Mr. Harris noted that the federal
government's commitment. of
5450,000 is "somewhat more than
a third" of the cost of the initial
phase of the expansion, estimated
at 51,289,885, but admitted the
board "had hoped for up to
5600,000," one-third of the pro-
ject's total cost.
"All it means is that our own
fund-raising activities will have to
dig a little deeper," Mr. Hams said.
"But in view of the truly outstand-
ing
utstanding job our (fund-raising) commit-
tee has done so far; I don't think
that this will be much of a prob-
lem."
In less than three months, • the
Festival's fund-raising committee,
under capital campaign project co-
ordinator Lynda Lentz of Blyth, has
raised in excess of S236,000 from
hundreds of individual and corporate
contributions. In addition, Mr. Har-
BLYTH - The federal government
has announced a contribution of
$450,000 toward the °first phase of
the Blyth Festival's S1.8 million
capital expansion project, ending
nearly three months of speculation_
as to whether the project would be
able to proceed on schedule. The
promise came only hours after
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney an-
nounced an election for November
21.
"We're dancing, on our desks!"
said Katherine Kaszas, the Festi-
val's artistic director, as Huron -
Bruce MP Murray Cardiff made the
announcement at a press conference
at the theatre Saturday evening in
front of more than 100 theatre -pa-
trons gathered. for the Festival's
fust -ever "Murder Mystcry Dinner"
which followed. Several rounds of
enthusiastic applause broke out as
Mr. Cardiff spoke.
The contribution is expected to be
matched or exceeded shortly by the
provincial government, which has
twice extended the Festival's fund-
ing application deadline in the
hopes that the senior government
would make a commitment to the
project.
In a letter to local newspapers last
week, Huron MPP Jack Riddell said
that his government has been ready
to offer its support to the Festival
expansion for some time, "the only
hold-up (being) that the federal gov-
crnment has not yet made a com-
mitment for its portion of the funds
required." As soon as that commit-
ment came, Mr. Riddell said, the
province "will be able to process
the application."
"But the whole thing has been
looking very good," Festival gener-
al manager Joel Harris said Mon-
day. "I think all that needs to be

"Obviously, we've had to change
our plans because we can't interrupt
Memorial Hall's busy winter sched-
ule, white a lot of the other work
can be done before freeze-up this
year," Ms. Gardner said.
She added that the Festival's
building committee, under chairman
Don McCaffrey of Exeter, will be
meeting immediately to plan the
tender criteria for Locales 11 and III,
which will likely be let separately.
"We hope to have the shell of the
new (garage) facility up before
freeze-up, with it all completed and
ready for use by next March," said
Mr. Harris.
