Clinton's main street
on Blyth Festival stage
services picked it up, and the photo
of Marg and Phil and dripping chili
appeared in many newspapers
across the county under the
headline Hot Rivalry.
This is the incident that starts the
plot rolling in Keith Roulston's
hilarious satire Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! so
to celebrate opening night, the
Blyth Festival is hosting — you
guessed it — a chili cookoff
feattiring the mayors and reeves of
Hiiron County including Ron
McKay of Clinton, Ben
Hoogenboom of Exeter, Deb
Shewfelt of Goderich, Dave Scott
of Seaforth, Don Carter of
Wingham, Ralph Watson, Brno--.4s
and Mason Bailey of Blyth.
The culinary skills of these
municipal politicians will be
judged by Dusty Hill from CKNX
The public will be provided with
samples so they can vote for The
People's Choice Award.
Chili tasting will take place in the
Blyth Memorial Hall Courtyard
between 6 and 7:30 p.m. on
Thursday, Aug. 6.
And since the aroma is bound to
make everyone hungry, a full chili
dinner including salad roll and a
drink will be offered by the Festival
Cafe for a mere $4 to those lucky
patrons with a ticket for the
premiere performance of Jobs!
Jobs! Jobs!

Once upon a time, there was a
county town named Beauport
which hosted a winter carnival
featuring a chili cookoff. The
contestants were the mayors and
reeves of all the other towns and
townships in that county.
Beauport's mayor, Marg Scott,
always won the cooking contest,
but one amazing year the prize
went to Phil Gainsmore, the newly-
elected mayor of Beauport's
scorned rival town of Winstead. In
a fit of pique, Marg Scott dumped a
whole bowl of chili over Phil's
head.
It made a great picture for the
local papers - so great that the wire

Fest. alum
gets award
A Blyth Festival alumni has gar-
nered a prestigious award for her
work.
Mattea Goldstein, head scenic
artist in Blyth for the 1995 to 1997
seasons, has been honoured with
the Pauline McGibbon Award
which recognizes a member of the
Ontario community theatre in the
early stages of their career who has
displayed a unique talent and
potential for excellence.
In just four years as a scenic
artist, Goldstein has worked on
more than 70 productions for small
and medium theatres and televi-
sion.
Upcin returning to Ontario in
1993 after studying theatre design
in England, Goldstein continued to
learn and develop through the
Ontario College of Art and Design.
Patron's of the Blyth Festival will
remember the wonderful backdrop
of "main street" Seaforth that
graced the set for the 1997
production of Nothing in the Paper
by Dave Scott. This year, the view
from the municipal office in Jobs!
Jobs! Jobs! by Keith Roulston, is
exactly the view you would see if
you looked out the window of the
municipal office in Clinton. Set
designer Victoria Wallace, fresh
from working on a mega-scale for
the Princess of Wales Theatre's
mega-production Needfire, has
created a scaled down, three-
dimensional, finely detailed
perspective of the lovely yellow
brick buildings which line Albert
Street. The other half of the divided
set features one small dining room
of a restaurant housed in a local
mansion, complete with glowing
fire place.
Because Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! takes
a wry look at municipal politics and
finds hearty laughter in a fictional
mayor's efforts to attract big
business, Wallace felt that the
architecture of her set should be
firmly rooted in the local
environment.
Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! opens Aug. 6
and plays to Aug. 29 at the Blyth
Festival. For tickets and
information call The Blyth Festival
