatever the reason, voucher
sales have soared close to 50 per
cent above sales figures for the
same period last year, and spirits at
the Festival are at an all-time high.
Especially encouraging is the fact
that those voucher buyers who elect
to see all four plays by purchasing
an Adventure Pack have doubled in
number. •
As the Christmas sales figures
have traditionally been an accurate
reflection of audience interest, the
1998 season is off to a great start.
The brochure will be out with the
crocus and the box office opens
when the first daffodils bloom.
Money-saving Festival vouchers
are available until Opening Night
(June 26). Vouchers can be
exchanged for tickets when the Box
Office opens April 6 to members
and April 20 to the general public.
For a brochure or more informa-
tion, call (519) 523-9300.
Doon plans
seedy event
Feb. 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Doon is hosting its third annual
"Seedy Saturday". This event, held
at the Curatorial Centre, is a
celebration of the Canadian
gardening heritage emphasizing the
history of seeds and the importance
of heritage seeds in maintaining a
diverse gene pool in modern
horticulture.
"Seedy Saturday" brings to a
close Doon Heritage Crossroad's
celebration of Heritage Week.
A community seed exchange
table will be set up where local
gardeners can swap their favourite
heirloom seeds with those brought
in by other _gardeners. Local seed
distributors plan to attend bringing
with them a range of "Heritage"
and other specialty seed. Expect to
discover many unique or hard to
find seeds.
Gardening workshops will be
held throughout the day by local
experts, including members of the
Kitchener Master Gardeners
Association. Displays of old seed
catalogues and seed packages will
also be featured on this day.
Admission is $2 per person,
payable at the door.
Dolan Heritage Crossroads is a
non-profit living history museum
owned and operated by the
Regional Municipality of Waterloo.
Swingers
celebrate
Burns
The Huron-Bruce Swingers are
up and at it again in the New Year
starting the winter session on Jan. 8
and following that with a Hat Night
on Jan. 14. Ribbons, flowers and
feathers from the 60s and 70s came
out of the closet for that night.
On Jan. 21, the Swingers
celebrated Robbie Burns Night
wearing the traditional plaids,
eating Scottish scones and
swinging and California twirling to
the music of the pipes played by
Archie Purdon clad in his kilt.
The Swingers would like to
invite all to their specials dances
coming up. On Thursday, March
12, they will celebrate St. Patrick's
Day with their caller Neva
McVittie. The annual Spring Dance
will be on Saturday, April 18 with
guest caller, Charlie McClure. All
the Swinger dances are held at
Brookside School which is located
south of Lucknow.
Thirty-six diners were in
attendance when Brussels Dining
for Seniors met on Jan. 22 at the
Brussels United Church. Leah
Vollrath, co-ordinator welcomed all
present.
Ruth Sauve led in singing grace.
Those present celebrating
birthdays were served candlelit
dessert while others sang Happy
Birthday. Those honoured were:
Levi Carter, Jan. 22; Leona
Armstrong, Jan. 24; Bob Topham
and Edna Evers, Jan. 27 and Jessie
Clark, Jan. 28.
Door prize winner was Norma
Toulouse and 50/50 draw winner
was Dini Nethery.
Co-ordinator, Joan vanderMeer
led all in a wilderness survival
worksheet which was completed
individually and as several small
groups. It was obvious by the
number of incorrect answers, most
would not survive 24 hours in the
wilderness.
The next meeting will be held
Thursday, Feb. 12. The theme will
be Valentines. Entertainment will
be a heart quiz and a skit performed
by Ruth Sauve and Nelva Scott.
Anyone wishing to share a
special Valentine gift, card, or story
is encouraged to bring it along.
