Local Color is a new News col-
umn that will provide regular
coverage of local celebrations, his-
tories and personalities,

The first Local Color install-
ment, which will be written by
News reporter and Ecolnfo col-
umnist Pesev Trendell-Whittaker,
takes a look at Edgemont Village.

Reader input to Local Color is
encouraged. Call the News editori-
al department at 985-2131 or ad-
dress information to Local Color,
the North Shore News, 1139
Lonsdale Ave.. North Vancouver,
V7M 2H4.

SATURDAY WILL be the
first Edgemont Village June
Day for Colleen and Peter
Schweigler, but to them is
entrusted perhaps the cele-
bration’s most weighty re-
sponsibility.

No, they aren’t in charge of get-
ting the weather to cooperate. As
the new owners of the Danish
Pastry Shop, the Schweiglers are in
charge of creating the huge cake
thar will be cut up by North Van-
couver District Mayor Marilyn
Baker and shared by all the
revellers who will be gathered on
June 9 to celebrate the sixth annual
Edgemont Village June Day.

In case anyone is counting, it is,
in fact, the seventh June Day, but
because the first time an event is
staged it is not considered an an-
nual event, this year the merchants
are marking the sixth annual June
Day celebration.

Colleen Schweigler — whose
bakery is also providing the 40
dozen hot dog buns that will be
consumed at the refreshinent stand
— says she and Peter love the
village atmosphere at Edgemont
and are already getting to know
several of their customers per-
sonally.

Edgemont Village Day
fun is a piece of cake

Unlike some shopping com-
plexes who slap a ‘village’? onto
the end of their name to portray 2
false sort of ‘tye hearty olde’’ at-
mosphere, Edgemont Village truly
fives up to its claim.

Many loyal customers hardly
shop anywhere else, and the
number of people who turn out for
the June Day celebration indicates
a strong feeling of community.

Thousands of people par-
Ucipated at the event last year,
which is already a well-established
tradition even though it only
Started seven years ago upon the
completion of the village's
revitalization program.

This year, the number of enter-
tainers may rival the number of
party-goers.

“There’s so much happening,
it's unreal,’’ said Joan Bahner of
The Toy Soldier, who was desper-
ately shuffling papers listing
parade entertainers, street musi-
cians, dancers and face painters

WANT REAL

when [ stopped in for a visit a
week ago.

The festivities will begin with a 9
a.m. blueberry pancake Kiwanis
Club breakfast. thea the focus
shifts to the Highlands school
parking lot where amazing, color-
ful and funky decorated bikes will
gather at 10°30 a.m. for judging
and prizes.

The Jl a.m. parade — which
circles the village twice just so the
fun isn’t over too soon — is a
highlight, and this year it’s worth
going early to reserve a good van-
tage point on the curb. Passing by
will be antique cars, fairytale
characters, Ismaili stick dancers,
the Capilano Rotary Club Duck, a
mini-ambulance, the new North
Shore News mascot, the Freddy
Fudpucker and North Vancouver
Youth bands, clowns and a 25th
Canada Flag anniversary float.

The event will be officially
opened at 2 p.m., with the mayor,
Burrard Indian band elder Perey
Paul and tie Nahanee dancers tak-
ing part in the ceremony.

Throughout the day, you can see
on-stage entertainers including folk
singer John McLachlan, barber-
shop quartets, Scottish dancers
and belly dancers, the Nahanee
Indian dancers and children’s per-
formers.

Face painters, storytellers and
clowns will be spreading cheer
throughout the village all day.

There will even be a few educa-
tional touches at June Day —
watch for Greenpeace and Western
Canada Wilderness Committee in-
formation tables, and for a model
fire safety house.

With a line-up of activities like
this, there will almost certainly be
something for everyone on Satur-
day. The only unknown factor is
the weather, but take heart: if it
pours and the crowd thins out ear-
ly, you might get a second slice of
the Schweiglers’ June Day cake?!
