125th committee plans for calendars
FROM BLYTH
Blyth area buys
$350 in Eggs
Thanks to the generosity of Blyth
and area residents, the Easter Seals
campaign has an extra $350 for equip-
ment, research and summer camps.
When Leela Sharma, the Easter
Seals Society representative for
Huron County approached the Blyth
Lions club seeking support, it was
quickly decided that a local business
should oversee the selling of paper
Easter eggs as a fundraiser.
Scrimgeour's Food Town and Blyth
Decorating both took up the chal-
lenge..
"They,Were totally awesome," said
Sharma, of the effort put forth by area
residents and the two businesses.
Brent Scrimgeotir appreciated the
support from the store staff, with•each
purchasing at least one egg.
The campaign also got support from
other businesses which responded to
Scrimgeour's staff challenge.
With Blyth's 125th anniversary
just over a year away, the organizing
committee for the celebration has
begun to plan events.
One of the initial fundraisers for
the anniversary will be a commemo-
rative calendar featuring old photos
of the village, produced on parch-
ment paper,
A meeting will be held at the
Legion May 1 at 8 p.m. at which
time community members are invit-
ed to bring old photographs so selec-
tions can be made.
The committee learned that the
cost would be $3,500 to produce
1,000 calendars. There will be week-
ly prizes and two large awards. Sold
for $20 each, the net profit from the
$20,000 gross profit will depend on
the cash prizes awarded. All pro-
ceeds will go to the arena.
It was agreed to proceed with the
calendars so they are available for
sale by Aug. I.
Talks were held with regards to a
fireworks display which would cost
$2,500 for 15 minutes plus $1,000
for two people from the company to
oversee the event. An alternative
would be to have firefighters
involved.
Illusionists hired would look after
their own advertising and arrange-
ments with $2 of the $10 admission
fee going to the committee.
Phil 'Black is looking after the
parade.
Bev Blair reported on photo con-
test preparations. Local photogra-
phers may be asked to act as judges
and donate prizes. The deadline for
submissions from amateur photogra-
phers would be July I, 2002. Each
entrant could submit up to five pho-
tos, of local subjects, in colour or
black and white prints.
Discussions are in the works for a
tractor pull.
The Blyth and District Fire
Department will consider hosting
breakfasts Saturday and Sunday
morning.
The Blyth Legion will provide a
meal for the Sunday night.
A commemorative book, similar to
Clinton's 125th will be compiled.
Families and businesses are asked to
submit histories.
The public school will be used for
a craft show and sale.
A Saturday evening dance is
planned with admission part of the
registration fee.
A garden tour, for a $10 fee, may
be incorporated into the weekend
events.
Several children's events are being
considered including clowns, bal-
loons, decorated bikes, parade,
stagecoach rides, kid's tractor pull
and a magician.
Other suggestions for events
included a spinners and weavers dis-
play, street dance, dunk tank, auc-
tion, bed races, classic car show,
quilt demonstration, time capsule
and old time baseball game.
