x "A Family Tradition for 126 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 9, 1992 - 17 / A Plans well underway for Festival Days By Marnie Luke Port Perry Star There'll be no excuse not to celebrate next month during Port Perry's Festival Days. It's Canada's 125th birthday, and Festival Days' 20th anni- versary, so take your pick. The festivities, with the theme "Country '92", will run from July 9 to 11. Festival Days president Ken Carruthers said the Scugog Chamber of Commerce has tried to make this year's events more family-oriented. "We've included many events that will bring out the whole family. Festival Days has something for everyone this year," he said. Among the events planned will be a special performance by Polka-Dot Door on Friday in the main tent. Children will also be enter- tained by Rainbow the Clown and a magician at the Queen St. stage. Pioneer Days takes a step back in history By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star "Good family fun at a reason- able price" is the way Kim Harp- er, Scugog Shores Museum Cu- rator, describes the upcoming Pioneer Days at the museum. , The museum's annual event 1s scheduled for June 20 and 21. Mrs. Harper says she is ex- pecting more than 2,000 people to "experience the village" dur- ing the two-day event. "It's a family weekend," she says. "It's good family fun at a reasonable price." Pioneer Days will offer many events to the people that will al- low them to slip back into the days gone by. The scheduled events include rope making demonstrations, basket making demonstrations, spinners and weavers, native crafts, butter making demon- stration and hot scones, a pet- ting zoo, pony and hay rides and a log sawing and nail driving contest. Mrs. Harper says the nail driving and log sawing contests ~ will really bring back the atmos- phere of the past. "We're literally sharpening up one of our old saws," she says. A musical program is also scheduled which Mrs. Harper says will "bring the music alive." The planned musicians in- clude two brass ensembles, the Golden Slippers and a local clog- ginggroup. Mrs. Harper says the week- end should prove to be the right tonic for a body. Memorial services "Things are too hectic right now. People should come out and experience when days wer- . en't as difficult as right now," she said. Following the removal of the teen tent, many youths com- plained Festival Days no longer offered events for their age group. But Mr. Carruthers said there will be a western-style teen dance on Thursday night, a fashion show and an aerobics demonstration, all put on by teens. Back by popular demand for the adults, the Karaoke event will be taking place on all three nights. Featured in the main tent on Friday night will be a country amateur talent contest, along with the country-western band Warren Satcliffe and Blue Steel. And on Saturday night, the tent will feature the '50s and '60s band Andy Isles and the Stingrays. Admission into the tent will be $2 on Thursday night, and $5 on Friday nights. The Latcham Centre will be- come the 'Latcham Saloon', where Patti's Kitchen will be serving up some down home country food. Many of the regular attrac- tions will also take place this year, such as the midway, Mutt Show, Kiddie Parade, and Arm Wrestling competition. Last year's Arm Wrestling event drew the largest crowd in its six year history, and this year's competition is expected to do even better. CHOO Radio will be broad- casting live from Queen St. on Friday and Saturday. An auction sale will be held once again on the Queen St. stage on Friday at 7:30 p.m. The auctioneer will be Bruce Kellett, and the auction will feature a wide variety of items from various local stores. and Saturday Last year's event raised $2,600 for the Chamber of Com- merce fund, and this year's is expected to raise $3,000. And to help raise funds for the Community Memorial Hos- pital, it's just a penny per vote in the 'Best of the West' contest. Scugog residents can start thinking about their nomina- tions in the following catago- ries: Best West Baby, Best West Belle, Best West Villain, Best West 'Senior, and Best West Businessperson. Festival Days' secretary- treasurer Bill Barr said this year's events may attract as many as 30,000 people. He said many of the events are free or relatively inexpen- sive. "Everyone's under pressure because of the economy right now. During Festival Days, they can come down to the festi- val tent and let loose," he said.
