Museum
Quilt Show
By Roberta Walker
GRAND BEND - The Lambton
Heritage Museum is presently host-
ing a Quilt Show and Sale, from
July 1-6, so you have today and to-
morrow left to see the talented han-
diwork of our local quilt makers.
Many quilts have already been sold,
and the judging is done, but many
are still there for sale, plus beauties
on display. Don't miss it! . e
Canada Day has come and gone,
and so have the crowds, but the
newly re -shaped intersection helped
the traffic disperse more quickly
than previous years. Lots of new
stores are open to serve the public,
but T-shirts seem to be the most
popular item -everywhere. Grand
Bend may become the T-shirt capi-
tal of Southwestern Ontario.
The Fireworks display on Satur-
day night was outstanding! The
evening began with a spectacular
sunset and perfect weather, provided
by the good Lord in answer to re-
quests from the organizers. Over
$7,000 worth of fireworks lit up the
night skies, as crowds jammed the
beaches, and a flotilla of small
boats and yachts ringed the area,
their night lights twinkling on the
water like a necklace around a bay.

Pinery 'sand -turning'
GRAND BEND - Vincent Kerrio,
Ontario's Minister of Natural Re-
sources participated in the Pinery
Provincial Park's "sand -turning"
ceremony held at the proposed new
site of the visitor centre in the park,
on Thursday.
The $1.3 million visitor centre,
will contain a bookstore which is
managed by the Friends of Pinery,
natural history exhibits, an indoor
theatre and a children's "hands-on"
activity area. .
The ceremony also included Ker-
rio signing an official agreement
with the Friends of Pinery, a non-
profit charitable organization con-
sisting of people of the community
who act as a liaison between the
park and the community by sup-
porting the interpretive and educa-
tional programs of the park.
"The new visitor centre will en-
hance educational and interpretive
programs and create space for re-
search programs dedicated to the
protection of the natural features of
this park," said Kerrio.
The 8000 square foot, pod -like
structured centre, will be built on a
sand dune in the park overlooking
an oak -savannah area near the out-
door theatre.
The first Honorary Chairman of
the Friends of Pinery Park, world-
renowned wildlife artist, Glen
Loates aided Kerrio in the sand -
turning as well as signing of the
agreement.
Visitor Services Programmer,
Terry Crabe, said, "the building
will be dynamic and exciting."
The Ministry of Natural Resourc-
es revitalization program, aimcd at
developing and improving provin-
cial parks, is funding the project in
preparation for the Ontario provin-
cial parks centennial in 1993.
The visitor centre is predicted to
be open to the public by the fall of
1990.
