Penetanguishene Summer Festival gearing up and all set to go!!! As festival fever grows around the area, the chamber is receiving more and more calls about events, accommodations, and registration. It now seems a reality to see the Penetanguishene Summer Festival as the first annual festival. Our blue schedule has been distributed throughout the area, but you will also be able to find a last minute up-to-date program in this paper just before the week's activities begin. June 28 - July 4 is also Heritage Week, and you are urged to look through your closets for those old centennial costumes. Long gowns, arm-bands and straw hats are part of the historical image and that's appropriate for our celebration. The Festival Snooker Tournament at Ken's Billiards on Main Street, is now receiving registrations. The prizes are registration is already keen, but there is still room for your registration. Other games you can take part in during the Festival. The Penetanguishene Old Timers will be sponsoring games of chance outdoors at the curling club July 1, so plan now on trying your hand and the Fire Department will be holding their own competition of water-ball. That's a fire hose event and last year several excited women donned raincoats and boots to shoot the ball back and forth across the cable. In the process, onlookers and opponents shared the laughs and the spray. That competition will be held at 2;00 p.m. near the Curling Club. Another fire department contribution to the Festival will be the free fire truck rides for kids. Remember how you always wanted to ride the fire truck?
