Arthur Evans' Appreciation Night

They came to pay tribute to Arthur Evans in Barrie last week at an appreciation night sponsored by the Simcoe Centre Progressive Conservatives. Mr. Evans is holding one of the many gifts he received that night, a caricature of himself in cavalier costume while Mr. Evans' wife Audrey, and Simcoe Centre MPP George Taylor look on. This photo appeared in the Bradford Witness along with an article about the evening and both of these were found in the Bradford Women's Institute Scrapbooks.
