Black Powder Rendezvous set
Doon Heritage Crossroads will
be the site of the annual Black
Powder Rendezvous on Sunday,
July 31 from 10 am. to 4:30 p.m.
Each year folks dressed as fur
traders and trappers gather on the
Willow Green at Doon to re-enact a
fur trading rendezvous from the
18th Century.
A rendezvous was a chance for
the native and Metis trappers to sell
their winter's catch to the company
men who had come up from
Montreal. They could trade for
needed pieces of equipment such as
cast iron cooking pots, warm
blankets or food supplies. The
rendezvous was also a time for
socializing as the trapper lived a
lonely life in the woods and now
for a week or so he could meet with
his friends and trade some tall tales.
Blyth Festival bd. member
receives prestigious award
One of the largest summer
rendezvous occurred at Fort
William in northern Ontario but
there was some trapping in this area
as well.
The re-enactment at Doon will
have visitors travelling even further
back in time as rendezvous
participants will use only 18th
Century skills; starting their
campfire with friction or flint,
making all of their food without
modern conveniences and
appreciating basic things like
wood, fire and water.

Director, producer and play
wright, Paul Thompson, who also
sits on the Blyth Festival's board of
directors, was recently honoured as
the recipient of a prestigious award.
The Silver Ticket, presented at
the Dora Mavor Moore Awards,
was presented to Mr. Thompson in
"recognition for his outstanding
contribution to the stage."
The award is like a lifetime free
pass, allowing Mr. Thompson and a
guest to attend any production in
any theatre in Toronto, at no charge
for life.
Mr. Thompson was bom in Elma
Twp. and attended Listowel high
school. His emergence on the
Canadian theatre scene came with
his tenure as artistic director of
Theatre Passe Muraille from 1971
to 1982.
The Canadian Encyclopedia says
that "Thompson pioneered the
development of the 'collective cre
ation' in which actors, a director
and writer develop a script through
acting improvisations."
Based in Toronto, Passe Muraille
was also well-known in Huron and
Perth, where he developed such
plays as The Farm Show and 1837:
The Farmers' Revolt.
Most recently Mr. Thompson
directed He Won't Come in From
the Barn, the second offering in
Blyth Festival's 1994 season.
He is presently in Manitoulin
where he is working on a native
