Ms. Kaszas said the theatre has tried to be integrated by presenting local plays of local interest into the community but there will always be some people who won’t want to see theatre and that’s their right.” “We will always be confronted with some of this no matter how hard we work,” Reeve Albert Wasson said. Earlier he had prais­ ed the co-operation between the village and the Festival and said he was happy with the success story of the Festival. Later in the evening the council considered the Festival’s request for a grant of $1,500, the same as last year. “For the amount of revenue the Festival puts into Blyth we should keep the grant at least the same,” Councillor Brown said.
