craftsmen from this district
Over 60 craftsmen, not to .
mention 25 bakers .and
„%everal participants who will
offer fresh farm produce, are
making the final preparations
for . the eleventh annual
Colborne Christmas Fair,.
The fair this year, ,as it has
been •for the •paast.three, will
be;; staged at the Saltford
Valley Hall. Dates have been ,
" set,. for Wednesday, October ,
20 arid. Saturday, October 23.'
According to fa t...corivener,
Mrs. Evelyn Hardy, the split
dates are used because
prospective shoppers seem, to..
have either Wednesday or
Saturday afternoon free and
to allow participants, par-
ticularly chose .offering baked
goods, ti,pze to restock their
tables.
' Twenty-seven of those 60
craftsmen will be from
Colborne Township itself, 'the
' original home of the fair.
Most of the others, according
to Mrs. Hardy, . will come
from Huron County but
several will come from points
further afield.
"We don't throw . the fair
wide open - to . anyone," she
explained, "but look for those
offering different, or out of
the ordinary, crafts.'
Mrs.. lardy explains that
the fair is in fact organized by'
the participating craftsmen
themselves. Each craftsman
pays • so much .toward the
expenses and .. anyfunds
gained by the ''group as a
whole _(such as admission
fees)' go to paying forLhe hall
and to meet the fair's annual
advertising budget of more
than $1,000. •
One cif , the regular par-
ticipants, Mrs. Courtland
Kerr, wijl• be. back again this,
year with her 'everpopular
quilts. Mrs. Kerr has been.
taking part in .:t1 ea1+fair now
more than eight years. •
. She will have five crib
quilts and three carriage
covers, which she has
completed over the past year,
on display. In addition to
those items, Mrs. Kerr has
also co-operated with Mrs.
Edna" Moore, Mrs.'Tryne• de
Groot, Mrs. Ila Bean ;'arid
Mrs. Grace Easom (all of the
Benmiller area)• on a full size
quilt.
"Each year, shortly after
New Year's," she explains,
"we get together and pick out
`a pattern Then I order the
material and each member of.
the 'group begins m,aking the
patches. As sootl'.as the pieces
are ready, we get together
and :.assertible them- into . a
quilt."
This quilt is then offered as
a raffle prize with money
raised going toward meeting
advertising costs.
Mrs. Kerr says she can't
even,remember first learning
the fine art of quilting.
learned it from 'Xny
motherr she says, "and- it
had to be right. If it wasn't the
stitching was torn out and
done over.'.' . Mrs. Kerr's
mother was .atailoress in the
days when fine 'clothes were.
all made by hand. - -
Fair convener, Evelyn
Hardy, explains that over the
years, Mrs. Kerr's quilts
have become one of the most
popular items offered at. the
Christmas Fair.
Another craftsman, of a
'slightly "different talent, is
making finalpreparations for
the Fair in his basement
workshop at 233 Eldon Street
' in Goder'ich.' Hobbiest Don
Kenwell is turning out toys in
wood which will light up the
eyes of "some lucky
youngsters on .Christmas
morning.
Mr. Kenwell will have
about 65 items` for sale at this
year's Colborne Christmas -
Fair, of 90 to 45 different -
types. His toys range in size -
from miniature cars, trucks
*and -buses, to .a log . cabin
which stands over a foot high.
The cabin, by the way, can be-
taken completely apart and
rebuilt by the child: .
The Most popular item he
has found is a tractor -trailer
type "box truck". But
Christmas shoppers will also
