Kilsyth Civic Week 1976 saw the revival of an earlier idea
to mimic the then popular TV program - The Black and White
Minstrel Show.
It is amazing how values in society have
changed as we would no longer dream about staging such a show
with it's potentially offensive racial styreotype theme but
it was done with innocence and enthusiasm by a bunch of great
kids and a fabulous teacher.
