dville historic site.
Last year's Ciderfestwas
an instant success, and the
vari-ous committees are
expecting even bigger crowds
in 1977. More important, next
year will be the bicentennial
of 'the birth of the Colonel
Anthony Van Egmond and the
150th anniversary of the
Huron Tract, which stretched
from Guelph, Ontario to
Goderich.
It consisted of a major
thoroughfare between two
. ",, tracts r of acreage for, early
settlers, ..with the road built
under the direction of the
Colonel. Work is proceeding
at a fast pace at the house,
and it is hoped that the
building will be completely
ready for the public by the
anniversary celebration.
The Foundation has,
however, sent out a call for
help. Present membership,
although enthusiastic, is very
low, and more -new members
are required. The fee for a
year's membership is $2 and
new faces are urgently
needed to help in planning
and promoting the 1977
events.'
People interested in local
history and contact with
others with similar tastes

servation and we'll enter it in
the contest after it appears in
the paper.
