HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1986-03-26, Page 20BLYTH - T he Blyth Festival's 1986 season
brochures are now rolling off Doug Whit-
more's printing press in Blyth - 90,000 in all!
The brochure, designed by graphic artist
Karen Fletcher of Waterloo, shows a detail
from the painting "Pete" by Morris Darl-
ing, an artist living in Wroxeter. The entire
painting will form the 1986 Blyth Festival
poster.
"I really liked Morris Darting's work
when I saw it for the first time last year in
an exhibition in the Festival Gallery" said
Artistic Director Katherine Kaszas. "I felt
there was a strong connection between what
he does on canvas and what we do on stage -
reflecting life and the quality of life of the
people of this area. As with all good art, its
timelessness makes its appeal universal.
I'm thrilled that we are able to use one of his
paintings for our poster this year."
Pete himself (whose real name is actually
Gordon), is now in his eighties and living in
the Teeswater area. He used to reside in
Wroxeter and has worked as a farmer and in
a feed mill in the past; he remembers cut-
ting the grain by hand with a scythe! •
The mailing of brochures to those current-
ly on the Festival's mailing list, nearly
10,000 names, took a mere two days, thanks
to the Festival's computer which sorts and
prints all the addresses by postal code. (In .
pre -computer days, it used to take a couple
of weeks to get the brochures sorted for
mailing!) If your name is in our computer,
you will be receiving your brochure in the
mail very soon. Please let us know if you are
receiving duplicate copies or if we have an
incorrect address.
Bulk distribution of brochures to stores,
hotels, information booths, etc., is mainly
done in person by Philippa Borgal (Publici-
ty Director) with help from Sally Leitch and
the board of directors. Brochures are widely
distributed - from Chatham to Barrie, Wiar-
ton to Hamilton, Sarnia to Toronto.
If you. can't find a brochure in a shop or
library near you, and you aren't planning a
-drive,through Blyth in the near future, call
(519) 523-9300/9225 and ask for a brochure to
be sent to you. (This will also ensure your
name is on the mailing list for next year.)
