sports events on weekend

part, says Haziitt.
On Sunday morning at 10 a.m. the Soap ,
Box Derby occurs with Len Jenkins and Don
Feagan responsible for looking over the.
design of the cars, as well as costumes worn
by the drivers. Of course, speed also counts
and prizes will be given out to the winners.
The most unique event of the celebrations
is the lawn mower race on Sunday. There
are three categories: the old-fashioned push
mowers, push mowers with rotary blades,
and the riding lawn mower race. Everyone
is welcome to share in the activity, which
promises to add some excitement to the
weekend.
As well as diversity, Hazlitt says pai
ticipation is also important. Due to thew e
range of events, the Sports Committee
hopes to appeal to many people with "fun"
being the main goal of each and every
activity.
For every event, there are prizes donated
by local businesses and a brewer, with cash
prizes also awarded.

Diversity is the key word to explain the
host of sports events everyone can partake
in at the Colborne Sesquicentennial
Celebrations.
John Hazlitt's Sports Committee has plan-
ned an impressive and unique line-up of ac-
tivities for local residents and visitors alike.
Beginning on Saturday, prospective arm
wrestlers can flex their biceps in that event.
Throughout the day there is also log sawing,
bag tying, bale throwing, nail hammering
and a barrel race. Gord Kerr is looking after
the horseshoe pitching, and a kite contest
for children will be judged on the fly and
design of their kites.
A Sky Harbour Model Airplane Show
takes place at 4 p.m. on the School
Playground, and at about 7 p.m. all those
people with large lungs can use their vocal
cords in the hog calling contest.
A municipal challenge has been given for
the Tug -of -War, also on Saturday. Local
groups and councils are encouraged to take
Pancakes and beef will fill
hungry bellies during weekend
BY MIKE FERGUSON
With plans for up to 1500 hungry visitors
to the Colborne celebrations, Keith Homan
and his Food Committee have prepared with
a pancake breakfast and a beef barbeque.
Advance tickets for the barbeque are the
best way to ensure you get a meal, says
Homan. The meal, catered by Ron William-
son, includes roast beef, baked potato,
beans, cole slaw, rolls, horseradish, sour
cream, chocolate milk and ice cream all for
$6.
One thousand tickets are available for the
Pancake and Sausage Breakfast on Sunday
morning. All the committee member's will
be manning the cutlery as they flip the pan-
cakes and cook the sausage. Members of the
Food Committee include: Chairman Keith
Homan, Jo -Anne Homan, Fan Sheardown,
Doreen Willis, Audrey Kernighan, Leone
Robertson, Bill Bogie, Lois Vanstone and
Betty Moore.
In addition to the barbeque and breakfast,
two food booths will be on the site selling
hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and the like.
So no matter what your individual palate
may take a liking to, Colborne's Food Com-
mittee has made sure most everyone can
find something to fill that growling stomach.
