A little bit of history from Dungannon -
The Agricultural Society
The Dungannon Agricultural Society has,been an integral part of that
`village 'since 1858. --__
The 136 year old organization started out on the farm of Dungannon's
founder, William Mal.(ough (Steve Faber Holdings), with a drill hall
housing exhibits.
The Agricultural and Driving Park Association purchased about 14
acres from Wm. Mallough in 1891, where they built a two storey hall, .
a grandstand, and a half mile track,.
The Agriculture Society rented the grounds for two days each year for
the sum of $65.
The Driving Park Association. sold the grounds to the Agncultural
Society in 1942, selling the existing hall privately.
A building from the Port Albert Air Force, in reality a former mess
hall, was purchased in 1948, aua cost of $400 and was moved to the
present location.
Many improvements have been made throughout the years. In 1955,
the judges' stand was erected. To mark the Centennial year in 1958, a
new. entrance gate and -barn were added. .
The main event -of the year,. -now sponsored by the Agricultural
Society, is Family Fun Days held early in August. .
In .1993 Denise Black was crowned Fair Ambassador 'with Princess
Stacey Wilson and Prince Justin Boel.
A fiddlers' jamboree, mammoth Sunday parade, antique tractor show,
horse poll, baby show and many other events are held annually with the
climax being the pork barbecue. '
It takes many hours of yoluniteer work to sustain the vitality, of the
Dungannon Agricultural Society. New members are always welcome.
No matter how little time you .can donate, your involvement in this
organizationwouldbe' greeted with enthusiasm. Give one of the direc-
tors a call if you are interested in helping bolster' the numbers.
Editor's' note: Thanks to Margaret Errington, one of the Dungannon
correspondents, who submitted this bit of history on the Agricultural ,
Society.
Stranded motorists receive
warm welcome in Grove
Aren't we all glad that we•,ek is
over? I have heard some en-
couraging stories of folks being
rescued from the .snow drifts and
the warm • hospitality of those living.
on the highways and• byways. It is
also obvious that some folks aren't
aware of our Bruce County snow
roads and the fact that if the police
have closed the road, that means
the roads shouldn't be travelled.
Guess some of us have to learn the
hard way. .. -
I've enjoyed hearing about the
quilts that were worked on 'after
sitting in a closet for a few years,
the photo albums that were long
neglected that are now in Order and
the pot luck meals that folks en-
joyed -to name a few ways .that the
days were spent.
The Grove was well represented'
at the Lucknow/Ripley 'U.C.O.
banquet in Lucknow Saturday night.
Keep up the good work folks at the
