Blyth Festival headquarters has
had some work done and it's time to
celebrate, because it's finished. Well,
almost.
On Oct. 20, director of recreation
and facilities for North Huron Pat
Newson and Blyth Festival artistic
director Eric Coates were on hand at
Blyth's Memorial Hall to commit
two new pieces of decor to the
historic theatre.
A plaque containing a document
serving as a record of the Trillium
grant that the project received which
contributed $35,000 to the theatre
will be put up inside the hall. There
will also be a small silver plaque to
be affixed to the exterior of the
building, also from Trillium.

Leisure
School big band
showcase to be
held in Blyth
On Sunday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. there
will be a showcase of some of the
best student musicians in the area.
South Huron Secondary school
from Exeter and Central Huron
Secondary School of Clinton are
each set to take the stage in Blyth to
perform a repertoire of music for the
audience.
And, to close out the show, the
two bands will take to the stage
together.
Event chair and Blyth Festival
board member Joe Wooden of
Grand Bend felt this project would
be a great opportunity for the Blyth
Festival to support area students in
arts and music programmes, an
extension of the Blyth Festival's
mandate. "The Festival is pleased to
give the students a chance to play. in
Blyth Memorial Hall, an auditorium
designed for just such endeavours,"
said Karen Stewart, marketing and
sponsorship manager.
To support this programme and
local student talent, the Festival has
pledged an honorarium to each
school's music program.
Support the students and their
music programs in this first-time
joint concert. General admission
tickets are only $10 each for adults
and $7 for youth. Call the Blyth
Festival Box Office at 1-877-862-
5984.

Major renovations totaling
approximately $210,000 are coming
to a close. These renovations
included a new staircase, new brick
on the exterior, a new generator and
repairs to the washroom, which
experienced water damage. The
washroom repairs are the only work
that remains unfinished as of right
now. Newson said she hopes this
work will be completed within the
next year.
The source of much of the water
damage was the old ramp, which has
now been torn out. Built in the
1970s, the ramp was hardly up to
code with today's standards for a
handicapped ramp. The drainage set
up to run down through a certain part
of the ramp flowed on through some
incorrectly sealed up windows,
allowing the runoff to leak right into
the building. Only after the ramp was
removed was it discovered that this
was the source of the water damage.
A donation of $5,000 was also
given to the project from the Legion
Ladies Auxiliary.
