A> 'a PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., August 19, 1981 -- 21 Playground Blackstock Playground by Jodi Timgren Sadly the summer comes to an end. Although the children might not remem- ber the whole summer, they will remember the happy times, the fun times, the embarrassment and most of the hard work that they put into the fund raising. At this point in time I would like to thank a very special number of people that contributed to play- ground with their hospitality and kindness. Mrs. Hooge- veen, George Freeman and associates and the parents who participated in our fund raisers and trips, are the ones we would like to give our highest appreciation. I would also like to thank my assistants who worked very hard. Each year as I've worked with children the rewards are even more sub- stantial and I do believe '"'we can learn a lot from children." Scugog Island by Sandra Heayn Starting Fantasy Week off with a bang was our exciting trip to Ontario place, Monday. A dream come true was the children's village where the children were amused for hours on end. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were filled mainly with preparations for "exhibition 81" that took place on Thursday. In case you missed the festivities, Scugog Island Playground marched down Queen Street dressed as lolly pops and followed by our float based on the Cinderella Theme. After the parade everyone enjoyed a barbecue lunch. The children displayed their musical talents by singing: "The Candy Man"' accompanied by Kathy Irvine. To wrap up this year's summer playground we had a pizza party on Friday, which was enjoyed by all! We would like to thank everyone involved in this year's playground for making it such a success! Hope to see you all next year! Bye for now! Kathy, Joanne, Sandra.' Port Perry 5th week Last week the force was with us. On Tuesday, Tower productions presented a "space oddyessy'"'. In the morning we saw "Star Wars' followed by 'The Empire Strikes Back" in the afternoon. We also had an intermission featuring a Cape Canaveral presenta- tion by Ian Hunter. The point of the week came Wednesday when Elizabeth Jennings demonstrated great patience in teaching the kids basic needlepoint techniques. The trip we've been saving for, finally came Thursday, when we saw the sights of Lindsay. Our tour began with lunch at McDonnell Park, we then saw the Lindsay locks at work. To conclude the day, Kawartha Summer Theatre enter- tained us with the child's play 'A Snowflake for Elmo." Friday was our busy day as we went to a parade at Western Weekend, made candles, went swimming and played baseball. Speaking of baseball, the upset of the year came when Prince Albert annihilated the Port Panthers with a surprising victory of 5-2. Thanks to all those who participated in the play- ground raffle. We raised a total of $154.00. Our lucky winner was Ruth Strong. Congratulations on winning a year's subscription to the Port Perry Star. 6th week The last week of play- ground was largely spent preparing for our big finale which was Thursday. The older kids kept themselves busy by making baseball shirts for the final game against Prince Albert. They also spent many hours of practice with coach Todd. All the teams efforts were rewarded in the end as the Port Panthers were victorious, beating Prince Albert 8-3. Congratulations team! The 4-6 year olds were equally successful in their song and dramatization of "Robin in the Rain." They spent many weeks rehearsing for the event. The parade down Queen Street was also a great achievement. The space rocket, surrounded by 30 space patrolers was the highlight of Port Perry's parade contribution. The favoured. event of the day however was the barbecue. All the play- grounders enjoyed a lunch of hot dogs, potato chips, pretzels, and apple juice. For desert we had a famous Hawks Cake (which wasn't even chocolate). The last day of play- ground. To celebrate the conclusion of a very short 6 weeks. We had a day of fun and varied events. The major portion of the morning was spent watching films and munching on popcorn. In the afternoon, after our usual swim we came back to the Scaut Hall for a Cookie and Quench Party. What a way to end the summer.! Thanks kids and parents for an enjoyable, successful 6 weeks. Four 1981 Playground Staff.
