28 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, August 25, 1987 Scugog Island Area News by Mrs. Earl Reader With all the controversy over the Fairgrounds in the past, we wondered how it might affect the Fair this year. Well, we learn that plans have settled down and the Fair Board is far from discouraged and is proving it in a better than ever Fair planned for September 5, 6 & 7. The following will give you a general idea of some of the things you may expect: A clown contest on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. to start off for children up to 12 years with cash prizes. Free contests for the children include a colouring contest up to 12 years on Saturday in the "Home Craft" building. Watch for the sign on the building. The children will also enjoy the Petting Zoo with a variety of animals. Other entertainment will include a Fiddler's Contest, a Tractor Pull and the "Golden Helment" display on Monday at 11:30 a.m. Of course we could not have a Fair without exhibits of all kinds. So ladies & others, you have barely 2° weeks left to plan yours if you have not already done so.
