held at the mike on the ball
diamond. President Morley Scott

George Gear of Walkerton returned
to Ripley to give a very nice!

the 4-H calf clubs, the heavy horse
show, or to the refreshinent booths,

Shortly, the blue and white
Durham Band played their second

pipers from Brussels. The main
show ,was over shortly after four in
the afternoon, but many people
remained seated for the rodeo show
staged by the, saddle horse riders.

in this saddle horse show from

water, Lucknow, Ripley, Kintail,
Blyth, Londesboro, Goderich and

Many people enjoyed the long
walk in the afternoon sunshine as
they made their way from the ball '
park over to see the indoor display
in the new Ripley Huron Complex.
Here they viewed displays of
Student work at the Ripley Huron
Central and Ripley District Schools,
the coloUrful flower show, great
displays of baking and canning,
needlework, art And crafts, vege-
