There were also bands, dancers on the feature stage and free elephant elephant rides on Angus, a special guest from the Bowmanville Zoo. For kids on the outer edge of the Centennial Square, there was a wolf cub, a lion cub and a python to look at and touch from Orono Cat World. The python was an appealing exhibit exhibit later in the day. As the festivities festivities were ending, he shed his skin, skin. ~ There were also booths set up from Durham Farm Fresh, the Visual Visual Arts Centre, the Clarington Museums, Museums, the Municipality of Clarington Clarington and Durham Region. Ruth Sedgewick, of the Visual Arts Centre, demonstrated silk painting for passers-by along Centennial Centennial Square. Stretched out on a frame was a white piece of silk to which she was adding colors. She received many questions about the technique especially when she placed salt on the painted areas to bleed the color. In the large gazebo the Clarington Clarington Concert Band started off the day's activities by playing many favorites, favorites, including a few show tunes. Next were the members of the Bowmanville Fiddle & Dance Society. Society. Twelve-year-old Mark Sullivan wowed the crowd with his precise fiddle-playing while Betty Anne's voice soared above the listeners. The Country Four Barbershop Quartet led folks down memory lane as they sang about taking a couple of ladies down the garden path and around a bend or two. A blend of Sinatra Sinatra show tunes livened up the crowd in front of the Feature Stage. Next on were some of the members members of the Theatre Dance Academy. The spotted costumed children dancing to a fast-paced rap song won the hearts of the viewers. Their dips, dives, splits and twists to the beat of the music had people bopping bopping in their seats. Jenn Dejong and Chris Mooyer's performance will probably send lots of folks back to ballroom dancing programs with hopes of dancing like those two. Next were the Ganaraska County Cloggers. Their down-home music had folks tapping their feet and clapping clapping their hands. Chaser, the group in which local businessman, Ron Hooper, plays drums and sings, was a definite hit with the crowd. Chaser added their own brand of music to the day's events. Half way through the day, a shower interrupted the festivities and sent people scattering for cover. However, the disturbance didn't dampen the spirits of those attending attending or those putting on the shows. After a quick wipe-down of the benches by audience members, the shows went on as planned. Earlier in the morning, visitors to the CNE were treated to the arrival of Angus the elephant after his three-hour walk to the CNE from the radio station Q107 located at Sheppard and Yonge Streets. Riding atop the huge creature was Jake Edwards, Q107's morning man. Edwards delivered a large wood key representing the 500 keys to be given away in a joint promotion of Q107 with Aspen Springs. The station station and the developer Bill Daniels will be giving away a dream home. The estimated price tag of $225,000 includes furnishings. Over the month, Q107 will be in Bowmanville for four hours each day to broadcast live programs. Res idents will be invited to drop by Aspen Aspen Springs. When listeners hear the Q, they're invited to call Q107. The 107th caller will win one of the 500 keys to try in the lock of the new house. As the Clarington CAO said: "It is my understanding that this is the biggest give-away in radio history." He called this high-profile promotion promotion one that will increase people's people's awareness in the Municipality of Clarington. During the shows, the on-air personalities personalities will be giving information on up-coming events, including the Ontario Rodeo Association event on Sept. 24 and 25, the up-coming Orono Orono Fair and Apple Festival. "Our job is going to be to feed them with information and they will hype the events," Stockwell said.
