Editer New fuatures sparkle Not only did the weather forsake the predictions of the forcasters of rain but did pro- vide bright sunshine throughout the three and a haif days of the fair. Certainly the weather.set the atmosphere for the annual Orono Fair and then many of the new features sparkled to the delight of alImost 15,000 in attendance. The Bicentennial parade on Saturday was the big new feature in which local and area citizens took part with the parade in fact becoming a coin- munity effort. The parade had everything from those Bygone Days to humor, action, youth involve- ment, and a freshness which too often is lacking. 0f course the bands were as much of the parade as the floats and entries by indivduals. It was a tremendous show and as the old, saying goes, "Everyone likes a parade" and everyone today who ýwitnessed the bicentennial event in Orono heap praise on the event. The Chariot and Chuckwagon races have also hit a nerve and many now express the delight this brought to the fair on Saturday evening. The teenagers found a niche in interest with the presen- tation of the Air Band and Break Dancing com- petition which, in itself, extended the interest fur- ther over the community. This is flot to forget about many of the traditional features which have provided the back bone for the faîl fair in Orono over many suc- cessive years. The fair stili holds to its agricullural background which without it would only become a circus. The sheep show shifted to Sunday received much better exposure than in previous years. Poultry, dairy and beef cattle and rabbiî shows' seemed up to par as did inside exhibits of flowers, vegetables, apples, needlecraft, baking etc. The harness horse races continue to draw its crowd as does the hunters and jumpers on Sun- day afternoon. The heavy horse show and carniage classes are somnewhat in trouble at the fair and do leave a gap for those interested in the outside show Satr - day afternoon, This is reaaly a big attraction at any fair and we suggest is something that must be addressed in onden tbàt this area of the fair can be bolstered in the future. This year the talent show and the old time fiddler's contest, lacked the numbens in competi- tion compared to former yeans.. It may be tem- ponary but then is must cause some concenn. The fair must keep abreast of the times and still maintain its agicultural flavoun and when one nealizes the Durbam Central Fair beld in Orono is the best in the area it then is worth making-îhat lit- le extra effort to make sure it holds ils place in the annual events of faîl fairs in Ontario. Il has corne a long way and many advance- ment have been most <successful. Ils a malter of keeping up the good work and it does take effort.
