There's fun at the fair so plan to be there
This year the Family Fun Day, spon-
sored by the Dungannon- Agricultural
Society, is offering two new attractions. On
Sunday, August 9, displays of antique toys
and model trains and of antique farm
equipment will be added to the days
activities.
Farm toy shows seem to be growing in
popularity with collectors from near and
far. Those who have a collection of
miniature farm equipment are proud to
display their best models as well as trade
and sell at these shows. It can also create a
trip down "Memory Lane" for those who
have been farming for a length of time.
Coordinator of the Antique Toy Show;
Fred Phillips, of RR 7 Lucknow, reports
that there has been a great response, with
quite a few collectors already registered
for the show, including one gentleman
from Hamilton who is eager to show his
model trains in action.
Henry Henricks, also of RR 7 Lucknow,
is in charge of the antique farm equipment
display. The equipment on view will show
a wide range of machinery from
yesteryear - some common, some ex-
tremely uncommon.
Along with these two new features, the
horse and antique tractor pulls will again
be held. However, the two pulls will both
start at 1 p.m. with the horse pull taking
place in the corral and the antique tractors
pulling on the track.
At the same time, the judging of the
Queen of the Fair contestants will com-
mence at the Dungannon Seniors' Centre.
The children can enjoy some fun at the
Junior Farmer Olympics, held on the ball
diamond at the fairgrounds at 1:30 p.m.
From 4:30 to 6:30, a Pork Barbecue will
be available for $6 for adults, $3 for
children 12 years of age and under and free
for pre-schoolers. Only 500 people will be
served so tickets should be purchased in
advance.
The evening will feature an outdoor
Variety Concert with local talent and
M.C.'d by one of the announcers from
CKNX Radio.
The climax of Family Fun Day will be
the crowning of the 1987 Fair Queen by
Vicki Pentland, Miss 1986 Dungannon
Fair. A junior princess and prince will also
be crowned.
Sunday, August 9, is promising to be a
fun -filled day at the Dungannon
Agricultural grounds. Make sure you are a
part of the fun.
