The Murray Cardiff Award went to Jessica Spink for lop overall points in the Fair's Junior division. Cummings noted that there had been an error in lhe school section this year. A Walton student had been named lhe winner of the Mur­ ray Cardiff Aw-ard, However, as Walton did not participate in lhe fair this year, taking their turn at Seaforth's Fair, lhe youth did not qualify. However, Greg Bowers will receive a trophy with honourable mention for having scored the most points in the Junior section. ’ The Society regrets the error. Bessie Johnston received lhe Society's Award of Appreciation. Fair Ambassador Cynthia DeWit gave a brief report on her activities to date. After much discussion about fair dates for this year, it was decided that a committee be formed to see what dates would be suitable. The dates of Sept. 21 and 22 did not suit, as that is the same week as lhe IPM. The theme of this year s fair is "Healthy Living into the New Millennium." Ralph and Pat Watson were nom­ inated as auditors for 1999. A Note from Betty Well we're now into groundhog time - trying to decide if the poor animal is coming or going. We really don't have a lot to worry about if our concern for a day involves the physical whereabouts of a furry wee beast, so on with the rest of the month. Congrats Lots of thoughts and prayers were winging over Seaforth this past week as Adah Smith spent time in the hospital coping with illness. Keep the smile on Adah. Many folks were pleased to report that Verna Tunney is back in Brussels. Welcome home. .

Joan Jacobs was suitably surprised by her family on Sunday in a day ahead birthday. It was the only way to get her, doing it before the fact. Anyone driving to the arena would have appreciated the many plastic flowers, recycled trees and other questionable items on Sunday and Monday. The high school crowd are on the last legs of exams, then it's all ready for the last semester. That’s the reason for the added tension of the past week. Ron and Trish Clarkson will be a little lost this week as they occupy their time outside the store. We know it won’t be long before their time will be all taken up in other pursuits. Welcome and best wishes to Ann and Ruth. It is now called the RuthAnn RipOff? Well enjoy the good weather of the moment and use the dumpy days of winter to clean your drawers and closets.
