silly until we reached Grade 8 and
had to march past the high school
with all our friends from last year
watching us.
The midway was always bigger
and better each year and we saved
our pennies for months so we could
blow it all trying to win a stuffed
animal. And that was alright,
because it was fair day.
For weeks before, everyone was
busy preparing entries to be judged.
Young and old took part in as many
aspects of the fair as time would
allow and talent would justify. It
was a tradition and a way of life.
This attitude has prevailed al
Brussels Fair, but particularly this
year. There was a carnival feeling
at the midway — which after many
years of disappointment was excel
lent — and a social feeling
throughout the fair grounds. The
school parade was one of the most
colourful and entertaining I've ever
seen. In fact, the only thing that
lacked enthusiasm this year, was
the Queen of the Fair contest,
which had to be cancelled, due to A national program to encourage giving

lack of participants. In these days
of equality, perhaps this was a sign
that it's time to open the field and
select a Fair Ambassador.
Despite the commendable work
done by the Agricultural Society,
the Brussels Fair could never be a
success without the community
involvement. Therefore, this pat on
the back goes not just to the Ag.
Soc. but to the people who con
tributed to the success of this year's
fair by volunteering their time or by
displaying their talents.
With continued community sup
port and involvement there's a
potential in the Brussels Fall Fair to
grow bigger and better, to establish
the sense of community that was a
hallmark of fall fairs in the past and
to set an example to those commu
nities where fairs no longer exist.
