Guides, Scouts and their parents and friends. And what a show it was I First, they were bewitched by a red-headed clown with outsized sunglasses who set the atmosphere with his lighthearted lighthearted cavorting and delightful delightful English accent. My daughter daughter was fascinated with nis sandy beard. Who ever heard of a clown with a beard! Participation and anticipation anticipation were heightened by the beautiful voice of Alana Coles as she guided us through some of our favourite songs. Her agility with a three "song" round fascinated those of us who aspire to lead our groups through the paces of a simple round song with some degree of success, while "The Magic Penny" proved a heart-warming heart-warming favourite, At last came the moment everyone was waiting for - enter the Magician, What - no tuxedo I Keitn Stevenson, the amiable magician from Toronto, prefers a jester's costume from which he produced produced a bag of tricks spiced liberally with audience participation participation and just plain old 1'keep em waiting" aggravation, aggravation, Magic and children went hand in hand to ensure a very good time, The show was rounded off by the superb performance of two young magicians who gave us their rendition of popular pieces on a guitar and a banjo, Sally Shortt, reported to be the youngest champion banjo player in Canada, certainly lived up to her reputation and was well supported by her accompanist Rob Gunter on guitar. What child doesn't appreciate such a good demonstration of talent? Last Thursday night certainly certainly left everyone in anticipation anticipation of the next "big show" Much deserved credit should go to the organization by the group committee and total co-operative effort of the committee and its scouting leaders and last but not least to the 9th Bowmanville Scouts for the excellent clean-up job. Well done everyone!
