Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1983-08-24, Page 17t feat re fi c Heritage Village makes its debut at the 1983 Western Fair, bringing the Ontario government services building alive with a kaleidoscope off activity for ten days and nights. The free attraction com- bines a variety of stage acts and displays in cultural historic themes, and will in- clude the participation of southwestern Ontario com- munities in live presenta- tions, displays, dancing, music and historical dramas. Each municipality will move into Heritage Village for a designated day during the fair, in order to celebrate the history of its particular area. Some groups, in period costumes, will re-enact council meetings from bygone days; others will tell their story by featuring dancers and other talented performers- In a variety of ways, the participating municipalities will show how their history has enriched their lives and touched the lives of their neighbours in Ontario. The Village, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Hous- ing, is being featured at fairs in Thunder Bay, Simcoe and Ottawa as well as London. Each day, Heritage Village activities will be an- nounced by Daniel Richer Dit La Fleche, the official town crier. Richer Dit La Fleche, 27 of Hull, Quebec, is the youngest member of the Olde and Respectable Guild of International Town Criers, an exclusive group of 300 of the world's most elo- quent announcers of glad tidings. Dressed in a uniform similar to that of an 18th cen- tury French Town Crier, he will demonstrate his pro- wess at this ancient art with ala opera -trained voice that is capable of being heard over a crowd of 8,500 - without a microphone! Specified days and a par- tial list of activities are: Friday, September 9 - Mid- dlesex County Day; a re- enactment of several county council meetings just as they occurred at the turn of the century will be presented in an authentic reproduction of a coyncil hall of that period..
