Page 8 The Gazette , *, * *W *a Bfc*3 a L -mum Young Canadians gathered in Didsbury this week as the Mountain View County celebrate Canada Day with song, bands, clowns and lots of flags. midsummer midseason The Tourism Action Committee is drawing on history to help their Tourism Information Centre out of the mid- season doldrums. After being open since May the TIC, as it's affectionately called, held an open house this week with a Midsummer's Night Festival as their theme. TIC worker, Joy ScheUenberg said it's an attempt by the Tourism Action Committee (TAC) to get people to know where the centre is. Just recently Doris Dyer, chairman of TAC, urged Olds town council to do something about the visibility of TIC. Visitors, travelling west, can't see the centre for the trees, and once they do see it they've driven past it. And that time Dyer said nothing was happening at TIC. To date about 250 people have visited the centre, their guest book shows. People from as far away as China and Scotland have scrawled their names on the list, but most visitors on the book registered their permanent address as Olds. The Midsummer's Night Festival harkens back to a time when huge food festivals were held to celebrate the summer and affairs of the heart. People ate, wore masks and sang songs. In keeping with that theme, visitors were encouraged to draw their own festivity masks out of materials on display, entered their name in for a draw for their own Food festival'' and were treated to a wide array of finger-food on hand. Wednesday, June 28, 1989 In one hour the centre had drawn in about 10 people, ScheUenberg said. But she is not pessimistic about the centre's season to date, saying that once the trees and signs are corrected the information centre will be busy. Co-worker Jennifer Doering said that quite a few people use the centre to ask specific questions, not just to ask: What's Olds like anyways? In total 50 visitors took in the open house. Joe Kasawal, of Olds, was the winner of the * . He Midsummer's Night * T * aim ?, , ., Ar u l ** lt; Interview when Festival draw held on *. worntm - ,-, open house night. that the job was his.

The conversation went smoothly and after an hour, fear end trepidation had been replaced by enthusiasm about the about to handbell ringers festival to be held The bells will ring out when over 100 handbell enthusiasts gather at Olds College July 5-8 for a rare music festival. Ringers are coming from all across western Canada, according to Rufus ScheUenberg, chairman of the festival organizing committee, some people are coming from as far away as California and Kansas. One of the highlights for all participants will be the Massed Ringing. Under the direction of two top-notch directors Kay Hostetler-Cook and Marcy Winter - all the ringers wiU rehearse as one gigantic handbell choir for a grand finale performance on Saturday afternoon. Kay Hostetler-Cook directs 14 handbell choirs in Phoenix, Arizona. The musical excellence demonstrated by the choirs she works with is incredible. Marcy Winter directs numerous choirs in Medford. Oregon and has been a driving force in the organization of many festivals in the northwestern United States. The warmth and enthusiasm of both these ladies is sure to inspire all the ringers at the festival A very exciting part of the final concert will be the world premiere performance of Canadian Folkloric Suite . Bruce Wheatcroft, an Edmonton organist, has composed the piece especially for this festival Participants also have the opportunity to attend all kinds of different workshops throughout the festival. They wiU work on perfecting their ringing techniques with the guest directors and six talented Albertan clinicians. Participating choirs will also be able to show their musical skills in mini-concerts for the rest of the participants. This is the first time a festival like this has been held outside a major centre in Alberta. People on the committee were a bit skeptical about holding such an event in Olds, laughs Rufus ScheUenberg, but once they saw the CoUege and the town, they feU in love with the place. Now they are telling everyone it is absolutely perfect for the festival. The Final Concert is the perfect way for the people of the community to hear the results of the festival Wonderful music and excellent performances are in store for all those who take in the grand finale in the CoUege gymnasium.
