This years edi- tion, our 93rd annual starts tomorrow (Friday, Septem- ber 15) and runs through to Sunday. Acton has wel- comed many new residents the past few years and I especially encourage them to attend our fair. Then you will realize, as long time residents have known for years, that the Acton Fair has earned its reputation as one of the best little fairs in Ontario. Friday, from 10a.m. to 3p.m. is education day. This popular event gives our young school children an opportunity to see the exhibits, have lunch and a hayride while the park is closed to other attendees. I hasten to add that pre-school children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Seniors are wel- come to attend Education Day also. Education Day is a great opportunity for school chil- dren to get a sense of Actons agricultural roots. The rides and midway games will not be open. Theres lots to see and do though, and the chil- dren have a ball. Ken Jens Petting Zoo should be in full operation. At 4p.m. the gates open but please note the midway rides usually dont start until around 6p.m. Friday evening we have the heavy horse pull, all the exhibits and, of course, the Miss Acton Fall Fair Pageant. During the Miss Acton Pageant you will be en- tertained, not only by the poise and talents of the contestants, but also by The Essentials. This in- ternationally known group sings A Capella. Before we get too far into the jam packed schedule of events a word about parking. Its going to be in short sup- ply this year. We will always have room for handicapped parking for those who have the appropriate identifica- tion on the car. We will try to accommodate any seniors with mobility problems if you speak to the nice people at the front gate. All others, please walk to the fair or look for off-site parking. The reason for the park- ing shortage this year is two-fold. Firstly, the con- struction for the Rotary bandshell has been started and hoarding will be around it. Secondly, the Acton Ag- ricultural Society will have a display set up next to the tennis courts. More on that later in this column. Tyler Transport will be running its shuttle bus between the fairgrounds and the legion parking lot Saturday and Sunday. There are two free public parking lots just off Mill St., one block east of Main. From there its just a short walk to the fair- grounds. Saturday will be an action packed day. The midway will be roaring, beef cattle, Jr. 4-H show, western horse show, and many other ac- tivities make for a busy morning. At noon the an- nual parade will start at McKenzie-Smith School and proceed down Mill St. to the fair. Please note: There are huge lineups at the roundhouse immediately following the parade. Chaos would be an understatement. Children and infants are everywhere. For safetys sake, no ve- hicles will be allowed down Knox or along Park from Mill for about 45 mins. after the parade reaches the fair. Regular fairgoers know that its wise to purchase your entry ticket before the parade reaches the fair- grounds. Actually, the best deal for admissions is a three day pass. Each stub is good for one admission for one day.
