FROZEN YOGURT & ICE CREAM INC. Money raised at Aritfest goes to hospital fund By J. Peter Hvidsten Port Perry Star Artfest '92 is history, and members of the Rotary Club of Port Perry are calling it the most successful event since it was started four years ago. Assessing the outcome late Sunday afternoon, as the 50 artists began dismanteling their booths, President Karl Herder told the Star he felt they should be close to raising their objective. Much of the money raised by the Rotary Club through Artfest, which is their largest fund raising event of the year, is committed towards a $50,000 donation to the hospital expansion fund. While Rotary officials were a little disappointed with the crowds attending Artfest, they were pleased with the number of art pieces sold during the two day show. The exact number of sales were unavailable, but it is believed they were up considerably from the previous year. The Star spoke with a number of the participating artists Sunday afternoon and was told they were happy with the show, despite the number attending, which is estimated at just over 1,000 people, and planned to return next year. While crowds were less than hoped for at the show, a capacity crowd attended the popular Artfest Dinner and Auction held in the Catholic Church hall. Over 100 items were on the auction block during the evening with many of the art pieces going at bargain prices.

MC Chuck Dewhirst kept the evening rolling with his wit, injecting just the right amount of humor to keep the crowds attention. The Rotary Club honored Arfest '92 organizers Kent Farndale and Fran Herder for their extensive work in contacting artists and securing art pieces for the auction. "Artfest just wouldn't happen if it was not for the efforts of these two women." Mr. Dewhirst said. Also honored were Brenda Mayes for her work in setting up the Rotary Memory Lane, an nostalgic look at the past ten years of Rotary events, Michael Boyce, the 1991-1992 Easter Seals "Timmy" for the Scugog-Uxbridge area, was at the Rotary Artfest on the week- end as an ambassador for Easter Seals. Michael's mom, Bren- da Boyce, is pictured with him. A. OPPERS LTD. and Sheila Goodwin who is an active member and secretary of the Artfest committee. When the Star spoke with Artfest treasurer Jim Law- rence Monday morning he estimated the club should see a profit of about $12,000 for the event. This falls a little short of projections, but considering the economy, officials were pleased. Winner of the door prizes, framed prints donated by Framers Gallery, were C. Kosmack of Agincourt and Trudi Young of Port Perry. A four day, three night trip for two to Las Vegas was won by Frank McViker, the CIBC District Manager for Durham Region, who lives in Oshawa. The ticket was drawn by Mayor Howard Hall.
