PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 3, 1988 -- 15 be something for everyone. Festival Days chairman Debbie Jones told the Star last week that storeowners along Queen Street will be asked to decorate and dress in period costume, with the street being divided into three sections. In the first block, from John to Perry Street, they will be asked to decorate in a Medieval Theme; while the block between Perry and Water Street will take on a Victo- rian look. The section along Wa- ter Street in front of Palmer Park will become Picidilly Square. Prizes will be awarded this year for the best stores and costumes but will be divided according to size of the business. There will also be an opportunity for resi- dents to vote for their favourite store. More details will be given on this later. To date, organizers have ar- ranged for a "double-decker" bus (just like those in England) to be in town during the Festival and it will make trips along streets pick- ing up people and bringing them into town. There will also be an English taxi available. In addition to the usual Mer- chants Street Market, a Carnival and various other activities taking place on the street, the Scugog Chamber of Commerce have se- cured Fitness Canada to set up their extensive display along Wa- ter Street. Here kids and adults of all ages can climb ropes, tumble, walk beams etc. testing their ath- letic ability. While all the details of Great Britain Festival Days have not been worked out, the following is an outline of what can be expected during these four fun-filled days. On Thursday, July 14, there will be Opening Ceremonies take place in Palmer Park on the bandstand. Following this in the huge Festival Tent, the Inn Crowd will return with a "British Bash". This Thursday night dance last" year proved to be one of the most popular of the weekend, as the Inn Crowd packed them in for their great sounds. In addition to the adult dance in the tent, there will be a Teen Vid- eo Dance in the "Barley Mow Pub" (better known as the Latch- am Centre) where they can listen to the latest hits and see videos on an eight-foot screen. Friday will be a great day for the kids with a "Teddy Bear" picnic, Polka Dot Door in the Festival Tent starting at 1:00 p.m. and lots of activities on the street. The Barley Mow Pub will open during the afternoon with real British style beer, grub and enter- tainment going on into the even- ing. Over in the Festival Tent, a King Henry VIII Feast will get underway at 6:00 p.m. complete sikkens Cetol 1 and Cetol 23 111-11 -- =: Slkkens with the King, wenches, strolling ministrals and court jesters. This should prove to be rollicking fun for everyone and should be one of the highlights of the weekend, Tickets for this event will be $18 per person and this includes the entire dinner; entertainment and dance following. On Saturday, the double-decker bus will be out and about bring- ing people to the lakefront to take part in the third annual Golden Griddle Breakfast. This popular event brings out hundreds and hundreds of people to have their breakfast at the lakefront. During the day there will be a Dart Tournament in the Barley Mow Pub (Latcham Centre), Arm Wrestling in the tent, Festival of Arts show and sale, model train and woodcarving displays, mer- chants auction sale, model kit contest and a variety of entertain- ment on the street. The weekends headliner takes place on Saturday night with "Beatlemania" suppling the music in the Festival Tent. "This is the original Beatlemania group, who packed O'Keefe Cen- trein Toronto on two occassions, and are currently on a tour of the United States. Tickets are expected to go quickly for this event and they will go on sale (advance sale only) starting May 14 from Em- merson Insurance office between 9:00 and 4:00 p.m. only. Cost of these tickets are $15.00 per per- son. This is one show you just won't want to miss. ~~ But if the Beatles just aren't your style, you might want to shuffle over to the Barley Mow Pub and take in the music and an- tics of the "Pearly Queens". This group puts on a show much like the old "Pig & Whistle Show" and should prove to be popular with many area residents. The entire weekend winds down Sunday afternoon with Port Per- ry's first ever Bagpipe Tattoo and Parade. The parade will begin at 2:00 p.m. at the high school and will wind its way through town to Palmer Park. Six Highland Bands will compete in Palmer Park with their bagpipes and highland danc- ers. In addition to all of this enter- tainment and fun that is lined up for local residents and visitors, two lucky couples will win one week trips to England by attend- ing either the Friday or Saturday nights cvents. The winners will be picked by 'lucky draw' and should add to the excitement of the weekend. All in all, it sounds like July 14, 15, 16, 17 will be a busy time around Port Perry, so make plans to take some time out to en- joy the activities. We know you'll have a great time. So the natural beauty of your exterior woodwork -- doesn't fade in the sunlight -- isn't damaged by moisture -- isn't hidden CENTRAL seal PAINT & WALLPAPER 295 Ritson Rd. S., OSHAWA 434-3939
