Eighteen -year-old Carrie, daughter of Carmel and Jerome Sweeney, Zurich, was crowned queen of the 1983 fair by last year's winner, Vicki Mann. Carrie's name will be at the top of a new trophy, donated by Berg Farm Equipment and presented by Chuck Erb. Bonnie (Foster) Erb, now of Goderich, was ceremoniously presented with the original trophy by Marg and 1tOss Johnson. The former Dominion Hotel owners had donated the old trophy in 1964 for the first queen contest ; 19 years later, there was no more room to squeeze in another name. Saturday's winding parade led a paid attendance of over 600 (plus about double that number of children who got in free) into the fair grounds. Besides the usual animate and inanimate exhibits, fair organizers added a milking contest this year between members of Zurich and Hay councils, and games especial- ly for the youngsters. The milking contest was popular enough to earn a pro- mised encore in 1984. Agricultural society president Ted Lansbergen, showing dedication above and beyond the call of duty, arose from his bed at 5:30Saturdaymorn- ing (a short two -and -one-half hours after getting home from Frivay night's dance) to go out and catch Bessie the cow before her own calf and two others she was nursing had their breakfast. (This also explained why Mark Lansbergen's pretty little heifer calf bawled continuous- ly all the time she was in the ring - her mother was entic- ingly near, and the calf was hungry). Each councillor was given 12 seconds to milk with one hand into a pail held in the other. Each was timed to the microsecond, and the con- tents of the pail meticulously measured. BABY WINNERS - Amanda McKinnon (back left) with mother Judy took first prize in the 8-12 month baby contest. Next is second place winner Krystal Ziler with another Kim, and third place Jaime Rose with mother Michele. Seated are 12 -month and older winners Nicple with mother Janet Soudant, first; Jason and mother Manic- -^-^--' and Ryan and mother Elaine Groot, third.

SATURDAY 11:304 P.M. Isidore LaPorte was primarily concerned with Bessie's kicking ability, while Claire Deichert wished he could use both hands to milk. Overall winner John Elder explained the secret of his success - warm hands. Novices Don Van Patter and Mike O'Connor were given E for effort, as that was about all they got from Bessie. The winners, in descending order, were Hay township representative John Elder, Tony Bedard, Keith Westlake and Claire Deichert followed by Zurich's Isidaore LaPorte, Reeve Van Patter and Mike O'Connor. (Hay reeve Lionel Wilder and councillor Murray Keys were unable to attend.) "This sho'.vs the township can milk the constituents bet- ter than the town", conclud- ed the seventh -place finisher. Lansbergen then showed the contestants how he milks a cow. The little calf was led to her mother, and im- mediately mmediately plunged in to her late breakfast. All the contestants earned praise for their good humour and sportsmanship. After viewing the exhibits in the women's section, Dolores Shapton, junior con- vener of the ladies' section of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies, said the exhibits were very good for a small fair, but she would like to see more. She assumes the heat wave kept many would -6e entrants out of their kitchens this year. The children's contests were another popular feature of this year's fair. The sawdust flew through the air a� the pavilion as boys and girls searched for $40 in coins hidden in four inches of wood shavings. All were winners, as everyone was allowed to keep all the coins he or she found. Dale Miller and Kathy Merner won the watermelon - eating contests, and a melon to take home to practice on for next year's contest. The baby show drew quite a few entries in each of the, four categories. Judges Don- I na Hoffman and Kathy; Hayter, Dashwood, had the difficult task of picking the winners. The two, both RNAs, were looking not just for beauty, but how each child compared with the average in that age group. They com- pared birth weight with the baby's present weight, asked about diet and shots, and checked each child's ability to perform the functions normal for that age group. As the judges were from out of town, and knew the babies by number, not name, they,; were able to be impartial and unbiased. Contest organizer Bonnie Schenk said the judges deserved a lot of credit. She had received 28 refusals before the two ladies agreed to act as judges. The Buzzin' Dozen Euchre Club won first prize in the parade for the theme float, with Hensall Centennial plac- ing second. Dana Rowan and Pam Crete won for best fan- cy float, and Chad Desjardine and Heidi for best comic float. The Village Floral shop had the best business float: Best comic costume went to Andrea and Jason Bedard and Jason Cook. Best comic couple in the, parade were Doug Willert and Wade Suplat and the fancy costume prize went to Melanie and Alicia Crete. Hensall Co-op had the prize commercial horse team, and Alvin Dutot the best non- commercial pony team. Melissa )Iowan won tor her decorated trike, and Jamie Hoy for his bike. 4-H winners included Caroline Tickner for top horse and tops in horse showman- ship. Mark Erb, Mark Lansbergen and Martha Klopp all received red ribbons for their beef calves and Mar- tha Klopp for showmanship. In dairy, Anne Deichert received first for confirma- tion, and Ian Thiel for showmanship. Best overall showmanship award went to Martha Klopp. Wrist wrestling champs were: up to 140 pounds, Joey Groot; 141 to 160, Fred Ducharme; 161 to 180, Jeff Forrester; 181 to 200, Dennis Jeffrey; 201 and over, Dan Turkehim and last but not least, ladies' champion Velma Minhinnick. �Bluewafer TV & Aerial Service Delhi & Channel Master Antennas - Towers Boosters Repairs to all makes of TV's Zurich 236-4224 1 Best Interest 12% Guaranteed Investment Certificates *subject to change Gaiser•Kneale Insurance Brokers Inc.
