Bev and Joe Fry were hon-
oured by the Ripley Agricul-
tural Society for 35 years of
service to the 153rd Ripley -
Huron Fall Fair.
The pair were honoured
with an Award of Merit pre-
sented on stage during the
ceremonies following the
Mammoth Parade on Sept.
24, 2016.
Bev credit the volunteers
that came before them and
shared stories of her passion
for the event, what it means
to her family and friends.
She said the event wouldn't
be what it is without the tire-
less work of volunteers, and
the work they do behind the
scenes.
Sunny skies shone down
on the Sept. 23-24, 2016
event, with the Mammoth
Parade rolling through Rip-
ley and into the fairgrounds.
The Carter Shows midway
was a popular attraction, as
were the many agricultural
animal displays from sheep,
cattle, poultry and the horse
show, to a petting zoo and
pony rides.
On top of the many classic
cars that turned out, chil-
dren had the chance to
'Meet a Mega Machine', with
a number of pieces of heavy
equipment and farm
machinery on hand.
Huron County Chuckers
had axe throwing, while
the traditional nail driving
and other events were also
on the docket the night
before.
The arena floor was
packed with agricultural dis-
plays, competing crops,
crafts and other items.
Friday night was a cele-
bration for the new Ripley
ambassador Bethany
Wilken, who could be seen
waving from a classic car in
the Mammoth Parade on
Saturday.
The evening wrapped up
with the fall fair dance, with
Crazymaker playing to the
crowd.
