Lacroix and Webb first came up with the idea of an outdoor craft show last year.The two candidly admit the idea first took root after seeing the impressive craft show Hatley puts on every year for Canada Day.Lacroix and Webb, who both build intricate wooden toys, took part in that show once again last weekend.Idea in mind, the two approached Cowansville mayor Arthur Fauteux, and before long the municipality was squarely behind the idea.Despite the heat, the show attracted an estimated 8000 people, providing something to do at a time when Cowansville is normally quiet.“All Maurice and I did last year was say we thought this would be a good idea,” Webb said.The municipality helped out by covering the cost of tents, bringing in extra electricity and helping out with the numerous details.See Craft show, page 7 Canada Day highlights weekend CAROLINE KEHNtyCOUtESFONDENr From Knowlton to Cowansville, residents in the Brome-Missisquoi area celebrated their first Canada Day of the new millennium last weekend with a parade, outdoor concerts, face painting and much more.See Page 8 for pictures from the weekend’s celebrations.' v ’ ''-W'C ; .¦ Alan Webb (left) and Maurice Lacroix (right) are cocreators of the Cowansville craft show, which promises to attract crofters of all kinds to Davignon Park this weekend.West Brome featured in film By Caroline Kehne Record Correspondent Imagine sitting at the counter of your favourite breakfast hangout, doing what millions of folks do every day - downing your fourth cup of java, reading the local rag and catching up on news with the breakfast regulars.Things take a twist when a stranger appears, you become witness to an accident, and suddenly, your life is part of story line, one of three seemingly unre- lated threads that eventually weave themselves into one.That is the one thread in Three Steps Back to Nothing, a 75-minute feature film by novice filmmaker Daniel-James (a.k.a.D.J.) Matrundola.The film, shot in Montreal, Cowansville and West Brome, will make its public debut on Thursday, July 5 at 7:30 pm at the Hall Building on Concordia University’s downtown campus.See Three Steps, Page 5 1243-0000 Res.& Fax: 242-2233 rv" Why stay in waiting calls!

is the summer project of Rebecca Blinn, a 21-year old who is studying social sciences at Champlain College in Lennoxville en route to becoming a history teacher.Blinn, who will transfer to Bishops’ University in the fall, was hired by the museum under a 10-week Heritage Canada Youth Works grant to coordinate the project.The project is the result of a focus group con- ducted with eight local children.The group, consisting of six children between ages eight and 12 and two teenagers, selected the name as well as the types of objects and activities to be included.When completed, the Missisquoi Museum Clubhouse will include a doll house, costume jewelry and clothing for playing dress-up, paper dolls, a selection of wood toys and a puppet theatre.Blinn has already located many of the objects in the museum’s inventory but is still looking for donations of an area rug and wooden toys.The clubhouse will open the week of Aug.13.The public is invited to an opening reception on
