Of course we mean THE FESTIVAL at Sidney School on Fri., June 5, from 7 to 9p.m. The first hour will be devoted to en- tertainment wherein. Mrs. Lassfolk and her staff work magic. The magic is present- ing a program which tries to’ - allow the school’s 606 children to each make an appearance of some sort, in the multi- . farious schedule. of events. Following the program there will be an hour of intensive activity as the stalls open for business. Rather than vary the stalls too much, the Sidney P.T.A. has come to specialize in certain areas, Thus you will find only three main stalls, - home cooking, plants, and white elephant, - but with such quantity and. quality as-is . seldom — seen, 7 Another area will specialize in activities for the younger set, with a Penny Arcade and lots of bargains and prizes. {ff - .- the -hectic. pace of. festival — stimulates your appetite, we DOING IN P.T.A. will have refreshment areas to satisfy that need also. If you have not. yet pur- chased tickets on the portable TV set being raffled, be sure and get them before the Stn. These tickets are obtainable from all pupils of Sidney School. So whether you are parents, grandparents; or. just: ndividuals with nothing to do on Friday evening, come along and enjoy yourselves. The event is completely open — to the public, and. we will be delighted to see YOU there!" ee ee ee a ae ee aed ae a en ee ee eee PHONE ‘Brian Ferguson 388-6281 IN THE HILLSIDE.
