Dear Mayor Campbell & Council,
Re: "A Day at the Fair"

It was suggested to us by one of the Girectors of the PNE that an opportunity
may exist for one or all three of our municipalities to put ona "Coquitlam" or _
"Port Coquitlam" or "Port Moody" or perhaps a "District 43" day at the fair next year.

This year Richmond, Delta, anc Surrey for exemple, sponsored a day at the fair
in commemoration of their Centennial year cailed "Tri-Centennial Day." Amateur and
Professional entertainment filled the day with each of the three areas coordinating
a program of events. The PIE gave them the use of the Rothman outdeor theatre, PA
system etc, and featured their "Day" on the progrem. The three municipalities also
put on a tug of war and pole climbing competition, and sold souvenirs of their areas.

Would any or all of our municipalities care to participate in such an event?
In addition to entertainment, perhaps a few tables featuring industrial or comercial
development could be set. up. .

The Chamber would be happy to pursue this possibility further if any or all of
you express interest. Perhaps a coordinating committee could be set up with three
recreation departments.

Please let us know if you would like us to initiate some action in this regard.

Yours truly,

Serving...

J.R.E. Nicolson,

President
