"It'll be a century old in 2017 - the Crys- tal Palace was built in 19177 said Monis. "It's been very important to us as part of the Fair and in 1947 we started having dances there to help raise money for the Agricultural Society," he added, noting the unique 70 -foot round design of the building. "Our ancestors built this and it's up to us now to keep the roof on and keep it going!' Fellow committee member Larry Sta- cey was born and raised in Mitchell and has fond memories of the Crystal Palace. "It was a place I went to as a teenager dancing, I never missed a dance. Then I got into fiddling and step dancing with our family - they always had the fiddle contests in the Crystal Palace," he said, noting the building was also a popular place for family reunions over the years.
