The Fair Board took a gamble in deciding on a two-day event, and hit the jackpot. Added attractions such as the queen contest, the public school section, an expanded ladies' division and a beef barbecue resulted in gate receipts up 9700 from last year, and an increase of exhbitors in the sheep show, the amateur horse shoe, and similar categories. Nine young ladies sponsored by local businesses competed in the fair queen contest organized by the Hen- sall Kinettes. Leigh Soldan topped off her seventeenth birthday by winning the contest. She was presented with a crown and a bouquet of roses from the village of Hensall, a $100 cheque from the Hensall Kinsmen, a sterling silver pendant from the Hensall Fair Board, a two-piece luggage set plus travel make-up bag which were joint gifts from General Coach, BSL Refrigera- tion and Hensall Motors, a travel blow dryer from Knight Electric, a $15 deposit at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, a collector's plate of the town hall from Signs and Shirts, one year's subscription to Startime Video, a crystal vase from William's Hair Styling and a microwave meat rack from Drysdale's. . Runner-up Dana Bozzato received a travel jewel case from the Bank of Montreal, a gold bracelet from Shaw's Dairy Store, perfume from Agripress and Reid's Cosy Corner, and a 910 deposit at the Bank of Commerce. All nine contestants received Australian crystaLearrings from the Birch Tree. All but the two winners 'Were presented with crystal trinket boxes by the Kinettes. Kinette president Carolyn Knight expressed her appreciation to area. businessmen for their support and generosity, and to the two judges, Ruth Immense and Dennis Martine, for carrying out the difficult task. Frances Kinsman, president of the Ladies' Dtvision, said the school sec- tion was a welcome addition to this year's Fair. More than 200 entries came in, the majority from Hensall Public School, and the rest from St. Boniface in Zurich and Huron Centen- nial at Brucefield. The volunteers supervising the exhibit reported on the excitement of the children bring- ing friends and relatives to "Come and see what I have here". The Ladies' Division moved to the main auditorium this year, and add- ed cooking and flower arranging demonstrations to the Saturday pro- gram. Both events were well attended. In the draw, Kai -Uwe Wisch, RR 2 Kippen, ,won the $100 food voucher from Solway's Food Market, Velma. Robinson, Hensall, received the se- cond prize of $50 in meat from Volland's Meat Market, and John McDougall, Hensall, won dinner for two at Blackbeard's Restaurant on Highway 4 near Clinton. The final event on this year's pro- gram was another innovation, a beef barbecue. The 300 advance tickets sold quickly, and Fair Board secretary Beth Cooper said she heard nothing but complimentary remarks about the dinner. Even the weather cooperated. Fri- day's early morning rain cleared up long before the Fair opened in mid- afternoon with the sheep show, and stayed sunny until after the Saturday barbecue. . Fair Board President Stewart Brown pronounced the 1986 Fair an overall success, and promised $ two- dav encore next year.
