They believe tbey bave found that facility at the* Brooklin Memorial Park. However, one problem bas armen whicb may hamper the Cook-Off moving to the Brooklin Park. Representatives -of CR00 Radio, wbich holds the event and the Brooklin District Lions, wbo wili mun tbe event, appeared before the town's operation com- mittee on Monday nigbt requesting the cook-off be held the first weekend after the May 24 weekend - the weekend before tbe Brooklin Spring Fair. "lWe want to grow but we're hampered witb the size of Heydensbore and tbe only place that bas the necessary facilities (an arena and grounds) is the Brooklin Park," Lorna Braid the General Manager of CR00 radio told mem- bers of the committee. But councillors, wbile tbey agreed the park was the perfect location for tbe cook-off, stated concerns with the closeness of the two events. "'That is tbe best place for it but it would be tbe biggest disservice to the people of Brooklin and the property. That is the worst thing in the world we could do allowing them back to back," said councillor Ross Batten. A report fromn the Parks and Recreation report also perceived problems involving, traffic, disrupting spor- ting events, tbe fact both service liquor and both provide musical entertairnent.

She argued many people go to open tbeir cottages on that weekend and the weekend after there is no otber fund raising event being held in the area. "It would be contrary for us to support other events and hold tbe cook-off on the same day," said Braid. A settlement of sorts was reached when Braid was asked to look into holding the event tbe weekend prior to the long weekend. She wil report back to tbe committee in two weeks.
