Roy Pattison, vice chairman of the local committee, confirmed this, pointing out a lot of people will be staying in trail- ers on the site and will have to come into town to get supplies.

It draws its revenue from the exhibits, while the local commit- tee gets the gate receipts, he said. The OPA also pays the site ex- penses, which can run fairly high. At this year's match in Frontenac County, near Kingston, the hydro bill was about $40,000, toilets were $10,000 and the phones were $10,000, he said. He added that an attempt is made to see money is kept in the immediate area; local people are given first preference for cater- ing, beer gardens, etc. Informa- tion meetings are being held to inform local groups of ways they can get involved. He mentioned that the ladies' program,is an important part of the match and a lot of hard work is going on to prepare it. They will have three buildings with such things as horticultural exhibits, fashion shows and crafts. He later noted there will be 500 exhibitors� at the match and among them could be an industry looking for a placto locate. This is another way the event could benefit an area, he said.
