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.

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.
