Attendance down at Belmore festival Organizers of this year's Belmore Maple Syrup Festival report numbers are down somewhat from last year, but they are still considering the two-day event a success. Mrs. Betty Stafford said, almost 2,400 meals were served this year, which is down approximately 800 from previous years. However, Mrs. Stafford attributed the decline to a number of factors like the poor economic climate, an auction sale held in Wingham and a trade fair in Brussels which may have drawn some people away and the fact that the festival was held the third weekend in April rather than the second. Even though just 2,400 meals were served, Mrs. Stafford estimated ' that approximately 3,000 at- tended. In addition to the traditional feast of pan- cakes, syrup and sausage, local craftsmen had booths to sell their wares and en- tertainment was provided.
