Volunteers make Festival
Those concerned with recycling
will get a chance to recycle their old
books at the annual Gigantic Book
sale of the Blyth Festival May 25 at
Blyth Memorial Hall.
"Now is the time for spring clean
ing and were happy to take your bld
books that you might want to give
away," says book sale organizer Mar
ian Doucette. "We hope to accom
plish two things at once: recycle
books that would otherwise stay in
someone's attic or bookshelf and
improve the selection of books for
our patrons." All proceeds of the sale
go to the Blyth Festival.
The book sale, billed as Huron
County's biggest, has become a popu
lar event over its long history offer
ing free admission and a chance to
browse for hours. This year it will
only be held on the Saturday. Also
featured will be a pancake breakfast
from 8-10 a.m. and a lunch counter
featuring gourmet delights. Behind
the scenes tours of the Festival,
including the new building opened
last year, will also be available.
Drop-off points have been set up
for books throughout the county. In
local communities books can be left
at: Beck’s Variety in Belgrave; The
Festival Box Office in Blyth; Mait
land Valley Insurance and The Citi-
zen in Brussels; The Clinton
News-Record in Clinton and Wing
ham Stationery in Wingham.

tery plays; usher at theatre perfor
mances throughout the summer
season; help find homes for many of
the actors who reside near Blyth for
four months in the summer; organize
special community performances and
concerts; help with many special
office duties; assist our wardrobe
department with sewing costumes or
help find specialty props that are
needed for individual shows. Without
generous volunteers many important
activities at the Festival would cease
to exist."
Ms Waters said the Festival is
always looking for new members for
the Friends of Blyth and anyone
interested can get more information
or join by calling 523 —4345.
The Festival has become almost as
famous for the home cooking of the
hundreds of volunteers in various
groups that provide country suppers
as it is for the theatre on stage. Last
year the dinners provided to theatre
goers by church and community
groups raised over $26,000 for com
munity projects in Blyth, Belgrave,
Bluevale, Brussels and Walton.
