What council and many residents of the village want to see in Grand Bend, is a family oriented weekend, with different things for young people to do, besides drink! Sharen said "we still would like to have Burgerfest and better it or we'll have to choose an alternative." Upon his inquiry if beer could be served here on Sun- days, Scatcherd learned that a special licence would handle the event. Why not open the beer tent afternoon in addi- tion to Friday and Saturday afternoons he asked? Then the tent would be closed down at 5:30 p.m. It was suggested that volleyball tournaments could be scheduled on the beach both afternoons. Chamber secretary, Ellwood Lemon, liked Scatcherd's pro- posals about the daytime beer tent only, adding that the out- side tent area could be ex- panded if needed. Clerk Dianne •Mollard presented everyone in atten- dance with a copy of a letter from businessman Gerry Sanders, Sanders -on -the - Beach dining lounge. In the detailed letter, Sanders stated his objections to the rowdiness resulting from the long beer sale hours in the tent. If the tent is closed at night it Would alleviate the drunkeness and driving late at night. Grenier made a request to council that the village should contribute some 10% of the business tax to help out. Coun- cillor Dennis Snider (absent from this meeting) conveyed in a letter for the meeting, that the village has donated the parking lot to the chamber for this event for the 4 past 10 years. In doing so, all the revenue from parking is forfeited. Chamber member Lloyd Guillet spoke up to suggest a meeting exclusively for Chamber members only to discuss this new proposal as soon as possible. In other business, local government week has been set for January 14-19. Some suggestions were for school students to stage a mock council meeting or elect coun- cil and put on a council meeting.
