Fair needs pies for Ladies' Booth
This fine class of Shorthorns was part of the Brussels Fall Fair sometime between 1938 and 1945, but all
^identification has since been lost on the 20 or so old photographs of the Fair loaned to The Citizen by the
Brussels Agricultural Society prior to their display at the 1988 Fair, September 20-21. Can anybody
identify the youthful exhibitors?

prizes for all, as there were last
year, and every baby will be a
winner, says HarrietBoon, Fair
secretary.
The babies will be paraded
before the crowd at the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community
Centre, while Judges Joyce Van
Vliet and Marie McCutcheon
introduce each child and deter
mine his or her “winningest” trait
before awarding the prizes. Brus
sels Fall Fair director Brian
Rutledge is the chairman of the
baby show committee, and any
enquiries should be directedto him
at 887-6242, Mrs. Boon said.
The annual Variety Concert will
follow the Baby Show, and the
show committee, under co-chair
men Mary Lowe and Sarah Ste
phenson, has again lined up an
exciting array of local talent, which
will include several musical and
vocal groups, as well as step-dan
cers and humorous skits. In
addition, Steve Marks’ band,
Nashville Bound, which has been
making its mark on the profession
al circuit over the past year or so,
will headline the show, courtesy of
Mr. Marks.
Mrs. Lowe said Monday that
most of the dozen or so acts of the
show are already in place, but that
there could still be room for ‘ ‘one or
two more, especially if it’s some
thing different.” Enquiries should
be directed to Mrs. Lowe at
887-6923 or to Mrs. Stephenson at
887-9088.
The midway will also be in
operation Tuesday evening, and
the Arts and Crafts section of the
Fair will be open for the enjoyment
of those attending the Baby Show
and Variety Show. Both are open
all day Wednesday.
As usual, all the children at
Brussels and Grey Central Public
Schools will be given the day off, in
order to take part in the big Fall
Fair Parade which will leave from
Victoria Park at 12 noon on
Wednesday. Children from Wal
ton Public School alternate their
attendance at local fairs, and this is
the year they will take part in the
Seaforth Fall Fair parade, which
runs next Thursday and Friday.
Heavy and light horses, 4-H
livestock, and sheep and goats will
beshownthroughoutthe day on
Wednesday, which will also serve
as the Achievement Day for the
Brussels and Hallrice 4-H Dairy
Calf Clubs, the Brussels 4-H Beef
Calf Club, and the Brussels 4-H
Horse Club. In addition, Mrs. Boon
says that two new events have been
added to the livestock section of the
show: sheep shearing will be
demonstrated in mid-afternoon by
exhibitor and professional sheep-
shearer Glen Payne of Kerrwood;
and Goat Milking competitions will
Sb
be held immediately following the
conclusion of the appropriate dairy
goat classes, which are judged with
full udders.
