Second prize went to Codie Goodman for her version of a song from “High School Musical’. Other competitors included Cori Good- man, Hannah Brummell and Brae Anne Brummell. All the future stars were winners in our estimation! Judges Reenie Thompson and Emily Fennell were both impressed by the quality of young talent. Thanks to Rob Kellough for his as- sistance with sound for the afternoon’s performances. The Story Tellers’ Stage featured Alice Miller, George Underhill, Bemie Gaw, Roy Rorabeck, Charlie Vincent, Su- zanne Paste! and Bruce Dowdell sharing stories their years in Milford and the surrounding community. They were delightful, funny and very entertaining stars in their own right. “Butterfinger” with Luther Wright and Dan Curtis was great fun for kids of all ages. The Night Stars Show opened with Gavin Massey’s origi- nal composition which was well received by the audience. The Mad Women of Marysburgh provided their usual great show and were followed by Luther Wright, Emily Fennell and Dan Curtis for a very enjoyable evening of wonderful music and cozy ambiance.

Our thanks also to the volunteers who gave of their time to make sure the event went smoothly. Milford Fair This year’s Milford Fair on Sept. 13" also helped to celebrate Milford 200. The fair parade began at 11:00 a.m. and was bigger and better than ever, I’m told. Not being local, it was my first experience of the Milford Fair, but I ran into friends from Picton who make sure to attend every year. The number of displays and prize win- ning entries was impressive, as was the number of vendors participating this year. The Baby show and Dog Show had. lots of fans as did the games, pumpkin and face painting. On the Fairgrounds stage, entertainment by Grandpa’s Goodtime Gang and Dr. Joe and his Medicine Show made for an afternoon of music and fun. Log sawing, nail driving and a tractor pull continued traditions of the fair from Mil- ford’s past. A road bowling match to Scott’s Mill and a ca- noe race on the Mill Pond both had their share of “upsets” to mark this Fair Day as unique. With a beef barbeque din- ner and the music of Lorain Sine and Friends for the night show, this Milford Fair had everything locals and visitors come to enjoy year after year. Cabbages, Flowers and Hay Fields A relaxed, afternoon of old-time music, grazing goats in the hay fields and home made candy served by children in peri- od costumes followed Milford Fair on Sept. 14", Black Walnut Gardens was the scene and those who attended thor- oughly enjoyed the flowers, the mounted photos of Mil- ford’s past and the exhibit of old farm and garden tools. In- formative stories were available throughout the gardens for guests to read themselves or to listen to as other readers passed on the information. guessing game got everyone trying to figure out the names of the various tools and what they were used for.

The songs were mostly old ballads that were evocative of the time period and perfect for Emily’s and Kim’s voices.
