Rain halts Fun Day
"Rain, rain go away. Come again
another day" was the cry of those who had
outdoor events planned in this area on Sun.
Aug. 9. However, the rain kept coming,
causing changes in many plans.
The Dungannon Agricultural Society's
Family Fun Day was one of the events that
had to be altered to suit the weather.
The Pork Barbecue went as planned
and, to the surprise of many, well over 500
people were served. The delicious meal in-
cluded pork from three whole pigs, ham
slices, baked potatoes, coleslaw, baked
beans, rolls, ice cream, coffee and pop.
The Variety Concert was moved to
Brookside School. The 13 fair queen con-
testants introduced themselves after a
welcome from MC Derek Botten from
CKNX.
Excellent music was enjoyed from Doug
Young on the fiddle. Bill Thompson played
his guitar and sang with his little daughter,
Julie. Also singing two beautiful songs was
Angela Foran.
Jack Caesar told the story of "Petey the
Snake" and Margaret Errington gave a
recitation about a ball game in
Dungannon.
A play entitled, "Wanted - a
Housekeeper" was acted out by Arelene
Curran, Linda Curran, Bernice Glenn,
Lynda McNee, Carol Nivins, Diane Park,
Linda Ribey, Cheryl Schnurr, and Bernie
Wheelie.
The highlight of the evening was the
crowning of the 1987 Fair Queen, Marcia
Boak, 18 year-old daughter of Jim and
Phyllis Boak of RR 1, Dungannon by last
year's queen, Vicki Pentland. Marcie was
also named Miss Friendship by the
contestants. •
First runner-up was Wendy Westecott,
daughter of Doug and Denyse Westecott of
RR 3, Goderich.
Second runner-up was Angela Glenn,
17 -year-old daughter of Bernice and Gerrie
Glenn, Dungannon.
The 1987 Fair Princess is Kelly McNee,
daughter, of Lynda McNee, Dungannon
and the Fair Prince is Billy Tucker, son of
Dawn and Wayne Tucker.
Unfortunately, the Horse and Antique
Tractor Pulls, the Antique Farm Equip-
ment Display and the Antique Toys had to
be postponed until Sunday, Aug. 23. At that
time, the action will start at 1 p.m. at the
Dungannon Agricultural Grounds and the
Junior Farmers Olympics will be held for
the children at 1:30.
Meanwhile, the Dungannon Fair is this
weekend, Aug. 14 and 15, when the fun will
continue.
