The directors of the Ripley
Agricultural Society always hold a
work bee on the Monday following
the fair. This year was no
exception to this traditional pract-
ice. On hand were president Hugh
Mason Morley Scott, Jack Farrell,
•Gordon Patterson, Lester Fergu-
son, Walter Forster, Stewart and
Jim Needham, Jim Brooks, Hamil-
ton MacKinnon, Stewart Shiells,
Kenny MacDonald and Ab Wylds.
Jim, Brooks and Jack Farrell had
their trucks while Hugh brought his
tractor and wagon and Stewart
Shiells had his scout truck - all
needed in moving the crates,
platforms, stands, fence rolls and
planks back to their place of
storage to await the last4week end
in September 1975. '
After the stands were moved
from the Huron Township hall it
was nice to see the way caretaker
Ham MacKinnon has the tables set
up in the basement. Ham has even
recovered the one missing table.
Eight of these tables belong to the
Agricultural Society - bought from
War Assetsstock in Toronto back
when Austin Martin was president.
In fact, if our memory serves
correctly in this case, Austin
brought them up to Ripley from
Toronto. Ham has repainted them
and it is a good thing that they are
being put to use the year around in
Huron Township hall. It was a long
morning requiring heavy work to
be done. It ended with the taking
down and storing away of the four
large Toad signs.

The indoor display of exhibits at
the Ripley fall fair set a record both
in number and quality this year. It
was just unbelievable. The numb-
ers of exhibitors was up almost fifty
per cent with some new ones
coming from a distance - Belgravel
Blyth, and Goderich for 8xample.
Then former Ripleyite, Mrs. Austin •
Stilwell of Barrie exhibited her
quilt. In the domestic science,
Vera Aitken and Linda Dayle of
Toronto exhibited as did Kathy
Farrell of McMaster in Hamilton.
In addition to • the newcomers,
almost all the regular fall fair
exhibitors from Armow, Kincard-
ine, Lucknovv, Teeswater and from
this immediate area, made the
special effort to simply fill the high
school auditorium and the township
hall. As in past years the school
exhibits are brought to the auditor-
ium on Wednesday afternoon, then
judged on Thursday afternoon. On
Thursday evening teachers and
directors set up the display which
Covered the entire rear .wall of the
auditorium and along the south
side as well. To name a few of the
ladies there doing the work - Mrs.
Betty Scott, Mrs. Helen Hender-
son, Mrs. Katherine Collins, Mrs.
Dorothy Needham, Mrs. Bob Rut-
ledge, Mrs: Allan Farrell, Mrs. Bev
Peterbaugh, Mrs. Devitt and oth-
ers. Both schools - Ripley Huron
Central and Ripley District had nice
large signs. In the high school
. section Mr. VVm. Turvill and Mrs.
Katherine Collins had a projector
set up showing coloured slides of
various school activities. We
understand that Bob Campbell
tended to this set up on fair day.
Then on Friday morning every-
body was going everywhere - so it
seemed and by Friday noon the
place was packed for the judges.
The ladies were from the Tara area
