During the early hours of the morning last Wednesday, during the Cash for Splash Sit a-thon, Seaforth's
Harry DenHaan kept the sitters awake with his 'pie insurance' fundraiser, which in this case,
Seaforth's Tony Arts chose not to pay for costing DenHaan the $10 donation to the pool. (See page 28

In a presentation to Huron
East council 1-ast week,
Seaforth Golf and Country
Club general manager
Carolanne Doig and golf
course employee Maureen
Agar spelled out their plans
for bringing the Canadian
Professional Golf Tour to
Seaforth in the summer of
2008.
"Seaforth, has long been a
golfing community," Doig
told councillors. "And the
Canadian Tour is always
looking for new courses to
play," she added.
Doig explained that over
recent years the Seaforth
Golf and Country Club has
gone through several
upgrades that have made it
a much more appealing
venue.
"Our golf course has
evolved into an 18 -hole
course, with recent
modifications that have
increased its aesthetics," she
said. •
"It is our intent to host the
event for a minimum of three
years," Doig explained. "It's a
big undertaking and it will
take a large commitment
from everyone."
"We're not asking for any
taxpayer's money, just your.
blessing," she told
councillors.
"We want you to be a
leader is getting everyone
involved."

Some set up living rooms on
Main Street with couches,
Lazy Boy chairs and
televisions.
Others created an outdoor
office with laptops and
phones, even completing
midnight business deals.,
Still others tried to stay
comfortable in lawnchairs
and loungers for the 24 hour
Cash for Splash filled
Seaforth's Main Street with
participants raising close to
15,000 for the Lions Pool.
"It was a small town lazy
person's version of a big city
corporate challenge," said
Tony Arts, who coordinated
the event with Christine
Behnke, "And,' I knew it
would work."
While only 25 per cent of
the 130 businesses and
organizations challenged to
take part actually did, Arts is
hoping the first year's success
will convince others to give it
a try if another sit-a-thon is
plannednext year for, another
cause.
Several local businesses
had participants who took
part for the entire 24 hours or
close to it, with only two hour
shower breaks in the
morning.
Jim McNichol, of Nifty
Korners, spent almost the
whole 24 hours on Main
Street and while he and his
wife Danica were prepared
with a television, games,
books and magazines, they
spent the whole time visiting
with passersby.
