DUNDARAVE IS earning a
favorable reputation on the
North Shore as a quaint and
friendly community in West Van-
couver that thrives with local en-
thusiasm. The Dundarave
Business Association supports
events which serve to bring peo-
ple together in a celebration of life
and good-will, with the accent on
good, clean fun.

The fourth annual Dundarave
Hoe-Down is one such event,
and it’s scheduled for Friday,
August 10, from 7 p.m. to 11
p.m. Folks from near and far are
invited to slip into their cowboy
boots and 10-gallon hats and join
in the fun.

It's a popular family event, and
this year, organizers are expec-
ting approximately two to four
thousand visitors. There will be
plenty of room for participants to
get into the swing of things, as

Marine Drive will be blocked off
between 24th and 25th Streets.

Patti Leigh, Dundarave
Business Association Vice-
President and hoe-down coor-
dinator, says the event is one
way of thanking the community
for supporting local merchants
and businesses. Says Leigh, “It's
a wonderful opportunity to enjoy
the unique community spirit that
exists in Dundarave.”

ENTERTAINMENT

Jimmy Roy's Five Star
Hillbillies, featuring Daniel Lapp,
will kick things off with country
and western tunes that are likely
to appeal to all ages, getting peo-
ple in the mood for participation.
According to organizers, “It’s the
type of music that really makes
you want to join in. It’s great for
dancing.”

Over the years square dancing
has become a favorite highlight
of the hoe-down. Back by
popular demand are the
Swingtime Square Dancers and

caller Doreen Sillery, who takes
to the stage between perfor-
mances by the band.

Hoe-down visitors from
previous years will remember
Sillery as an entertainer who can
stir things up. She clearly enjoys
people, is passionate about life,
and gets everyone involved in the
dancing. Says Sillery, “It's leam
on the spot dancing’. You don’t
have to know a thing. Weil take
you right through it.”

Each year she extends great ef-
fort in making herself available as
a volunteer caller.

On the morning of August 10,
Sillery will be in Penticton taking
part in a parade beginning at 10
a.m. Says Sillery, ‘Til be in the
last car in the parade. When it's
over, I'll just keep going. We did
it last year. It took about five or
six hours, and we made it to our
home on the North Shore just in
time to prepare for the hoe-
down. The next moming we hit
the road again, back to the
