smoothly that Id be amiss not to Weve had few days to sit back and assess the project Weve also had the chance to get feedback from some of the over 1000 Barrie and area spectators which made the trip to And we like what we hear The comments from all corners Barrie set record by the Blue Jays standards by being the largest community group to attend one of their home games which is some feat considering the days have established record for single season attendance by an The Blue Jays were impressed Mike Nash manager of the Jays Group Sales Department and with whom The Ev aminer worked closely with to put Barrie flay together was taken by surprise by the enthusiasm with which the people of Simcoe County got behind the idea Ill tell you now in all honesty that had it not been for lot of people working together and for the cooixration ot the fans which made the trip the day would have been fiasco They rc the ones who deserve pat on the back The tide of humanity we epected to descend on Bay field Street in front of The Evaminer offices early Sunday iust The people came found their buses and got on And there they sat patiently to get underway tfor the most part There were few minor hitches which were worked out along the wag couple of persons forgot their bus numbers then there was one bUs with eight too Inany But in all cases everyone calmly accepted any changes which were It was good day all round and it felt good to let those other iitooo know where we were from We have to give it special nod to Tom Iark tenor anti ac cordiomst Bill Burnette both of Barrie farks
