Although women often play an
important part in the business
community of Huron county,
there’s a tremendous potential for
them to do more. Many very clever
women are sitting out there right

dous opportunity for growth in the
community if they put their brains
to work once their children are in
school.
We need ways to encourage
people to do more than look for a job
working for others. We need ways

Rosemary Bishop reported that
the sale of the old fair grounds last
spring had realized $34,000 after
expenses for the society. The
society had been able to pay off a
loan at the bank and invest money.
This year the fair will celebrate
its 125th anniversary when it is
held on Sept. 16 and 17.
The board was unable to find
replacements for two retiring
directors, Neil Hemingway of
Brussels and Ray Hanna of Auburn
and will seek new directors at a
later date. It was suggested that
an addition of a director from the
Blyth area would be beneficial.
Reports on the 1985 Fair showed
that it was successful despite rain.
Bessie Johnston reported that
displays in the ladies division were
up.
