Levi White, our President, presid- ed for the meeting assisted by Shir- ley William, Secretary and Harold Gilfoyle, Treasuret. After hearing their reports we dis- cussed our trip in May. Most of the members plan to go. We were pleased to have 10 tables playing euchre with the prizes go- ing to the following: High - Syble Stephenson, Jack Trevithick; Lone Hands - Belle Stevenson, Carmen Stewart; Low - Mary Keene, Alfred Mathers. We will meet again on April 12. Any Senior in the area is cordially invited to join with us. The meet- ing will start at 1:30 p.m. The indoor exhibits wjtich in- clude the Homecraft (i.e. sewing baking and woodworking etc.) the School (i.e. printing, vegetable creatures and crafts etc.) the fruit and vegetables and the field crops, will remain at the fair for the Sun- day. One of the main purposes of the fair is to display the hobbies and talents of our many exhibitors. By having the exhibits remain for the Sunday the fairgoers will have a choice of Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday to visit our fair and see our quality exhibits. Family passes or three day passes are being considered by the board of directors. It is hoped that this change at Ex- eter Fair will not create too great an inconvenience- for exhibitors and that they will be pleased to have more fairgoers view their entries with the additional hours on Sun- day. More information will be forthcoming as the board of direc- tors iron out the many details con- cerning this change. In following the trend of an agri- cultural theme, many special events are being planned featuring our theme "FOCUS ON HORSES". We will still have the official open- ing on Friday evening and the edu- cational demonstrations and enter- taining events will be divided between Saturday and Sunday. The activities on Sunday will be- gin around noon. As most of the livestock come and go for only one day, we will also divided these classes between Saturday and Sun- day. Anyone wishing to contact the Exeter Agricultural Society for membership, inside concessions, etc. may contact the secretary at Box 160, Exeter, Ontario NOM 1SO. Although it may seem that we will be "horsing around" at this years fair, we hope that everyone will "trot" to Exeter, then "gallop" to the Exeter Fall Fair on Septem- ber 22, 23, and 24. Remember, there's always something new at the Exeter Fair.
