The event was organized by Dorothy
Crocker, Last year she wrote to Mr. Dress
Up at the,CBC. One year later Don Jones,
pro/1100n manager for Mr. Dress Up and
the Poll Dot -Door phoned,
"He OW if we would .be interesting in
having t; the Polka -Dot -Door eome to
Goderich and perform during the March
break. Vile 'consented and they provided the
posters and from there it sold„itself," Mrs.
Crocker Said.
The el ildren really seemed to . enjoy it,
and' when Polkaroo came out their eyes lit
up and they squealed with delight according
to Mrs. Crocker.
"The Children enjoy the show because
they identify strongly with, all of the
characters because they see them everyday
and they consider the characters part of
their family or at least their close friends,"
Mrs. Crocker said.
"The show is great for kids. There is a lot
of action and a lot of movement," one parent
said after the show.
The original Polka -Dot -Door has been on
television for 14 years and the travelling
show has been in existance for the past three
years.
A portion of the money taken at the box
office goes to the Survival Through Friend-
ship House. Approximately 80 per cent of
the gate and 90 Per cent of the t -shirt and
button sales goes to the players of the show.
