It was just too bad that the weather didn't co-operate this year, but it didn't put a total damper on all the fun and ac- tivities. The parade, as usual, was excellent thanks to all the efforts of the ladies in Group 74. Al the floats were so good, I don't know how they came up with the winners. I understand the tractor pulls on Friday night dr- ew some 7,000 people which goes to show that an agricultural fair is not considered "hokey" by a lot of people, as has been inferred in the past. Perhaps an emphasis on the agricultural side of the fair should be considered in future years. Many events had to be cancelled, especially on Sunday, which was a shame, but old mister weather just didn't co-operate. The Mitchell brothers, Don and Bruce, still went ahead with their now famous nail driving and log-sawing contests. This has to be a highlight of the fair. I think there were more con- testants this year than ever before. I know it was a joy to watch. Congratulations to all the winners, and a cheer for all the contestants, some of whom gave us all a good laugh.
