Campbell’s Bay Summer Festival Phase II: One of the big events of the three-day Campbell’s Bay Summer Festival was the “Moto-Cross” racing which took place on Sunday afternoon.

Some 80 riders from as far away as New York and Peterborough took part in the races to make the event one of the truly exciting contests of the weekend.

A talent show took place Saturday with a great many contestants. Doug Foley was the M.C. and Gil Roy of Ottawa, international step-dancing champion, was a special guest and performer.

Winning in the singing contest, age group 5-10, was Eldon Ostrom with Brent Ostrom on guitar and Kevin Coyne at the piano. Eldon also proved to be a great dancer in the dancing contest.
