It Was A Celebration Long To » Remembered Port Perry Centennial Celebrations, advertised as five fun-filled days, not onty lived up to the slogan, but went far beyond this and will no doubt go } down in history as the most successful events since the incorporation of the Village 100 years ago. From the beginning at 2 p.m., Wednesday, June 9 until the final event was completed, the interdenominational Church Service in Palmer Park, Sunday, June 13, there was avivid exhuberance and keen desire of participation among » wisitors and Villagers alike, without comparision to anything experienced "tt's fantastic," ... . . . It's unbelieveable" .. . .. - "Never seen anything like itt" ....... it'sthemost wonderful thing ever happened to Port Perry." These were just a few of the many spontaneous out-bursts heard on the » Streets during the wonderful five days of celebrations. When the official opening ceremonies started in the afternoon on Wednes- day a number of dignitaries and the Canadian Forces Band from Trenton filled" the large stage erected on the edge of Water Street facing Lake Scugog. Among those present were Norman Cafik, Federal M.P., for Ontario Rid- * ing; DOr. M.B. Dymond, representing Ontario Riding, Provincially; John Williams, Warden of Ontario County; George Edgar, Chief of Scugog Reserve, Mississauga Indians; Dr. Wm. Cohoon, President of Port Perry Chamber of Commerce; Robert Kenny, Reeve of Port Perry; Rev. R.C. Rose, Minister of the Anglican Church of Ascension. .
