On Friday night (Feb. 5), heralded by a performance of the Seaforth Girls Marching Band and the premiere of the new student-produced short film, On the Comic Side of Life, the Heritage Culture Partnership recognized the importance of culture and heritage with the presentation of the first Annual Huron Cultural Awards at the Blyth Festival. The Friday night performances and award ceremony kicked off a weekend celebrating youth creativity in Huron County. Saturday and Sunday were filled with performances in music, dance, drama and film by Huron County youth for Huron County youth. Winners were recognized for contributions in 2009 in one of four categories: Cultural Event/Organization, Individual Artist, Cultural Patron/Volunteer or Heritage Individual/Organization.
