GRAND BEND .- The Huron Country Playhouse Ladies Guild has announced details of plans for its annual Art Show and Sale. "We're bigger than ever," says Guild representative, Pat Venton. "Because of the increased interest in our show, both from artists and from the public, we've had to move , to larger quarters." The Show will be presented in the future Grand Bend Public Library Building (lo- cated beside the Post Office), mov- ing from the basement of the Vil- lage Office. "We were very fortunate that Bill and Bev Harwood, the owners of the building were willing to donate the space to us. It's a much better place for us. Bigger, and a better facility for the display of paintings and sculptures", said Venton. The Art Show and Sale will be running both Winter Carnival weekends this year, presenting the work of many well-known artists and craftsmen. "Although the main focus is again on local Southwest- ern Ontano artists, we've also ex - paneled in this area," says Venton. PertiCipating artists include Puck Meriden, a well-known local artist and Bill George of Kettle Point, whose native Canadian paintings have been very popular items at the show for the last two years. Tim Clark, Gordon Lambert and Mary Dyak also return for 1991.
