Sprint, Showers '85 offered something for everyone, but where was everyone! The Clinton Recreation Committee presented a number of fine performances, ranging from the theatre production of The Haunted Castle to the Schneider Male Chorus and video road show. Unfortunately the events were poorly attended and the committee has taken a financial loss. The committee cannot, and should not, be blamed for the loss. Before booking the events, they checked to see if other ac- tivities were planned, and at the time of the bookings there were none. A. it turned out, activities were later planned for the same evening as the adult video show. The first spring performance was Jibbery Jive - a show for younger children and parents. Originally two performances were scheduled, but with only 175 people in- terested, the second performance was cancelled. The Schneiders Male Chorus attracted on - y 70 people compared to the anticipated full louse of 250 and The Haunted Castle saw 60 people in the audience. Spring Showers '85 was followed by the PRS Rock Video Road Show with one perfor- mance for youth and a performance for adults. The Clinton. Optimist Club donated manpower in return for 50 per cent of the revenue while the recreation committee paid the bill. However, there is no revenue to split as the event lost approximately $500 on the overall project ) paying the entertain- ment costs as well as beer, liquor and adver- tising) costing a total of $6,000. The youth dance attracted 275 teenagers, allowing the committee to come close to• breaking even, but only. 76 attended the adult dance. One reason for poor attendance could be other events taking place the same night, but it wasn't lack of proper advertising. A number of media avenues were used to publicize the events. In fact, the video shows were advertised five weeks prior to the ac- . tual date. The organizers of these events are bound to become frustrated, and you can't blame them. According to Recreation Director Kevin Duguay, the public expressed interest in having these events, but when they got what they asked for. very few people were there to support t em. "The lack of interest is going to jeopardize the running of similar events," said Mr. Duguay. "It's going to make it difficult to convince people to stage other events." And it should also be noted that each event ran smoothly. Although the events were poorly attended, the few who did show up enjoyed the perfor- mances. The 70 people who watched the Schneider Male Chorus indicated their ap- preciation for the fine musicial talents with their enuthastic applause. The 76 adults at the video show danced the night away, to a great selection of current video tunes. The small but enthusiastic audience even roused an encore number from the disc jockeys. Organizers can't be blamed for the losses taken at the spring events. they made the effort to bring new and different events to town. They attempted to quash "but there's nothing for do around here" attitude of many complainers. The onus now rests on the people of Clin- ton. If they seriously want extra activities in the area they must be willing to support them.
