Pienty
to do
for
family

FOR THE many Lower
Mainland families who make
it an annual date, a visit to
the Vancouver Sportsmen's
Show is always a fun outing.

And this year it could be a
lucky one as weil.

Everyone attending the
1985 Sportsmen’s Show at
B.C. Place Stadium April 11
to 14 can enter a draw for an
inflatable 12° Metzler Adven-
ture Boat complete with out-
board mutor, fishing rods
and tackle.

As usual, ihe show is
geared to family participa-
tion, with featured per-
formers, activities, displays
and demonstrations to appeal
to every age group.

While Mom and Dad tour
the more than 100 displays of
the Jatest equipment designed
to enhance enjoyment of the
outdoor life, up and coming
anglers can head for the
casting pool. It is a perennial
favorite with the youngsters
and this year there is the add-
ed attraction of a free tackie
box for the first 50 boys and
girls to register each day.

The whole family will want
to watch American's
Australian bull whip and
rope whiz, Joyce Rice, as she
turns the traditional cowboy
skill of calf roping into a vir-
tuoso performance which has
been acclaimed at sport
shows. theatres, and night
clubs on this continent, in
England, Exrope, the Middle
East and Japan.

In an act never before at-
tempted by a woman, she
demonstrates the intricate
technique of Australian
multiple whip cracking. And
then just for fun, she lassoes
a cowboy and casually flicks
a handkerchief out of his hip
pocket with her whip.

A big hit recently at the
Calgary Sportsmen's Show,
the White Clouds (Kenneth
Pierce and his wife Donna)
will repeat their breathtaking
knife-throwing act at the
Vancouver Sportsmen’s
Show.

The White Clouds are a
family of Seneca Indians who
live in Salamanca, N.Y. and
Pierce (Prince Chi Chi) is car-
rying on a family tradition in
performing the act originated
by his parents some 40 years
ago.

He is billed as “‘the world’s
fastest knife thrower’? and
his act is not for the faint of
heart. It is climaxed by the
Wheel of Death, in) which
Donna is strapped to a wheel,
and Pierce hurls razor-edged
knives to pin her to it by her
clothing as it revolves.

For a change of pace,
visitors can look in at the
Purina Pet Extravaganza,
which provides almost non-
stup entertainment, including
demonstrations by the B.C.
Association of Retriever
Trial Clubs.

Or watch members of the
Lower Mainland branch of
the B.C. Wildlife Federation
tving flies, loading shells and
demonstrating taxidermy and
hunter safety. Or examine the
antique Marlin firearms in
the display presented by Cen-
turion Safes Lid.

Members of fishing
families can learn a for and
have a lot of fun by cam.
peting with each other.
