pts nv.g. Thanes Road UC Women meet
The :tree and its byproducts have long been the cornerstone of our
everyday living so it seemed appropriate to make "Wood" the focus of
an event that has been a part of our community for one hundred and
thirty -nine years.
The Exeter Fall Fair is upon us again and we hope to see you there.
We are pleased to have the Thames Valley Woodcarvers sharing their
talents as well as other displays, demonstrations and competitions in-
volving wood.
Friday evening the program includes the magic talents of Doug the
Great and the crowning of our new fair ambassador. Come cheer for
your favorite organization as they participate in our 'Mystery' event.
Saturday is busy with the parade, livestock, horse and pet shows, a
stepdancing competition, a chainsaw .competition, and in the evening,
bingo.
Sunday, we have the talents of the local b ndllosidvely Stompin'.
It should be a busy weekend. We hope you take time to be a part of
the community spirit - have some fun and come to the fair.
