Festival props on the auction block
BI.YTH - It takes an event like the fund
raising Dinner Auction in support of the
Capital Fend of the Blyth Summer Festival
to demon: .rate the loyalty and generosity of
a large number of people living in Huron
County and more distant places.
The success of this year's event, which
was held on November 8 in Blyth Memorial
Hall, is credited to the totally voluntary
work of the theatre's directors, friends, ad-
ministration and box office staff, Lobb auc-
tioneers of Clinton, the catering services of
Bonnie Roy of Varna, her helpers including
sprinter Steve Souch and Mark McDonald
and the director who co-ordinated the entire
function — Gayle Gundy. of Bayfield. Hats
off to her tremendous work. And for the auc-
tion itself, its success depended upon the
good will and generosity of both donors and
bidders. They did a magnificent job.
Never has one seen tables arranged in
such a manner as to accommodate handily
160 dinner guests in Memorial Hall. They
were a delight to sit at, with their white cot-
ton cloths, large napkins, red carnations,
simple centrepieces of 2 cobs of field corn,
husks and rea tape.

donated and sold at the event. IAnne Narejko photo)

PROGRAM
Mrs. Roy's organization of the buffet table
setting and serving and the kitchen work
made the whole operation run like clock
work. '1'he menu ranged from stuffed
chicken breasts and other meats to all kinds
of vegetables, relishes, dips, and biscuits.
Even freshly picked sprigs of herbs, sage,
thyme, marjoram, from the Roy garden
were popular flavor enhancers.
After dinner, Katherine Kaszas, artistic
director, provided merriment when she an-
nounced her unique requirements for door
prize .awards. Laughter broke out when no
less than seven innocent looking ladies
came forward, each brandishing a jack
knife she had to search for in her purse. The
requirement met, seven prizes were
awarded.
A gentleman from Toronto was lucky
enough to have worn red socks that night
and correct answers for theatre Trivia ques-
tions — titles and authors of past Festival
plays also paid off.
Upstairs, more fun was, waiting for the
large crowd of bidders. The Lobb brothers,
Richard and Burt of Clinton, are not only
snappy auctioneers but also stage comedy
artists. Their synchronized movements and
powerful voices brought rewarding results.
They had done voluntary work at the
Shriners' big auction the night before, and
here they were selling 114 items and ser-
vices for three or more hours with no sign of
waning voice nor weakening banter.
There camepleasant surprise and more
entertainment 'wen Jack Riudeii, Ontario
Minister of Agriculture, and an experienced
auctioneer besides, relieved Richard Lobb
for approximately fifteen minutes. Jack
kept the bids rolling and the -bidders' spirits
high.
The auction stage was a vision of con-
trasts: the renowned wedding gown of Cake
Walk '86, the Pet's Tomorrow Box, the grant
rocking horse from Lily, Alta., with an add-
ed bonus of John Rutledge as rider, a ser-
vice offer for "one spring lamb if you would
rather eat your sheep than lie on it," and 110
other services and items.
The two highest bids were for an enclosed
private box for eight for one 1987 Blue Jays'
home game, and a private aerobatics air
show anywhere in Huron County. Numerous
works of art — pottery, paintings, carpen-
try, craft also realized handsome sums.
At the close of the auction, guests enjoyed
the last course of their dinner — desserts
and more coffee.
At this time, a remark heard that was
made by a Wingham lady sums up well the
degree of importance that.people put on the
Summer Festival (the Winter Concert
Series as well). She said, "We do not know
what we would do without it."
In order to have it, team effort to raise
money is a necessity, and the biennial
November dinner and auction is just one of
many theatre events that displays team
work to the hilt.

Holsteins go Royal
TORONTO - The Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair, known as the showcase of the
world for its first class events and exhibits,
will feature on November 19, a top quality
Holstein show. Cattle have been entered
from ,across Canada and the United States
and will parade in the Coliseum before an in-
ternational crowd. This annual show is
known to Holstein breeders as the best event.
of the season. Itis an unwritten code that if a
Holstein is good enough to be exhibited at
the Royal Winter Fair, she is one of the
"cream of the crop".
In addition to this Holstein spectacle, the
34th Sale of Stars featuring over 40 sel
Holsteins from some of the best herd
Canada, will be held following the judgin
Supplementary to the excitement of
November 19, is the Scotiabank Contact
Hays Classic, a competition added to last
year's/Royal as part of a salute to youth.
More than 260 4-H Club members from
across Canada are expected to show dairy
calves in the Classic, a two-day competition
that begins November, 16 with preliminary
judging of the Showmanship Classes and
concludes on November 17 with the Confor-'
mation Classes.

Many may think that these words do not
affect many in the News -Record readership
area and that they are taken from a tourist
brochure. Well you're right in one case and
wrong on the other.
The words were taken from a tourist
brochure but they do affect those in the
Bayfield area as they would not have been
possible to print if it were not for Tom
Penhale and his crew at Bayfield Welding
and Wagon.
On March 15 of this year, the kick-off for
the project was held after the first Landau
carriage was completed. The next step was
to complete 50 more such wagons.
The Bayfield Welding and Wagon workers
tackled the project with enthusiasm and the
Kauai Resort is using the wagons as their
major promotional idea.
The advertisement in the Westin Hotels
and Resorts brochure explains how the car-
riages were constructed. It says, "To create
the carriages, an antique carriage was pur-
chased in Newhall, California, from which a
fiberglass mold was fabricated. Production
of new 'antique' fiberglass carriages is tak-
ing place in Bayfield, Ontario, Canada,
under the supervision of renowned carriage
craftsman Tom Penhale..."
As with the Disney Wagon, Mr. Penhale
and his employees have once again brought
the Village of Bayfield to the attention of
many.
