Entertainment Leisure Theatre on the Grand offers winter series This winter, Theatre on the Grand in Fergus is offering a winter series of four live professional theatre pro- ductions. Highlights are a homage to one of the 20th Century's funniest men, Red Skelton, and a musical tribute to country and western leg- ends, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline. Two additional comedies round out the series. There will be a holiday season production of Norm Foster's comedy Ethan Claymore, starring Foster. In the new year, Canadian humorist Nils Ling of CBC fame, performs his hilariously honest, The Truth About Daughters.

I Charitable Registration Number ri 13196 9628 RR0001 There to say hello Blyth Festival held an open house on Saturday as part of the many events taking place for the annual lighting ceremony and home tour weekend. Greeting visitors were, from left: board member John Myers, Box Office Manager Linda Hearn, Artistic Director Anne Chislett and Special Events Co-ordinator Melissa Hanna. (Vicky y Bremner photo) Win a dinner in Festival draw As a not-for-profit organization, the Blyth Festival is constantly searching for new sources of rev- enue to supplement its box office receipts. While the festival does receive grants from various govern- ments and foundations, the days of extensive arts funding are over. Eric Coates, associate artistic director, explains, "Things have changed. More than ever, arts organ- izations are rewarded for innovative marketing initiatives as well as anis-, tic excellence. Our goal is to estab- At the Branch lish ourselves as a leading force on both fronts." The latest marketing initiative is designed to reward the theatre's wrons and industry partners alike. Called the Dinner-a-Month Draw, it is a raffle event with a twist. Winners of the draw will receive a $200 gift certificate to one of 12 area restau- rants. A new winner will be drawn on the first day- of each month until November 2002. All tickets will be entered for each of the 12 draws. The Blyth Festival has contributed $100 towards each prize and the cor- responding restaurant has donated an equal amount.The end result is an excellent marketing partnership for both parties. The restaurants involved represent the finest dining in the area: The Church, The Red Pump, Benmiller Inn & Spa, The Little Inn, The Oakwood Inn, The Riverboat, Eddington's of Exeter, Fireside Cafe, Lakeview Cafe, Bailey's, and Hessenland. Faithfuls show up for euchre By Jo-Ann McDonald It's been quite a week at the Brussels Legion Branch. Men's euchre on Wednssday night has some faithful men showing up every week, hoping a few more will attend. Farmers are getting caught up with the nice weather so maybe open crib this week will see a few new faces. Thursday blind mixed darts had new faces this past week. If you are interested, you can still come out and play. The planned executive meeting last week had to be cancelled due to so many being out with the flu. Friday night's supper of chicken wings had a nice crowd. This week is Surprise Hamburg Goulash. Saturday the famous Legionnaire cooks were at work frying fish and serving up a delicious supper to about 80 fish lovers. Our secret fish batter coats delicious fish fillets that are deep-fried to perfection — but if you missed out you will have to wait until next year now to try them. Several members of the Branch are busy learning hard candy and chocolate making from expert teacher Grace Proctor. Christmas goodies just might be seen around the Christmas draw time. There are two weeks left in the early bird program for paying early membership dues. If you can't get into the Branch, you can drop them in the mail. Just a few dates left for-Christmas parties. If you need a place — call the Branch to inquire.
