Imore festival
The weatherman,certainly
cooperated with Belmore
last weekend as clear, sunny
skies highlighted the com-
miniity's 14th annual maple
syrup festival.
The ideal weather con
clitions boosted the usual
large turnout to the arena.
Organizers reported that
2,300 meal tickets were sold
on Saturday, compared to
1,900 in 1980. Added to this
were more than 600 meals of
hot pancakes and sausages
smothered in sweet, thick
maple syrup served Thurs-
day, the festival Seniors'
Day.
In addition to the meal the
festival offered a variety of
entertainment, baking and
craft displays and draws.
This year's entertainers
were nlostly from the arca.
They included the Howick
Municipal Singers, featuring
Harold Robinson, Wes Ball,
Ken Dettinan and Stuart
Douglaa. The audience was
also treated to barbershop
singing by the Bruce County
Folk Singers, local step
dancers, violin and piano
playing and the Pearl County
Bluegrass Band from
Hanover.
While, listening to the

baked goods were there for
sale, together with fresh
farmer's sausage and ptite
maple syrup.
Hourly draws were held
this year, with prizes being
donated by local businesses
and the Ontario Cream Pro-
ducers' Association.
Many visitors found it
difficult to turn •down the
day's special as the aroma of
sizzling pancakes and
sausages filtered through the
arena. As a result the crowds
consumed almost 2,000
pounds of sausages, 1,000
pounds of flour, 150 dozen
eggs and 60 gallons of syrup.
Festival nrangizers and
workerswere all volunteers
and since many displays are
• drawn from the area, the
festival has proven to be a
social and financial boost to
the comaiunity of Belmore.
