up for c Organizers are disappointed but Acton fair is a success Although organizers are a bit disappointed wiih Sunday turnout for Acton Ih annual fall fair it was stilt a very successful fair spokesman We had two good profit able days Friday day soys fair board vice president Brian Evans The weather Is just one things you can do anything Organizers say the Friday night attendance was up by to people over last year show Mr Eians soys They had 20 teams entered in the horse pull and have had a lot or good comments on the show presented by the Irish New Were just super happy with the way the horse pull turned out this year says president Brent Marshall There s no point in changing the time on that It really satisfied everyone Saturday attendance too Is expected be higher than last year Mr Evans though they have no accurate figures at this time We gate price this so we can really say Just yel what those extra dollars work out lo In terms or people he says All I know is that we re up In attendance from last year and I think we even Tho only worry have this point Is whether Sunday bad weather will cut too drastically into their breed class exhibits and cause them as a class air To remain class fair a fair must pay up to in prize money for its breeding classes such as heavy horses beef and dairy cattle sheep and hogs light horses on the line and some ponies Mr Evans soys We could sure have used Chapel school purchase The board or cducal Ion voted Thursday night to accept a bid of purchase the Chapel Street School The bid to buy the 109year old school came from the firm ReedCooper Limited A spokesman for the firm said pluns for the property are not being made publte a I present but would be released in tho near future Although the horse show dairy cattle exhibits and trac lor pull were all called off at a m unday the midway the hall was open and the pet show and fashion show went on as scheduled Mr Evans says There was no gale charge on Sunday we feet it was fair to charge the people of Acton for half a show Mr Evans says We had a lot of horses entered in both Ihe English and Western events but we cancelled it because it l safe for the horses or the riders A loi of tractors came in in the morn ing too but we had to call off the tractor pull We didn t want to chop up the grounds loo much In all that wet Mr Evans noted that entries were up in a lol of classes this year including heavy horses the pony show and hall bits Its too bad we had to cancel the dairy show Mr Marshall says The dairy show would have been second to none I was even old it would have equalled the Black and White show In Milton Saturdays Old Time Fid dlcrs competition ran nearly four hours as contestants showed heir skills We even had entries from down in the United States Mr Evans says because we advertised at the Shelburne Old Time Fiddlers contest One of Mr Marshall s big regrets is that the firemen water ball contest had to be cancelled Wehadl5or 16 teams both menandwomen lined upfrom Georgetown Milton Rock wood and as well as Acton he says would have been a real treat for Acton people since no one In the area except firefighters has ever seen the competition CKOC television even wanted to come In and film it The competition is tentative ly rescheduled for this Sunday afternoon at Prospect Park but Mr Marshall says cations may arise and the whole show may have to called off again Look out or Mr Marshall says There a good feeling about the board this year Lol s of new ideas and changes ore In he making for next year Wcve had a very
