Close to 200 people were in
attendance at the annual meeting
of district eight of the Ontario
Association of Agriculture
Societies held Friday at
the Pineridge Chalet near
Hensall. It'was the largest crowd
on record.
The meeting featured several
local dignitaries, at the head table
with many giving a brief address.
Fred Haberer, reeve of Zurich,
commented on the changing
audience in recent years which
fall fairs have had to adapt to and
the hard work of the local
societies that have enabled fairs
to keep pace with' the times.
"In these days when organiza-
tions are struggling for survivial,
credit is due to the local boards
for creating fairs that are
attractive to the public," Mr.
Haberer stated.
Grant Stirling, deputy reeve for
Goderich Township representing
the Warden of Huron County told
the audience that Huron County
contributes $3,000 a year for fairs
and close to $9,000 a year on the
agriculture sector of the economy.
"Fairs have been instru-
mental in keeping communities
thriving", according to Don
Pullen, agricultural representa-
tive for Huron County. Pullen
paid tribute to the organizational
ability of the agricultural
societies, especially the fall fairs.
with the wet weather playing
havoc with attendance.
Art Peppen, Associations
director of the Agriculture and
Horticultural branch of the'
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
said that his offices were
attempting to secure extra monies
from the government for a fund
which aids fall fairs if severe
weather conditions should befall
them.
Peppen said that', the fund,
which contains $12,000 is usually
adequate but has been almost
depleted. A fall fair which applies
for assistance can receive a
maximum of $1,000.
The deputy minister of
agriculture has been asked that
more money be transferred to the
fund, Peppen said.
"Fairs are a wonderful thing,
especially for the young people,"

McKinley told the audience.
McKinley cited the 4-H clubs as
an example where the energies of
youth can be transformed in a
constructive way so that all
people can appreciate them.
Reeve Jack Tinney of Hay
township said that "fall fairs have
continued a long time because of
their dedicated workers."
"Hardworking people bring
about fairs ...there would be a
void in the community without
fairs", was the message to the
audience from Mrs, William
Schaefer of Kirkton, director, of
the ladies, executive` of the
association. Mrs Schaefer said that
although the audiences may have
changed, people still cone to fall
fairs primarily because of the
displays.
