The three stages at the fair grounds accommodated the bands and the capacity crowd sitting in the sun at the Main Stage or. crowded into the shade of the bleachers or the covered seating of Stage 3 — or wandered between the two to try to catch the per- formances playing simultaneously. The beat of the rhythm brought spontaneous participation from the spectators and often impromptu dancing in the area around the stage, from youngest child to sen- ior citizen —- by Sunday evening creating a dust storm as the grass wore down from their dancing feet. More than 50 groups entertained during the weekend with every- thing from old time jazz through rock and roll, bluegrass, country and Celtic to folk and a cappella singing. Taj Mahal from the USA with his earthy blues music drew large audiences to his dynamic perform- ances Saturday and Sunday. Bourne and MacLeod with the unusual combination of country blues guitar and Highland bagpipe brought everyone into the rhythm and drew rounds of encores. — Shari Ulrich from the Gulf ‘Islands, with her keyboardist Morry Steams, drew as large a response in a more. hushed envi- ronment as she played her range of instruments and original songs. Celtic music was provided by John Allan Cameron from Cape Breton. Terrace’s own —- Dunluce featuring three Sheridan brothers, Danny, Gordie and Wayne, with Bill Davidson and Roger Carling- Kelly, received enthusiastic crowd response and encores. Karin Ljungh, also of Terrace, reacted to her audiences’ approval with con- spicuous success. There were groups from through- out the northwest, with more than thirty from the Smithers area, the Queen Charlottes, Prince George, Alberta, the Maritimes, Vancouver and the lower mainland. Two other entertainers from Terrace, the Range Rockers, with Peter Turner and Chris James, and Country Fiddler Bobby Ball, gave great performances. Workshops were held during the Festival, with prominent players sharing their skills. Another engag- ing feature of the Festival was the Hat Bands — all musicians put their names in the hat for a draw, and each six names drawn at ran- dom formed a band — some prac- tices, some didn’t, but it made great fun. The children had a grand time. When they tired of sitting listen- ing, or dancing, they went off to their special section, to woodcraft and art projects and to their own unique performances. No fair would be complete with- out food. There were booths with chicken and ribs, hamburgers, salads, hot dogs, stir fries, chips and lots of cool drinks. Crafts, too, were an integral part of the fair, displayed in the surrounding bams. Saturday night, campers and visitors sang and danced ’til late (or carly) hours. The highly suc- cessful Festival of song and thythm continued from Friday evening through to late Sunday when the crowds reluctantly gave up calling for encores. They gathered up their families and belongings to wend their satisfied way slowly homeward. And in the closing hours of the Festival, Mother Nature added her own sound and fury with crack and rumble of thunder and spectacular flashes of lightning. —,— BI » - THE BAVARIAN INN RESTAURANT Specials Crab Leg Dinner only $12.95 Steak and Crab Legs only $1 5.95, LUNCH - Tues-Friday 11:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. DINNER - Mon thru’ Sun 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. Reservations recommended Call 635-9161 Be sure and visit THE BACK EDDY PUB SUNDAY BRUNCH 11 am. - 2:30 p.m. Kitchen open 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. dally Fri-Sat 11 a.m. - 1 a.m. as, Mon-Thurs 11 a.m, - 12 p.m. Terrace Review — Wednesday, July 3, 1991 B13 5 TERRACE’S OWN DUNLUCE featured Danny, Gordie and Wayne Sheridan, Bill Davidson and Roger Carling-Kelly at the recent Smithers’ Midsummer Festival.

The old man died before Edward was complete; in place of hands, Edward had to make do with sharp metal shears. Poor Edward lived alone in the castle for a long, long time, until one day Peg (Wiest), a kind- hearted Avon lady from Suburbia, found him and took him home to live with her family.
