B8 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 15, 1990

Heritage Park was probably the most authentic place to be during Riverboat Days. There, a person goes back in time to the days when riverboats went up and down the Skeena. This was the only means of travel to get out of town, before the tailroad was pushed through.

The ‘‘Music in the Park” day was another unqualified — success. The atomsphere was friendly and relaxed. Over 600 people passed through the gates during the afternoon. The park looked like a small town. Almost every cabin was oc- cupied, and the front porches were busy places.

Marlene Stokkeland displayed her quilting and Bauern Malerei (German Folk art), Marten De Hoog brought an observation hive and bee display and showed an ap- preciative crowd what happens when the bees are in the pro- cess of making honey. The peo- ple of Country Charms in Ter- race and the Kermode Gift Centre in Hazelton brought in their handmade crafts and gifts and transformed the dancehall into an old fashioned store.

The Linemans Cabin just would not be the same without Pierre and Barbara La Ross and their sons Toni and Phillip. Homemade soup, fresh-baked buns and the old- time atmosphere brought many visitors to the cabin, Brian Penman, of the Terrace Trap- - pers Assn. held the fort at the Trappers Cabin. He was kept busy talking about a whole dif- ferent lifestyle. Marvin Hawke, Pierre La Ross and Jim Allen entertained the crowd with music played on the bagpipes. Rene Therrien and Jack Desjar- din played some good old fashioned tunes. There is something very special about old time fiddle music.

Always a big hit with everybody are Jim Ryan and the Terrace Community Band, playing many old favourites. The very popular duo of Vicki and Tania Parviainen made dancing the Can Can look easy. They do it so well. Solveig, Doug and Ken Adair sat in the shadow of the Hotsprings Cabin with their bunny rabbits, much to the delight of many youngsters.

It is all these people, who give so generously of their time and talent that makes Music in the Park the success it is.

Strains of old-fashioned music from the bowed strings of Rene Therrien, accompanied by Jack Desjardin, drifted across Heritage Park: during. the Riverboat Days weekend as local people

immersed their sense in the area's history.

During Riverboat Days, where would a living repository of history like Ted Johnston-be found but at Heritage Park? Johnston discussed the old days around Terrace with passers-by, his recently completed book Pioneers of the Terrace Area, 1890-1918 on display. The book can be seen at the

museum.
