Lots of fair retailts
Our thanks goes to
secretary Don MacTavish '
for calling around Sunday
affternoon with infornnation
on the outside show last
Saturday. The parade Was
good. There were no hitched
teams in it anda ample of .
floats missed out. As soon as
the rain stopped the O.P.P.
band struck out and all the
rest of the parade fell Into
their places. One thing about
country folks is the way they
adapt to unexpected
situations. Since the grounds
were wet the horses were
shown on the line 'for judge
Walter Forster and. those
watching. Directors lay
Puller, Keith van der Hoek,
Jinn MacDonald, and Blake
Lofton had all the classes
shown as listed in the prize
list. 'his was to prevent any
accidents and also. save the
expensive clean show har-
ness from being covered
With mud,
Don mentioned these
horsemen as present Edgar

Huron township, George
Gregg and sons of Paisley,
Ross Young of Tiverton,.

Morgan Nixon° of Wiarton.
Director Mrs. Nina Wyld of
the sixth concession west in
Huron township got the
saddle horse show away to
an early start at nine
Saturday morning and as a
result only the four rodeo
events . and two others in-.
volving jumping . were
cancelled so when the rains
poured down.from eleven till
twelve last Saturday mor-
ning her show was at .least
three quarters ,completed.
Don MacTavish reports that
there were just .about a
thousand birds in the poultry,
show in. the Huron township
hall. In the big' tent about a
hundred goats. were in the
\goat show.

Watching the parade from
the front doorofthe Complex
with Mrs. Marjorie Thorn-
.pson we noticed the orange

was in the park.. Instead of
.going acrosssihe infield of the
park it came'along the back
of Knox Shed west to end of
the: pavement and there
made a "V" turn.going back'
along the north .. side of the
pavement in front of the
complex and back out, jack
and . Linda Campbell of
Aniberley and their .com-
mittee can , be proud of the
parade led by the O.P.P.
band. Don Dawson of Olivet
and a member of the Kin-
cardine O.P.P. detachment
is a piper with the band. The
pavement laid last fall was
appreciated last Saturday as
the folks lined the parade
route without standing and`
