By DONALD DEARING Here we are again at fall fair time and the directors of the Exeter Agricultural Society invite you to attend the 116th annual Exeter Fall Fair. For the second time we are holding the fair on a Friday and Saturday. By having the big day on a Saturday we hope to draw the many people that work in industries throughout the week in the area along with the many school children. Along with this aspect are several new features that are being added this year. The fair will open Friday night with action on two fronts at Exeter Community Park. We are again sponsoring a baby show and beauty contest. Both of these events will be held in the arena Friday night with the baby show starting at 7:30. At the same time in front of DONALD DEARING the grandstand entrants in a heavy horse show will strut their stuff and senior horse show games will also be held. The official opening will also be held Friday night with Exeter Mayor Jack Delbridge doing the honors. Saturday will start off with what we hope will be a monster parade taking off from Snell Bros. Garage, moving up to Cann's Mill to pick the many youngsters with their tricycles, bikes and comic vehicles and on to the fair grounds. Heading the parade will be three bands. They are the Brigden Firemen's Kiltie band, the St. Marys Marching band and the Exeter Legion Pipe band.

MacNaughton, Stephen Reeve Jim Hayter and Usborne Councillor Lloyd Ferguson, representing Huron Warden and Usborne Reeve Roy Westcott, who will be unable to attend, along with Mayor Delbridge.

One of the new added attractions is the return of an old favorite of fairs gone by. An attempt is being made to revive harness racing. Two classes with two heats each will be run throughout the afternoon.
