Come Home to the Country plans come together with more community support By Jason Middleton Expositor Staff Come Home to the Country is moseying along as plans come together for the three-day festival scheduled for the Civic Holiday in July 2005. Event coordinator Maureen Agar said the committee s making more plans and more community groups are coming aboard. We have an exciting lineup that the Come Home to the Country committee is working on, said Agar, in an e-mail. One event, which Agar describes as whimsical, will be an attempt to break or create a Guinness World Record by holding the largest community picnic. It takes about eight weeks for the Guinness Book of Records to approve the idea, so hopefully before Christmas we will know the rules we will need to follow and if Seaforth has a chance in creating or making a record, said Agar, who has already contacted Guinness World Records. Seaforth is already known as a friendly, family town and a great community, so this is a way we could flaunt it to the world, said Agar. On the Sunday of the Come Home to Country festival, checkered pieces of cloth will be handed out and participants will will go outside with family and friends to enjoy a wonderful picnic. Events planned for the weekend include a flea market, tours and Sunday brunch at the Van Egmond house and a golf tournament in the works at the Seaforth Gold and Country Club.

Saturday, will be set up at the Legion along with a Friday night dance, tours of the museum and a Sunday brunch. A ball tournament is being organized which will be held at the Optimist Park, Lion s Park and Winthrop Park. We have a craft show being organized and hopefully it will be in the public school, said Agar. We are planning on BBQs to be held over the weekend and we 11 have a summer carnival scheduled for the Agriplcx and a hot air balloon will be giving rides over Seaforth during the weekend, she said. Agar describes Saturday evening event as a tremendous dance featuring Eddie and the Edscls sponsored by the arena board and the Optimists. Because our volunteer Kase for many committees is getting older or smaller, • IRWIN PHY many of our service groups are working together, said Agar. The Business Improvement Area will be holding their Moonlight Madness event of the Friday evening of the festival weekend. Other ideas being tossed around are a Sunday parade and Victoria Park bluesfest. In July, Huron East council proclaimed the week of July 25 to Aug. 2, Come Home to the Country week in Huron East. The Seaforth Community Development Trust granted the festival $20,000 in seed money to help promote and organize the festival. There is still room for groups or committees to come up with some ideas for the weekend, said Agar. Every idea is a good idea and welcome, said Agar. We are going to have fun, fun, fun on July 29, 30 and 31 next year.
