Fall Fair Flair reat weather and an excellent assortment of attractions made the 1992 Georgetown Fall Fair a huge success. > | The fair featured a concert by the Grapes of Wrath on Friday and Wayne Rostad on Saturday along with the midway and all the agricultural and craft displays and exhibits. The only glich came Friday night when someone threw a mili- tary-type "Thunderflash" grenade onto the Grapes stage. The device is used by police and the military in hostage situa- tions. The grenade produces a blinding light and loud explosion when detonated. No one was injured in Friday's incident and after the concert ended fans left without any problems. The rest of the fair went without a problem. Here's a look at some of the people and events that made the annual event a success.

The panel, entered by the Credit Valley Artisans, won a first-place ribbon, a Judge’s Special rosette and a $50 prize offered by the Arts and Crafts of Georgetown in commemoration of its 50th anniversary.
