Summerfest '73 wound up af-
ter three days on Saturday
evening in a down pour of rain.
Wet weather had punctuated
the event frequently but despite
less than ideal conditions
weather-wise, organizers are on
the whole very pleased with the
outcome of the festival.
"I was very satisfied with the
community's prirticipation,"
Recreation Director Mike.
Dymond said Toesday,
"although the number of
exhibitors involved with the
Art Mart portion of Suit rher-
fest was much lower than
previous years."
. Mr. Dymond blamed this
poor response4m the fact that
artisans who had previously at-
• tended Art Mart to show and
sell their wares had not been
informed in time to make
plans.
"The Goderich Art Club,"
Mr. Dymond explained, "had .
written letters to those usually
involved saying there would be
no Art Mart before it was
finalized that the Summerfest
committee would be sponsoring
one. It was written with the
best intentions I'm sure, -but it
did not help participation ,in
that respect."
"Of course the weather did
not help things either," Mr.
Dymond added.
.In regatd to next year the
Recreation Director said there
,was every indicatin that Sum-
' merfest '74 woula be even
bigger and better.
"We've got tons of plans and
hope to stretch the event into a ,
week long festival although the
Art Mart portion may, remain
as only three days." _
''People attending Summer -
fest seemed to really enjoy the
'Pendulum Players and the.
• mu-sical entertainment," he
pointed out, "and we hope to
hgve.more of that sort of thing
next year."
"The beer tent,sponsored by
the local Kinsmen Ch413, was of
course very popular," Mr.
Dymond observed.
Goderich police reported
following the Summerfest that
they had 'very few problems
over the three days and that
the beer tent presented them
with no difficulties,
Sgt..Merv. Witter said_in an_
interview with the Sig"nal-Star
that overall law enforcement
during the Summerfest. faced
no difficulties and poly the
passing of three counterfeit $50
bills to locatmerchailts marred
the event..
Mike Dymond said he "was
lthough the number of artists displaying their works during
mmerfest '73 was greatly reduced as compared to
rwlous years, several loca4nd visiting artists did provide
isplays for theArt Mart portion of the Summerfest event.

"We dependon that attrac-

With that exception, and the
weather, Mr. Swartman said he
felt the businessmen were
pleased with Summerfest '73.
