Why two parades of course! That is exact- ly what Dungannon's 128th Fair is offering. On Friday evening, Aug. 14, the Children's Pet Parade will take place at 7 p.m. at the Dungannon Agricultural Park. Pre-schoolers and Elementary school kids will have a chance to show their favourite pet or pets but each animal must be suitably caged or leashed. Formerly, pets, poultry and goats were judged and shown on the Saturday of the fair but this year, all are to be entered in the Friday night Pet Parade. A total of 22 classes will be judged with a prize for first and second in each class but the best part is that every child who shows a pet will receive a gift. The second parade at the Dungannon Fair is the main one, leaving the United Church corner at 12 noon. Sat., Aug. 15. Participants are asked to be in place well before 11:30 a.m. for judging. A parade entry is a great way to adver- tise a business or a coming event or to en- courage though on a particular issue. It can show that your organizatin or club is actively involved in your community or it can say thanks for any number of reasons. A family can proudly proclaim its heritage. A particularly prized possession can be displayed. A special talent can be used for entertainment. Whatever the reason, taking part in a parade is a lot of fun. Besides the children's classes, there are also: Most Humorous Float, Most Original Float, School Entry, Best Organization or Club entry, Best Vintage Vehicle and Best Pony and Cart or Pony and Rider. Please register early at the Dungannon United Church corner so your entry can be included in the judging Take your choice of parades - either the Children's Pet Parade or the Fair Parade or enter both! After all, two parades have to be twice as much fun as one! Introducing the Queen of the Fair contestants Marcia Boak, daughter_ of.
