Its .beena ayear
Well, it's been a year since I arrived
in the friendly: community of
Lucknow and it's felt like the year has
just flown by. One thing I know, is
that it has left -me with a lot of
good memories of a village that
supports one another no matter
what.
When I first arrived in
Lucknow one of the first
things I attended was a
meeting to discuss the
shaky future of the fall
fair. There were some
concerns that It may not
continue into its 146th year.
Those concerns were washed away
in September when the Lucknow area
was treated to a 'Wonderful fair that
saw a lot of people from the area and,
all over support the fair.
It was great to see young and old
enjoying themselves at the midway
and the numerous events scheduled
throughout the weekend.
I don't know what I was expecting
from the fair because the Owen Sound
Fall Fair is what I'm used to. All it is,
is a bunch of carnival rides. I think
Owen Sound should, take a chapter
outof the Lucknow Fall Fair. it needs
aritR
of good memories
to showcase its agriculture more and a
little less on the carnival rices and
crash up derby. So yes, I enjoyed the
Lucknow Fall Fair very much and I
hope it goes for another 146 years.
One thing I'm not surprised.
about is the dedication to sports in
Lucknow. Many people who read
the paper know that I'm .a sports
guy and I enjoy the odd hockey
game or two. It's great that
minor sports and the Lancers
are given a lot of support in
the village. It's been a privi-
lege covering Lancer games
and taking pictures of the various
sports that take place throughout the
year. The Lancers - Ripley wolves
rivalry has been a exciting thingto
watch y
1V1usic in the Fields was , a
great
experience as well. Like I have said
before, I'm not a huge country fan but f°
the show that was putpnAug. 22 was
sive. The Kinsmen did a great
job, of making the artists feel welcome
and the artists did a great job of per-
forming one heck of a show.
I don't know what my future holds,
butI'll takefond memories from my
stay in Lucknow.
