correspondence and business was attended

Courthouse Park display grows this year
What started out as one animated
Christmas display in Courthouse Park last
year has now grown to six. However, that
number may have to grow to at least 15 or 20
before it becomes an effective drawing card
for tourists, says Rob Sherwood.
Sherwood, a member of the Goderich
Kinsmen Club and a local tour bus operator
who has transported thousands of people to
famous Christmas displays in other com-
munities, convinced his fellow Kinsmen to
erect the first display in Courthouse Park
last year. Encased in, glass and raised off
ground level, it features an animated Santa
and Mrs. Claus checking over their
Christmas list:
This year that display was joined by a
large snowman erected by Legion Branch
109; a miniature candy cane cement mixer
erected by the Rotary Club; Canterbury
Carollers erected by the Beta Sigma Phi
Sorority: a miniatiirp clpivh with hr,r,.s
pulling a man and woman, erected by the
Kinettes; and the Santa Claus float used in
the town's parade, set up by the Kinsmen.
Sherwood said he hopes to have a meeting
in June to involve the rest of the service
clubs for next year. He would then like to get
some of the churches involved in setting up
nativity -theme displays. Eventually, cor-
porate and individual displays will • be
welcome too but Sherwood says the whole
project must be done in organized stages so

that it does not become "a hit and miss sort
of thing".
Although it will take awhile for the
number of displays to grow large enough to
draw the interest of winter tourists, Sher-
wood feels the project is now serving
another need by bringing the town's service
clubs closer together.
"This is an inter -club project, one that
gets everyone involved," he explains.
To date, comments on the displays have
been positive. Expensive and tastefully
done, they are quite professional looking.
And with a backdrop of trees and snow,
Courthouse Park will lend a perfect setting
to the entire project when it is completed.
Information was given in regard to the
Huron Day Centre for the Homebound. A let-
ter from Erland Lee, (Museum) Home was
read and their program for 1985 noted. At-
tention will be given to this at next meeting.
Information was given in regard to the 4-H
course, "Fitness Fare" just completed.
Helen Riehl and Mary Lou Clements will
lead the next 4-H project also which will be
"Action Wear", a sewing class starting the
end of January or early in February.
Anyone interested in this course, would be
welcome but get in touch with the leaders
early in January at the latest.
The roll call, "My FavouritPreparation
for Christmas", was ans red in various
ways by the members whi afforded an ex-
cellent program. of readings, stories, the
origin of Silent Night and of the Christmas
candle. One member even played a tape
recording of a Christmas evening at her
daughter's home with singing and piano.
Instead of gift giving, members took
something for a basket and then sold tickets
on same with the money realized to go to
some worthy charity. Members winning a
basket in the draw were Mrs. E. Bogie, Mrs.
0. Falkiner, Mrs. C. Sherwood and Mrs.
Henry Brindley.
members fgliupd Thursday a busy day and
there was d. i:0cussien as to what other' day
was suitable for meetings. It was agreed
that the fourth Wednesday of the month
would be more satisfactory. So from now,
starting with 1985, the Institute meeting will
be the fourth Wednesday of each month. If
the weather is satisfactory, the next
meeting will be held in Colborne Township
Hall -on January 23. The topic will be
`Resolutions', with Mrs. Ilan Bean and Mrs.
Theresa Fulford In charge.
The business -being concluded,, the
meeting closed with everyone wishing one
and all A Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year, by joining hands and singing the
Christmas carol, "We Wish You a Merry
Christmas".
