Judging Senior entries in Project Fair Reminiscing The following is a letter submitted to the Durham Central Fair Board for their annual banquet held last week in the Orono Church. Len Pears outlines his beginning with the fair some twenty years ago. Mr. President, distinguished distinguished guests, members of the fair board and friends. It was with surpirse and delight that I learned that the board was bestowing this honor upon me, and I deeply regret that I am unable to be with you in person, however, I am entrusting my wife, Rena, to your care to accept this award on my behalf. I think that we have missed only one banquet before this and I know that a little speech is expected at this time, and if you don't mind mine by pro- 'xy I will let you in on a few of my experiences encountered with my very first association ; th the fair, and hope that u will find it as interesting now as I did then. At that time Orono Fair was only one day and I was recruited by my long time friend, Rby Forrester (Old MacDonald) to help out on * "The Farm". We had a big white tent with blue flags pitched pitched away up beside the midway, midway, and although it looked more like a yacht club than a farm, we were full of enthusiasm enthusiasm and by Wednesday of fair week had piled up a truck load of Don Staples baled straw into two rows of neat pens with a wide aisle up the centre. „ We didn't know it but the boys working, at putting up the carnival immediately took it over as their private hotel.

The first stop was at the Maartense farm where Peter gave us a great grey rabbit* that walked along on it's front feet while the remainder remainder of him spiralled straight up into the air, and the last stop netted us a huge mad goose with a few goslings goslings not long hatched. , By midnight we were finished unloading with every curious creature installed into its own straw enclosure, ready for exhibition the next day. There was a calf with five legs and a red Tam worth sow with a litter of 10, a ram with oddly twisted horns, an assortment of ducks, fowl and small animals, a big black collie with eight pups and a goat or two complete with kids. Old MacDonald always went for momma and the kids. We closed up the tent, agreeing to meet there early in the morning and went our separate ways. I hope that Old MacDonald MacDonald is listening, and also Dane Fotlnd, if he is able. It was faifly early in the morning when I showed "up and yet there was a small crowd outside the tent' and not a little hostile toward Old, 1 Mac himself.
