With many features being added, next week's Exeter
Fall Fair promises to be bigger and better than ever. The
114th presentation of this annual event is again a two-day
affair, Wednesday and Thursday, September 18 and 19.
The fair will open Wednesday evening and the first
show promises to be even more entertaining than last year's
Centennial version.
The always popular baby show is again expected to
draw a large number of entrants. The baby show is divided
into three classes for the judging competition.
First on the list will be infants four months of age and
younger, following with five to eight months of age and a
class for babies nine months to one year.
Special prizes will be awarded for any twins entered in
the contest.
A beauty queen will be crowned Wednesday night.
This event was included in the 1966 fair and proved to be a
huge success each time it was held.
Carfrey Cann again in charge of the beauty contest is
hoping to have at least six contestants.:
A slight change is being made in the method of
choosing a champion cook this year. Area ladies will have a
chance to place entries in any or all of the 23 sections of
class 50.
The lady compiling the most points in this class will be
crowned baking queen Wednesday night and presented in
front of the grandstand Thursday afternoon.
Special entertainment at the Wednesday evening
presentation will be provided by Bonnie Norris, a step
dancing specialist from Cron2arty
Exeter's Mayor Jack Delbridge and other local
dignitaries will officially open .the fair, Wednesday evening.
Secretary Garnet Hicks reports that many requests for
exhibit space at the arena have been coming in early and
stalls could be at a premium by fair day.
The big show on Thursday will start away with a
gigantic parade leaving the area of Cann's Elevators and the
Co-op mills at 12:30
The parade will be led by the Zurich Citizens band and
majorettes and will feature many colorful floats and
decorated vehicles. The new fair queen crowned Wednesday
night will be riding in the parade.
The highlight of the Thursday afternoon program in
front of the grandstand will be the appearance of Earl
Heywood and Martha of CKNX radio and television fame
and RCA Victor recording artists.
The rodeo ring now a permanent fixture at the local
fair grounds will house many of the horse show attractions,
which can be viewed from the grandstand.
The horse show held in conjunction with the
afternoon, program hgs the reputation of being one of the
finest in the province. Many prize winners from the recent
CNE and Western Fair will be in attendance. Some will then
head for the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.
Most of the exhibits of school children, vegetable
growers, florists and area farmers will be similar to other
years along with an excellent ladies' section.
The 4-H competition will again be open in many
fields. Members of the area forage clubs will show their
projects with sweet corn, field corn and calf clubs.
The fair concludes with a Thursday night dance. Roger
Quick and his orchestra will supply the music.
