"We wanted to make sure that local talent and food is part of our fund raising," said Mark Ryan, Rev'n in 11 co-chair. "Most of the musicians have a close tie to the Port Albert area." Cliff Erickson has had a sustaining ' entertaining career for over 30 years. He has traveled as a solo performer from his hometown of Port Huron, Michigan to venues all over the world. "One of our committee members attended one of Erickson's concerts," said Ryan. "They said he was a extremely funny and a major crowd pleaser."

It is suggested that you get your tickets early so as not to miss out on what promises to be a fun evening: "At our dance in the spring we sold out before tickets were even at the vendors," said Ryan. "Make sure you get your ticket soon, so that you don't miss _ out on this night of food and music." The comittee is planning to run more events in 2010, including a dance in March. Port Albert is working towards its goal of raising funds for the 175th celebration to be held in 2011. The ultimate purpose of the celebration is to raise enough money in 2011 to make a positive impact on the community in general, but most importantly to provide recreational facilities for the young people in our area. "At our last celebration, enough funds were ,raised to do various upkeep and, improvements in our vil- lage," said Ryan. The Port Albert & Area Recreational Society Inc. was formed in 1987 and administered the money over the last 22 years. The Rev'n in 11 committee is a part of the Recreational Society and the funds left over from the 1986 celebration has provided the committee with some seed money to get things rolling for 2011.
