The re -act club also supplied their own dogs • to guard the exhibits left over- night in the arena. Emergency situations were handled byHaskettAm- bulance Service in Lucan. The -town's police were in force at the fair to handle any possible violence and their presence during all hours allowed the fair .:to continue on a family fun level without restraint and netCvousness. • The Killarney were great as was proven by the capacity crowds they drew to the Lions Den. Although difficult to hear sometimes over the roars' of approval of those attending the bar they were worth the effort of standing in stow moving lines to hear them. Out at the Grandstand F'erlen Husky's back up group did an outstanding job making the performance worthwhile.CarrolBaker was her sweet self and -many of her fans were on hand for autographs and pictures. Her bark up Tenderfoot deserve more than just honorable mention. The Good Brothers crowds spoke for themselves and no one who took the time to see and hear them were dissappointed. Highlighting the grand stand performers was Londons own Irish Group "Bitter Sweet." Their appeal was through the ageless music they performed -and even though they had some sound trouble they were loudly applauded by young and old. The Sunday afte-noon pony pull was good„- enter-tainment for all Prizes and Molson cups were given. Fair Dance Don't forget the •Lucan Fair dance Friday August 2.5.
