He estimated this was a decrease of about 3,000 from last year, Nevin said, “the Saturday afternoon rain certainly cut down on our Saturday night crowd.” The seventh annual Lucan Lions Fair was a great success over the week end despite a heavy shower of rain Saturday afternoon.

The Sunday crowd was also excellent.” The Fair chairman added, “The success of our fair is due to the relentless work of hundreds of volunteers. We couldn’t do it without them. He said it was too early to determine what the net proceeds would be but suggested it would be several thousand dollars less than last year’s net profit of about $30,000. The Friday night parade started the Lucan Fair with flying colours. Clowns, marching bands, majorettes, guides, brownies, cubs, jeepsters, bikers, skate boarders, go carters, trikers along with the floats made a memorable show for the hundreds who turned out onto the main street to watch. Honorable mention must be made for Young’s bike - pulled-musical-swing, a veteran of many parades. We all must acknowledge that this year Scott’s Elevators is really going to the pigs. The Listowel Legion Pipe Band and color party were really a treat for eyes and ears. The parade judges this year were Fern Wilson, Stan Flood, and Isobell Haskett. Best decorated bicycles in junior were Matthew Lane, AngelaThomasand Raymond Vaugtor. Senior prizes went to Kim Newman and Marjorie Dykeman. The best decorated float was from the Lucan play ground. Next were the Lucan District Co-op nursery and the Crediton Peewees ball team. The Granton Hillbillies were names the best comic entry. Float prizes were also given to the Yesteryear Mini Farm entered by Donald McIntyre and his family from Denfield. Following a close third were the Pooper Scoopers an unlikely group. Thanks to all who par ticipated, if you like a parade why don’t you think about joining next years, there’s always room for more.
