Parks Day, the annual celebration

entertain both young and old.
People can try their luck with a fire
back pack, or hit a fire target.

good squirrel? See if you can hide
the acoms in the trees. What about
your pitching arm? Show us how
good you are. Try your luck at the
fish pond, have your face painted,
listen to a nature story, make a craft
or show off your colouring skills.
Perhaps you would like to ride in
the Voyager Canoe and relive a
time when the river was the
transportation route.
After all the activities, you will
probably be hungry. Try some of
our fabulous Savanna Festival Fare.
Be sure to try all the booths and
you won't go home empty handed.
Many prizes are available. You
could take home a Glen Loates

There's Nothing in the Paper, set to
have its premiere on the Blyth stage
July 23. Much of the humour in
this play is supplied by Sam (Dick
Murphy) and Hank (Vernon
Chapman), a couple of hilarious old
cronies who sit around outside the
Shadowville Examiner offices and
keep score to see how many
mistakes they can find in their
weekly newspaper.
The Blyth Festival will accept
goofs and gaffes from any
newspaper - daily or weekly - until
July 31. A prize for the "best" one
will be announced at each
reuse and recycle.
The show has been presented
over 500 times since 1990 and has
received enthusiastic audience
responses everywhere Jane and
Cameron go.
intermission during the five
performances of Paper in July. A
draw for a grand prize will be made
Aug. 1.
With crazy deadlines and the
thousands of words that newspaper
staff have to handle on a regular
basis, there are bound to be
mistakes and typos (staff are only
human afterall). However, some
slip-ups are funnier than others. So,
get proof reading and submit your
memorable ones to Box 10, Blyth
N0M 1H0; fax (519) 523-9804; or
drop off at the administration office
on Queen Street in Blyth. Be sure
to include your name, address and
phone number.
