Goderich fall fair was always held at Agrioulturai'Park, and the place lends itself very well to the various events which will , be staged. ' Farm Judging For instgfice, there •is adequate space for the judging of. farm pro- duce, livestock and poultry which will be conducted by Junior Farm- ers, 4-H and garden clubs from various sections of Huron... County. Then there is..a safety tractor driv- ing contest in which rural residents will be given an opportunity to show their "tractor -driving abilities. Actually, the trade fair has a program which will appeal ' to young and old alike. And, diverting a bit from the usual type of fall fair, the Kinsmen Trade Fair, will have a program each night, rather than just one night. ..Oh Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights there will be variety programs in the arena, and on the final night there "will be a stage show in front of the grand- stand at Agricultural Park as well The arena, Vacant in the summer,. was felt 'to be the ideal place for a fair, since industries and mercti ants could set up displays there. At first„the Kinsmen decided that the fair would be a three-day one. Then, they started to arrange the program and "to . sell space for the various exhibits and found that they would have to extend the fair into a four-day event. • A committee under the chairman- ship of Lorne Wakelin went to work on the project early in June and received an excellent response from, exhibitors. Forty-four booths in the arena and the parking lot outside were grabbed up by merchants and in- dustries within a short time; includes Midway The first trade fair to have been undertaken by a'service club here, the "Wade fair will include a Mid way which will be situated on the parking lot.
