There is little deubt in the
minds of the officials of Exeter
Fall Fair that the Baby Show, set
this year for Wednesday evening,
September 22 at 8:30 p.m. is one
of the biggest crowd pleasers
ever.
Whether mother's pride and joy
is cuddled in a blanket or an ad-
venturous almost-toddler, there
is a special spotlight for each.
Classes have been arranged for
babies from one month to four
months, little ones aged four
months to eight months and tiny
tots from eight months to twelve
months.
If mother's joy has been doub-
led by a set of twins, there is a
class for them.
Last year about 45 mothers and
babies entered in the contest
Baby show a real
crowd pleaser
ing for the convenience of fair.
goers.
At 8:30 p.m. the Baby Show will
be staged. Babies between the
ages of one and twelve Moreths,
may be entered in the contest
which has four classes, each of-
ering a first and second prize.
The Canadian. Legion, Exeter
Branch, is sponsoring Bingo in
the arena. Play will progress
throughout the evening with lots
of opportunity for prizes and fun
for the whole family.
For Wednesday evening only,
admission to the grounds is a
very reasonable SW.
Visitors to the Exeter fair will
be treated to some of the finest
music and precision drills ever
seen here Thursday, September
23. The famous all-girl Drum and
Bugle Corp, the Sarnia Lionettes
have agreed to visit the fair to
perform their 1965 program.
This is the twentieth anniversary
of the carp which has won inter-
national praise. The girls have
been given the title of, "Canada's
Ambassadors of Goodwill".
This internationally famous
all-girl Drum and Bugle Corps
was founded in the fall of 1945
by its present Corps Commander,
Jack Mann, and has gained quite
a reputation in parade and field
contests. In eleven years of com-
petition, the Lionettes have won
nine Michigan VFW State Cham-
pionships, three Canadian Na-
tional Championships, and count-
less other awards.
The Corps is affiliated with
the Sarnia Lions' Club and the
Tenth District of the Michigan
State VFW and has travelled most
extensively throughout the North-
ern United States and Canada.
In its twenty years of existence,
the Corps is estimated to have
covered in excess of 90,000
miles. In these travels, the girls
have made very numerous friends
and have been privileged to enter-
tain quite a few notable personali-
ties including State Governors,
Prime Ministers and others. In
1959, the Lionettes had the great
privilege of playing a concert
for H.M. Queen Elizabeth II and
H.R.H. Prince Phillip.
In this, their twentieth anniver-
sary year, the Lionettes are again
presenting a show which, by the
precision of its drills and par-
ticularly attractive musical ar-
rangements, is intended to give
the public maximum enjoyment.
The blending of the Corps' uni-
forms of purple and gold together
with the flashy brass of their
instruments, the three national
flags and ten Canadian provincial
flags carried by the colour guard,
make up a most colourful spec-
tacle.
The Lionettes' repertoire this
year includes 'Heatwave', 'The
March of the Toy Soldiers',
'Charade', 'What a Difference
A Day Makes', 'Whatever Lola
Wants', the fanfare from the film
'The Ten Commandments', the
love theme from 'Samson and
Delilah' and, finally, 'Venus'.
In the past two months, the
Lionettes have covered in ex-
cess of 4000 miles through the
Northern United States and
Northern Ontario. In a six-day
tour of Wisconsin and Illinois,
the Lionettes were privileged to
appear in seven cities including
Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Wood-
stock, Illinois.
Because of their many inter-
national ties and the friendships
created by their appearances,
the Sarnia Lionettes have earned
the title of 'Canada's Ambas-
sadors of Goodwill'.
To honor
fair booster
Ken Rennie, Mitchell, presi-
dent of the Class "B" Associa-
tion of Fall Fairs of Ontario
will be on hand Thursday after-
noon, September 23, to officially
open the 111th edition of Exeter
Fall Fair.
A special feature of this year's
opening program will be the pre-
sentation of an Agriculture Ser-
vice Diploma to J. Wellington
Hern, Exeter. This presentation
is made to Mr. Horn in recog-
nition of the service he has
rendered to the success of the
fair in past years.
For at least 50 years Mr.
Bern has worked with the fair
board to the betterment of the
event which has become a well-
ldved annual outing. He has been
connected with the direction of
the horse show and in recent
years has assisted with the flow-
er display.
Other dignitaries who will take
part in the opening are Huron's
Warden Glenn Webb, RR 2 Dash-
wood, Mayor Jack Delbridge, Ex-
eter, and president of the fair
executive Winston Shapton, RR 1
Exeter.
THE LARGEST FAMILY
One prize to be awarded at
Exeter Fall Fair next week may
not necessarily go to an exhibitor
. . In fact, it is perhaps more
likely that the person not weighed
down with the responsibility of a
display' will take the honor.
A special prize is to be given
to the largest family in attendance
at the fairf
The fair board realizes that
the success of a fair depends on
the people who attend . and
that extra bit of energy it takes
to ready an entire family for the
outing demands some considera-
tion.
