A guy can always use a helping hand and Garry Scott of Lucknow [left] gets a little help from Paul
Weitendorf, community relations co-ordinator with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority at the
“Fun in the Snow Day” at the Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area, Sunday afternoon. Garry completed
his bird feeder then took part with dozens of others in a hike through the conservation area.

Fair board considers purchase
Continued from page 6
the month. The Board meets once a
month until mid-summer, when
meetings become more frequent as
the date approaches.
One of the major decisions
facing the new Board will be
whether to purchase or lease 7.5
acres of land adjacent to the
present fairgrounds, immediately
behind the cattle sheds. According
to Mrs. Bishop, the matter has
previously been under discussion
as the directors ponder the wisest
investment for funds resulting
from the sale of the old fairgrounds
at the north end of the village two
years ago. At the moment, the
$18,000 has been invested and is
gathering interest.
Mrs. Bishop says that while
several directors would like to see
an expansion in the livestock
exhibition area, others feel that the
price on the land is excessively
high at this time. Another factor
which may affect a decision is that
the Society is unsure of its share in
the costs of installing sewers to the
Brussels, Morris and Grey Com
munity Centre, and may have to
postpone any decision until this is
made clear
At press time, the board of
directors is still short twodirectors,
while the ladies’ division still lacks
a second vice-president. Mrs.
Bishop asks anyone interested in
volunteering time to fill these
positions to contact her at 887-6186
for further information.
