This is the fi rst year the fair will feature a two-day hunter and jumper show, on both Saturday and Sunday. One of the biggest challenges the fair fac- es each year is membership, said Nurse. "While a handful of hardworking, tire- less volunteers keep the Fair running every year, we desperately need new members and volunteers to help put on this event. A large portion of our members are getting older and cannot do as much as they once did. So I hope that the newly retired that have the interest and time to devote to the Fair, as well as young families and youth, get involved," said Nurse. "Despite the challenges we face every year putting on this event, the George- town Agricultural Society is trying hard to continually improve the fair and make this fair better than the last," said Nurse. "I in- vite everyone to come out and enjoy all the Fair has to offer!" A weekend pass to the fair is $15, $10 for adults on Sunday, $6 Friday and Sun- day, children 7 to 12 $3, and children un- der 6 get in free.
