FAIR WEEK
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 •
(Juanita) Schiestel on wash board
and Mrs. Ernie (Pat) Schiestel on
the slab of tin. It •was the first
public appearance for ,the Stomp-
ers, most ofwhom are from the
Teeswater area.
The Fair grounds were a bee hive
of activity on. Friday and Saturday
morning as directors and fair
workers all pitched in ' to make
ready .for the afternoon's program
on Saturday.
The Fair parade, known far and
wide as always being a good one,
once again came through in flying
colours. With the Lucknow Reun-
ion this summer, and the many
floats that were made ready for this
event, one might have expected a
slight drop in the number in the
Fair parade, but this was not the
case. •Once again the parade was a
real dandy and drew the compli-
ments of people far and wide.
Mount Forest High School Band,
Brussels Legion Pipe Band and
Lucknow Concert Band provided
the music in the parade. The
parade was headed by Mrs. Ron
Alton and Doug Campbell of
Lucknow and Mrs. Bill Hall of
Deemerton with theit fine saddle
hOrses. Fair officials, members of
parliament and local ' municipal
officials followed. Miss Dominion
of Canada and all contestants in the
Miss Midwestern Ontario Beauty,
Contest rode in open cars in the
parade.
Crawford Douglas, who has
acted as master of ceremonies at
the fair for several years, again did
this job, this time as the Federal
Member of Parliament for Bruce, a
position he was elected to in July.
Murray Gaunt was unable to
remain for the speeches and Mr.
Douglas brought greetings on his
behalf. Bob McKinley,. Federal
member for Huron, was unable to
attend the Fair for the first time in
several years. He was involved
with a meeting elsewhere.
Those who brought greetings in
the opening ceremonies were
Councillor Oliver Glenn for the
village of Lucknow; Warren Zinn,
deputy -reeve of. Ashfield; Leo
Murray, Reeve of Kinloss and Bob
Lyons, Reeve of West Wawanosh.
Stewart Hall, 1st vice president of
the Fairs Association of Ontario,
brought greetings from that group.
J. •P. Johnstone, Reeve of St.
Edmunds Township and Warden of
Bruce County, officially opened the
fair.
Glen Walden, president of the
Lucknow Agricultural Society, ex-
tended a welcome and thanked all
the many fair workers who had
assisted in making the day poss-
ible. •
• Ross and Elaine Errington, sec-
retary -treasurer of the Fall Fair,
had a busy time from early Friday
until late Sunday and much of the
Fair results you are 'reading about
this week is a direct result of their
efforts on behalf of the Fall Fair.
Trying to tabulate results of the.
Fair in the short time available is a
big job for this newspaper and the
assistance of Ross and 'Elaine
certainly is appreciated by The
Sentinel.
Another Fair worker who had a
heavy task on Saturday is Ron
Alton of Lucknow who did the
announcing in the horse judging
rings.Ron had an early start in the
afternoon and was winding up the
last events about 6 p.m. The
saddle horse classes at the Fair
have increased in numbers in
recent years and now are one of the
features of the, Fair.
Each entry in the Miss Midwest-
ern Ontario Beauty Contest was
called to the outside platform and
spoke briefly as did Miss Dominion
of Canada and Lorie Ritchie, last
year's winner of the contest. The
Ding-a-lings from Brussels enter-
tained on the platform throughout
the afternoon. Lucknow Band and
Brussels Pipe Band played several
musical selections.
Because the day started out quite
cool, the baby contest was moved
into the arena. Other demonstra-
• tions took place in the arena during
the afternoon..
An interesting division of the
Fair this year was 'old MacDon-
ald's farm', set up primarily for the
interest of, children but which
attracted a good deal of interest
from all age groups. Shadow and
her colt Darwin were there courtesy
of Sharon Campbell; Rebecca and
Rachael, a pair of sheep courtesy of
Jack Ritchie; little orphan Nanny,
a goat courtesy of Jackilrwin; three
little pigs courtesy of Cliff Menary;
Melinda, a•Holstein calf courtesy of
Glen Walden; Kelly, a dog courtesy
of Jason Cameron; Ginny and
Gerald, guinea hens courtesy of
Clayton Alton; •Peter and Pals,
rabbits courtesy of Merle Gunby;
the Bantam hen family, courtesy of
Kenny Wilkins; Mrs. Cat and clan,
courtesy of Jack Wraith. It was an
excellent show for those who very
often never get a look at these farm
animals.
TheLucknow Agricultural Soc-
iety took a forward step in
improving the grounds, one of
several in the making. A new cattle
fence was erected to the west of the
swimming pool, leaving room for
future picnic and playground facil-
Jim Swan of Wingham was
master of ceremonies for the
Saturday evening program which
featured the crowning of Miss
Midwestern Ontario.
Clare Adlam and his group from
Durham prOvided the background
entertainment for the program
which included Anna Marie Red-
mond, 14 Canadian junior step
dance champion and Ted Elliott,
the Canadian- junior champion in
the male division.

Ballagh family and Ken Wall front

eived by the audience for their

Wingham, the Country Steppers, a
lively group of three step dancers
