With that in mind McDowell
planned on bringing the issue to the
transition committee during the
meeting last night, Feb. 29.
The group hopes to continue the
fair for this year and plans to invite
all five schools; Blyth, Turnberry
Central, Brussels, East
Wawanosh and Wingham Public
Schools.
“I hope to arrange for some
previous Blyth and East Wawanosh
students to explain it to students
from Brussels, Wingham and
Turnberry who haven’t been to the
fair before,” McDowell said.
Stainton said that this was a good
move and that the fair could weather
the closure of the schools.
“The fair has gone through 90-
some years, a world war and it keeps
going,” she said. “It’s great to have
these kids involved with a fair that
focuses on rural practices and
school works.”
If the fair is to continue it will
require volunteers, according to
Walden.
For more information, or to
volunteer, contact information can
be obtained through Blyth or East
Wawanosh Public Schools.
