Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1969-07-31, Page 5A Now that we have had time to look back on the. excitement of Art Mart and ' everything associated with it, I realize there are many hard workers -- • outside of our own group.- who deserve .a special "thank you!" First oft, as convenor, I want to thank our club members for the wonderful co-operation which really . makes this our most successful year. Now, to ° Roy Meriam and his town work crew, who are the most " obliging people I have met in'•yeal b..ltoy. ready to do that job • • • • • • 0 • Experienced Decorators INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR ' PAINTING AND WALLPAPERING •Reasonable Prices Free Estimates Radius of 15 Miles of 'Goderich W., Pedersen 167 Brock Street Phone 524,6667 After Six James McCreight 86 East Street Phone °524-9287 28tf Round and About With Martha. Noinr -- if not sooner - and we surely appreciate it. To those participants; the people who came from Pear and far with their wares, either paintings or crafts -- and as with Tania - both - we want them to know we appreciate the effort put, forth -- and I hope they are happy they attended. One fine artist, Jack Polland (pronounced Poland) and his wife, came all the way from the 'Toledo, Ohio suburb of _a_ ---.. They have been vacationing in Goderich for several years and , really enjoy our convenient "Trailer Park" and said they are happy to be able, now, to mix business with pleasure: They attend art meets in many districts in the U.S.A. and Canada and tell me ours is one of the finest. Now .isn't that nice? The two ladies from Toronto area - Vicki with oils and lovely velvet paintings and Tania with paintings and her jewels y, also enjoyed Trailer Park and said they would certainly come again. They too, travel to many art exhibits in Ontario and said our Art Mart was one of the best. So -o -o -o that makes us feel ° very good - and we quickly forget all the work it entails. ('til next year.) A young couple in the Forest -Kettle Point area have published a children's book - one of the top sellers - had hoped to have the books for the show - but the publisher did not get them out to them in ' time - itnever fails. This book is written and illustrated by children for children . and is a most amazing book, the kids will' love it!.

I know everyone enjoyed the artistic woodworking of our Clinton friend, John Plumtree. As with all woodworkers, he knows and loves the,fine woods - and he brings out the best in them. We were very happy to have him and I envied the proud couple who carried away his beautiful lamp base, It was • certainly a work of art. The Carlow ladies with their Country Crafts certainly made a good showing. Mrs. John Hallam with her delightful knitted dolls and things -- such patience! Mrs. Roy 'Eason - the>apron lady - knows just the right apron and size -for you. She -has made- hundreds of pretty aprons and just enjoys making a new style. -- weren't -weren't they cute? Many cosy fanciers realized how well made; • as well as unusual, they were and Sales were good • for their desijgner Rita-Hazell- I loved the little harness type - "nap sack with holes" for carrying your baby comfortably. on your back. Confortable for you' - and most important comfortable and safe for your baby - and baby loves it. Mrs. Heintz Hoernig designs and makes these "Baby -Go" things, also beautiful "Wild • Flower Stationery." Did you take • a good looli, at it? I noticed that so many people did not realize that these were real flowers dried and pressed - or pressed, then dried and transferred to thewriting paper. The work was so well done it seemed to be part of the paper itself and ` you couldn't believe such a dainty flower as a Queen Anns Lace could be stuck so flat and tight - and nary a glue mark anywhere. Nice Work! Our quiet Mrs. Robert Bean, with her sturdy and well. made twine mats, satmear Mrs. Wilmer • Hardy who had a wonderful "assortment. of weaving and sewing. Her quilts were beautiful. • Mrs.. Will McKnight entered some beautiful crochet work and Jack Clements had his Blind Craft work. You can -always contact him (Dungannon) for this nice leather work. Evelyn Hardy is very proud of her friends and their handiwork, she deserves a lot of credit for organizing their Country Crafts Christmas Fair" which' will be held November ANNUAL LEGION PICNIC BRANCH 109; GODERICH SUNDAY, AUGUST 10 KITCHIGAMI CAMP' All Veterans and Families Bus Leaving Legion' Hall 1:30 P.M.

I got, a real kick out of Jack Adams who came along with a couple of paintings he had done some time ago. - "Just want to show them" he said, but right away someone spots one of ° them as "just ' what he was looking for" and Jack had sold his first painting. ,"I've just got to have a receipt"or something to show that I sold one or the boys at the mine would never believe me!" So, another budding artist, and I just hope he does more of this work. We have so many artists' and crafts people that I can't tellyou about at this time, but we surely thank them ALL for contributing to the success of our '69 Art Mart. You always expect a friendly atmosphere in a' small town but when it comes to painting your neighbour's house = while he is away is something most people won't believe. Well, they didn't paint it they PAPERED it - and, on the OUTSIDE! In this little section of our town the neighbors get together for backyard fun with food and music and genuine friendliness - which seems to be missing in so - many towns today. • When Tony went "back home" for a visit they said they'd . parrot his house for -him - "what color do you want?" "Any color, as long as it is a good job," he challenged them. But they all got cold feet and when they heard from Tony giving the time of his returnal}d hoping • _they ;had. painted the house, they thought they had better DO something: ,S6 they got some black wallpaper and a great• many other things and really decorated his house. Luckily everyone enjoyed the joke,' and Tony and Mary realize the neighborhood loves them after all. There should be m.ore'of this friendliness and fun in the town. Life is getting so warped, for so many people, that our young people never see or hear of any of these old fashioned get togethers, they only know one line in a song, which is repeated over and over; and think their elders are old fogies who don't know how to have a good time. Well, I could say a int more on this subject but I think you get the picture! Colborne Cemetery Memorial Service is this Sunday August 3 at 2:30 p gym. • I hope you have a nice holiday' and if you don't get away - at least relax and enjoy what so many people come to Goderich for each year.
