A ukulele group directed by Marjorie Hayter played and sang a medley of tunes, _ and Julie Webster played a piano solo,"You Light Up My Life". The Varna Players did a fast -paced and hilarious skit on the scene at Grant and Elva's on the morning of the wedding. Highlights were Elva's three -foot -long list of things to be done, and the strange articles Cheryl's sisters found in the bride's suitcase — a ball and glove, a snorkel, one-piece sleepers, etc. It ended with the cattle getting out, which was close to being a reality en Sunday evening: Grant discovered just in time that they had broken the gate, and repairs were quickly made. Debra Rathwell played the part of Elva, Pat Norman was Grant, Shirley Taylor was theride, and Elaine Stephens, Shirley Hill and Brenda Dowson were her sisters.
