This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on April 10, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER: Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and thank Mr. Clarence Mercer of Bay Roberts, and his Pigeon Inlet Steering Committee, on bringing to life the "Tales From Pigeon Inlet".

The project is based on the late Edward (Ted) Russell’s Chronicles of Uncle Mose. The family of Mr. Russell, a native of Coley’s Point, have given their blessing to this tremendous project.

Mr. Speaker, the official launch will take place on Friday, June 27, 2008, with additional summer productions being held at the SUF Hall in Bay Roberts.

The committee, Mr. Speaker, has even greater visions for this project. Plans are progressing to construct a complete Pigeon Inlet Village depicting the 1940s and 1950s.

I ask all members to join me in congratulating Mr. Mercer and the committee on this wonderful project.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
