event r another bullseye v seems as if the georgetown fall fair is gaining momentum with old age and the i 01st annual was in every way the equal of the centennia last year the ticket wickets were kept humming from 1 30 until af ter 4 oclock and it was a surprise to your editor to learn later that gate receipts were slightly lower than last year for the customers seemed to be streaming in just as fast qnce again we were parked behind the win dow handling money for most of the afternoon and with a small daughter whose main interest was in mer rygorounds and fluffy candy to chaperone later we missed a great deal of interest and a lot of our fair zjressions are gained second hand from those whose e was more free we did hear more than one comment that the hall was at its finest the ladies work section continues to improve in quantity of entries with a prize winning cook in the family this was one place we did take a good look and the pottery demonstrations by mr jesse wyatt and members of the arts and crafts drew many eyes at the armouries entrance school work again took up a good quarter of the hall and it continues to amaze us what the youngsters can do too bad the grade 7 prize winning mural was not back in time from the cnf for many were looking for it increased rnerchant cooperation resulted in many displays in the hall and in a big tent specially erected for this purpose and all exhibitors seemed well satisfied with results attained exhibitors included dick riddall brill s norton floral and rosedale flqral in the big hall and richardsons hardware mcclure home furnishings goodlet s hardware georgetown furniture sales and g r muckart in the tent mr muckart had an interesting lot of pictures of homes and stores wired by him with red seal wiring in the centre of the field georgetown motors hewson mo tors and scott motor sales all had their products on display we missed the leggette brothersfrom oshawa who scored a hit with their riding hope they 11 return next year and well makeit a point to catch their act the stanger midway lived up to expectations not quite as flashy as the cne midway but they kept their prices within range and gave value for the money they promise to be here again next year with the addition of j ferns wheel we dont think the directors of esquesing agri cultural society are expecting any individual praise for another
