Singers perform
Delivering the message at the
drive-in service for the Fellowship
Bible Chapel last Sunday, July 25,
was Jack Baker of Burlington. He
will be returning this coming week,
Aug. 1. Music ministry on July 25
was offered by a group calling them-
selves, Stand Firm. The Bushell
Quartet from the Kincardine area
will perform on Aug. 1.
Rev. Pat Cook returns from holi-
days this week and the
Londesborough United Church is
invited to worship with Auburn on

held at the grandstand at the east end
of the village.
This is the weekend of Auburn's
150th celebrations and this outdoor
community service will begin at 10
a.m. You might want to bring along
a lawn chair. The rain location is the
Auburn Missionary Church.
The decoration service for Ball's

The newcomers to the village in
the former Ward home have an addi-
tion to their family. Charles Ray
Zehr arrived on Sunday, July 18 at
Clinton Public Hospital.
Congratulations to Jeff, Emma,
Dwayne and Madeline.
Here we are nearing the end of
July. So far the summer has not been
particularly summery and the rain
can take a hiatus for a while. I'm
willing to water those plants myself
for a time in exchange for not having
to cut grass so often. What seemed
like a long stretch of free time to the
students has been halved and already
older teens are getting ready to move
on with their education/lives.
Camps of every kind will have
been experienced by many youth by
summer's end. They offer a variety
of experiences. Day camps and resi-
dential camps offer everything from
Scouting to computers, religion to
sports. They give a young person the
opportunity to delve into an interest
and broaden their knowledge.
Character and confidence building
are also part of the process. In some
cases, career choices result from
these encounters.
Drama and arts seem to have
found a niche in our area, perhaps
because of the proximity to Blyth
and Grand Bend and their summer
programs. The Young Company in
Blyth has been running in conjunc-
tion with the Festival there for many
years now. We attended their
fundraising spaghetti dinner last
week and recognized again that all
too often we don't give young folk
enough credit.
A smaller group this year of about
13, the teens cooked the meal and
waited tables, quite politely and
capably and in addition they offered
musical entertainment. What a great
way to gain experience, in front of
people who were only there to sup-
port.
They will soon be presenting the
production they are creating. Find an
opportunity to attend. Follow-up to
this program finds that an amazing
number of Young company youth go
on to find a career in a related field.
Harry and Gail Lear and Danny
recently attended a performance of
Mama Mia in Toronto. Gail taught
Grade 8 music a few years ago to
Craig Fair of the Wingham/Bluevale
area. His interest in music and drama
was furthered at Sheridan College.
Now he is understudy to one of the
male leads in Mama Mia and per-
forming in the chorus daily.
During the month of July,
Shannon Scott conducted a drama
camp at the Livery in Goderich
called Serious Fun. Her interest in
music and drama and an enjoyment
of sharing that interest with young
folk combined last-weekend with a
presentation on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday of Hansel and Gretel. She
called it a quirky musical take on a
traditional favourite.
In this version, the story ended
happily — apparently the witch had a
very soft heart.
Directed by Shannon, the produc-
tion featured children aged seven to
13. Kelsey Falconer of the
Londesborough area delighted the
audience with her bubbly and happy
portrayal of Gretel. The majority of
the children in the production were
from the Goderich area. Lisa Arnold
of Dance Techniques in Clinton
arranged the choreography. Shannon
was also assisted in the teaching of
dance and drama by Lauren Balser,
Erin Mitchell and Heather Million.
The next session planned for the
Livery is a- two-week workshop of
intensive training to improve singing
skills and confidence. From
Shannon, the participants will learn
a broad range of techniques, includ-
ing-aural, sight singing and perform-
ance skills and will improve voice
control through chorus, duet and
solo work. This camp session will
conclude in late August with a con-
cert to showcase the talents of these
young folk.
Shannon can be contacted for info
at 440-1037.

volunteers put into 'making the Blyth
Festival what it is today.
The Blyth Festival Singers started
celebrations off in the afternoon with
a concert, putting everyone in the
party mood.
A delicious barbecue was
devoured by guests who filled their
plates with everything from beef-on-,
a-bun to various salads. Some guests
enjoyed their meals in the courtyard,
ti while others settled at one of many
tables at the west end of Dinsley
Street.
Proceeds from the barbecue will
go towards the Emergency Services
Training Centre in Blyth.
An enormous, half chocolate and
half vanilla cake, was created by
TaSty Treats To Go in Blyth.
Members of 'the Young Company
showed their support by drawing the
youngsters in with two tables of arts
and crafts. The members helped chil-
dren•create colourful, fun masks that
they could take home as a•reminder
of the special day.
Roaring cheers filled the air as the
Young Company gave guests a sneak
peek at their upcoming play, Tall
Tales, Big Fat Lies and Unbelievable
Truths - The Autobiography of H.C.
Kidd, which runs Aug. 9 - 13 begin-
ning each night at 5 p.m.
The evening couldn't have fin-
ished better as a live taping of Shena
Wilson's The Train to be aired on
CBC's Sunday Showcase, made the
perfect end to a special celebration.
