The Lucknow Sentinel, 2015-09-23, Page 5Wednesday, September 23, 2015 • Lucknow Sentinel 5 www.lucknowsentinel.com Luknow News Ruth Dobrensky Once again, our Luc - know Fall Fair was a huge success. For those of you who were unable to attend, you missed a great fair. There was a great parade and a myriad of displays, exhibits, and fun things to observe and take part in. Just checking out all the wonderful exhibits of crafts, home baking, canning, sheep and poultry, along with all the entertainment, the Sunday morning break- fast and community church service, was worth the time spent perusing over the weekend. Congrats to all the organizers and all who took part. If you haven't had your fill of fall fairs, this coming weekend you can take in the Ripley Fall Fair and their mammoth parade. I see that many also took part in the annual Terry Fox Run, a very worthy cause and one that was written about very elo- quently by Joan Chamney in her letter to the editor in last week's paper. I am also a cancer survivor and heard recently that there is a new heritage minute to honour Terry Fox and all he did to inspire us. Congratulations to the 4-H Club on its 100th anni- versary in Ontario. This is a wonderful organization that has inspired youth around the world to choose careers that are related to agricul- ture and is now dedicated to educating anyone who wishes to join the organization.
