History Fair will feature display -- Old photographs, venerable buildings, a blackened maple syrup kettle, treasured family documents and beloved family members--they all have stories to tell. In this Bicentennial year, young people from the Penetanguishene area are being encouraged to listen to and record the lore they learn from such cources. Such documentation could well produce an entry for the third annual Penetanguishene History Fair, co-sponsored by the Historic Naval and Military Military Establishments and Heritage Penetanguishene. The Fair dates are May 30, 31 and June 1. Featured will be a special Bicentennial display from the Ontario Bicentennial Commission as well as a number of local heritage organizations. All students of Penetanguishene elemen- tary and secondary schools are eligible and entries may be in French or English. Projects must relate in some way to the history of Penetanguishene and surrounding area - its peoples, structures, way of life and culture. Entry forms have been forwarded to schools and must be returned (completed) no later than May 25. Last year, 15 prizes were awarded. In addition to the general awards and Establish- ments-related awards, this year the Descendants of the Establishments Organization is offering special awards for genealogy projects. 'The French Centre is recognizing the best contribution in French with a apeical award. As well, the Penetanguishene Museum is offering an award for a project or essay on lumbering or the Beck Lumber Company. Michelle Quealey is the Huronia Historical Parks Resource Librarian and co-ordinator of the History Fair. She hope the Bicentennial edition of the Fair will see broader par- ticipation and adds that such _ historical research can be fun. "I urge students to look at their families, their communities, their culture. There is such a wide range of what history can mean." Ms. Quealey recalls one entry last year which focussed on the history of the Beck Lumber Mill hockey team, complete with old skates and photos. Other entrants submitted detailed three- dimensional models of their streets and communities. "One I especially remember," she says, "featured a study of local grave markers with rubbings and information on different kinds of stones."
