Last year's Snowarama, a disaster, was cancelled due to lack of snow. "We had a Florida- like winter last year which means that we must have an even bigger and better Snow- arama this year,"' he said. 'Last year we had to cancel. We tried very hard to have a Snow- arama but the ice was not safe. In spite of that a few of us were out at the Latcham Centre with golf clubs. '""We have excellent snow conditions this year. There's no way we'll be forced to cancel and we hope to have as much participation as possible." . As Doris Hannah, Dis- trict Nurse, pointed out, the money raised by Snowarama, the Easter Seal"s single biggest fundraiser of the year, is put to good use. She has a caseload of 215 kids from the ages of 0 to 19 who are physically handicapped. Some of the money raised will send those kids to camp for 13 days this summer, 'at the cost of $500 each. Another five or six thousand could go to- wards a new electric wheelchair. And without the help of snowmobilers, this money wouldn't be raised. '""'Snowarama brings a new dimension to fund- raising. It brings out the individual and we couldn't do this without the snowmobiler,"' said Peter Arnott, from the Central Office of Easter Seals. "They're an interesting group of people, a warm group of people. '"'Snowarama is the most unique thing we do, the most fun, and Lord willing, we'll have a big group of people out." But the two stars of the evening were young Paul Cox, this year's "Timmy"', and his big friend, superstar Brian Budd. After a few minutes of joking with his audience, the former Toronto Blizzard player and three-time world champion of the Super- star contests, explained that he really didn't know why he travelled all over the province talking about Easter Seals. "You know, I'm not 100 percent sure, exce pt for the little fellah who 0) sitting right there," he said, gesturing to Timmy. And about Snowarama he added, "I don't think there's anything better they could possibly do." For more information call Dave Ballingall of the Port Perry Snow- mobile Club at 985-2834.
