Chamber Needs Volunteers To Work At Crafts Fair The Yancey County Cham ber of Commerce is in the process of recruiting volun teers to work in the 21st annual Mt. Mitchell Crafts Fair to be held on the Square August 5 and 6. In order to carry out an event of tnis size, it is necessary to have the assis tance of about 200 men, women and children from the community at large. Those volunteering to help with the Fair can expect a good deal of hard work, a comparable amount of fun and a genuine sense of accomplishment when the weekend is over. Some of the jobs to be filled will be working in the concession stand a greater part of both days. One of the more pleasant and rewarding duties is occupying the Chamber of Commerce booth offering information and as sistance to guests. Perhaps the hottest and hardest work involves the barbecuing of chicken on Saturday. Tradi tionally this task has been done by a small group who truly enjoy their work. Barbe cuing is a skill that others would do well to learn. The ladies who serve the dinner are some of the best ambassa dors the community has to offer. Some may wondef why a small community would at tempt to carry out a venture of this size. One of the simpler reasons is that it has been going on for twenty years and those who have annually enjoyed the festivities would suffer from its absence. But beyond the tradition, there is the need on the part of the community itself to display some of the genuine hospita lity that is lost in mechanized society. These are people who feel that their way of life is different, perhaps better and it should be demonstrated to m W.W W *JSRBr d g.'S y IP *«i \ /1 |9 #*iiißr J 19 1 imuSMl fc I A n f(r " v wkmL i ji^§ if Jr . - .; L/K;, I*- "• I** i sf*j/k ' npw ..' *% f t* ' §£ I c M* K.* -■_ }V «( Wb ,V WHk B • - L JF igkx > Jfefla B3SS*.

CACTUS FLOWER will run for four nights only, Wednes day through Saturday, July 20-23 and is directed by Dr. Jack Brooking of Decatur, Georgia. Dr. Brooking follows Lou Criscuolo from THE EDGE OF NIGHT as director at Burnsville's summer stock operation. Brooking, an out standing man of the theatre, has acted and directed in many parts of the world. He has performed for the Inter national Theatre Institute in Bucharest, Rumania with a seven-member improvisation team and directed a Spanish production of LOOK HOME WARD ANGEL in Guatemala City. He is associated with Agnes-Scott College and re cently performed the role of Gromio in TAMING OF THE SHREW. As a person ‘‘with diverse interests,” he finds directing more challengkg than performing. Aside from theatre, Brooking is a painter and weaver of “ojos.” “We’re trying for a zany feeling of New York and ‘The Big Apple’ in this play. The script is also rich in character study-it’s going to be a challenging and fun show. CACTUS FLOWER, often associated with the movie starring Goldie Hawn, is the story of a romantic quad rangle among a middle-aged dentist in pursuit of a pretty coed whc is pursued by her handsome author-neighbor, Igor. The devoted secretary, Stephanie, who blooms within the action of the play as does the flower of the title-plant, completes the formula for confusion and laughter. Judith Sapp and Paul Yuell, professional actors from Greensboro, North Caro lina occupy leading roles, supported by Pat McLean and Robert Pritchard from Park- everything from folk to the top 40.
