-There is a certain excitement
about this old town this week as
everyone 'gets ready- for Alt Mart
weekend. I've been hearing littlereo
bits and pieces of what to expect
from Art Mart this year and I'm
really quite excited.
One of the "'newest and
brightest , features of theArt
Mart this year (of which I'm-
aware). is the Goderich Little
• Theatre' booth to be located in
the back , of the— former.
'Stedman's Store, behind the
Goderich Psychiatric Hospital
merchatdise-which occupies that
spot on a regular basis now. - •
M. R.ttth Leonard • who
works here at the Signal,Star and
is also an executive member of
the Little Theatre group, reports...,
that there ' are about 600 • '
beautiful travel posters to be
offered for sale .... and some of
them are "just gorgeous" to
•
quote Mrs. Leonard.
Travel posters, you know, are
lovely additions to any home if
they are tastefully chosen and
wisely displayed. I understand
,.the Little Theatre people will be
giving some ideas on just how
decorative. these colorful travel.
posters can be .... so why not go
round and have a look for
yourself.
• Ps-s-st:'"If you would like to
purchase some Lotterio tickets
and get in, on a chance at some
really big cash prizes -,legally -
the tickets will also be on sale at
