Council split on fest events
An attempt by council to
have transient traders in
Grand Bend toe the line
came close to altering plans
for one of the major events
of the resort’s Buffalo
Burgerfest, a little over a
week away.
Tom Webster and Ron
Landrey of the Chamber of
Commerce’s burgerfest
committee appeared before
council this week informing
them of a few of the ac
tivities planned.
What evolved into the
main issue of contention was
the hiring of the Grand Bend
parachute jumping centre to
put on a demonstration of
pin-point parachute jumping
on the main beach near the
entertainment tent.
Reeve Bob Sharen and
Councillor Harold Green
were adamant in their op
position to the hiring of the

SYNTHETIC TURF
group as it was their conten
tion that the village should
have nothing to do with
Brian Smith or any of the
groups with which he was
associated.
When Robert Wright, a
member of the parachuting
group in attendance at the
meeting expressed no
knowledge of Smith’s ac
tivities outside of the
parachute club, Sharen ex
plained Smith had opened up
a Hobby Craft boat rental
operation on the private por
tion of the beach without
having obtained a transient
trader’s permit and a sign
permit two weeks ago.
Sharen said Smith had
been one of the principals in
volved in a parasail opera
tion which had run afoul of
council two years ago.
The reeve told Wright
“We don’t intend to let
anybody come in and do
things that would not be in
the best interests of the
town.”
Wright assured council
Smith would have no in
volvement in the jump as he
did not have the required
number of jumps for the pin
point accuracy required and
would not be a part of the
ground support staff.
Councillor Keith Crawford
said it is not council's
business to approve who the
Chamber hired to carry the
event out but merely to ap
prove the actual event.
“Without prejudice, I’d go
along with the hiring . . . it’s
not our business who they
hire.”
In a recorded vote re
quested by Sharen, coun
cillors Baird and Crawford
and Deputy-reeve Bob Simp
son voted for the parachute
jump while Sharen and
Green voted against the
jump.
Two other Burgerfest
items were approved by
council with the launching of
a jet-ski boat from the beach
during the festival causing
some concern..
The craft, which
resembles a snowmobile
made for water, would be in
volved in a demonstration to
last no more than an hour,
Webster said and would be
“quite spectacular.”
Considerable debate over
the closing of Main street
from the Village Inn Retreat
to the bath house for the bed
race took place with
Webster, in reply to a ques
tion from Crawford, saying
“we’ll use our heads on
this.”
The . Chamber asked for
permission to have the
street closed from 8:30 a.m.
to 2 p.m. on June 17.
Webster said the entry from
Gibbs Park would not be
blocked and traffic on the
north lane would be per
mitted between the heats of
the races.
He said the Chamber,
when requesting the number
of hours that the street
should be closed, had taken
the most pessimistic view
and that the check-in during
the morning may be too'long
and that the races should be
completed no later than
1:30.
The race has only one con
firmed entry so far, Webster
said, but he said there is in
terest in the community
about the races.
