Behind the scenes

When we start thinking of kids
heading back to school and can
just remember the taste of a bar-
becued steak or the crack of a fly
ball, the Riverboat Days com-
mittee is already planning next
year’s festivities.

Behind the fun, colour and
celebration of Riverboat Days is a
ycar’s worth of meetings, sched-
ules, contracis,- and telephone
calls by commitice volunteers.

The committee does not
organize individual events. In-
stead, ‘its members contact groups
interested in Riverboat Days and

"then draws: up a schedule for ail
-events over the five-day period,

Mary Ann Burdett, committee
vice president and longtime
volunteer, notes the group is

responsible for scheduling, ad- .

verlising and co-ordinating the
event,

She says the Riverboat Days
society works as an umbrella
committee for clubs and small
businesses that want to get in-
volved.

**We're always looking for new
things,” says Burdett.

“°You try and retain some of the
good features you have - the trick
is to get somebody to sponsor the .
events.” :

Riverboat Days was started by
the Centennial Lions Club. In
1983, the Royal Canadian Legion
began organizing the festival.

“Tt was intended to put usin.

with Smithers and Prince Rupert
and other places in B.C, that have
their own festivals,” says Bur-
deit.

About seven people make up.

ihe committee, including. Presi-
dent Maria Thompson and vice

presidents Burdett and Gayle~

Holtom, along with a treasurer
and a secretary... -

Burdett notes that . the same

people have been involved with
the committee for many years.

She encourages more people to -

become involved,

“We could use approximate!

15 members,”’ :

No doubt, when we're scrub--
bing the barbecue sauce fram our”

shirts in a few weeks, the com-

mittee will already. be thinking.

about next year’s plans.
