DON IRVINE 108 WAVERLEY ROAD BOWMANVILLE 6234482 Like a good neighbor. Slate Farm is there. evening grandstand show, "The Caribbean Show." A bit later, however this group moved into the arena and presented a very delightful show, complete with exotic dancers, fire-eating etc. However, this did conflict somewhat with the "Fiddlers Contest" on stage, but each type of entertainment brought its own followers, so all were entertained. Saturday again loomed threatening, but kept off for parade and all day. Many took advantage of the Fireman's Fireman's Pancake breakfast and then enjoyed the Parade. Saturday night's dance was a sell-out and people were turned away, an excellent music group "The Walters Family Band" provided the music. More news later on the Rock Band Competitions, held Saturday night in Orono Orono Town Hall, we hear there were 6 in competiton. This attraction again drew a hugh crowd. One sure thing many people missed this year, was the Durham Apple Growers display and sale of "Town of Newcastle's" most delicious fruit, the apple. Apple Apple picking is of course in full swing, but even the inside fruit competitions were very scarce. Another brand new feature this year, The Town of Newcastle Newcastle Community Services set up a large tent at the north corner of the grounds, this called "The Hospitality Tent." Some organizations took advantage of this free form of advertising for their group's activities; but many more could have joined in. We were supplied tables chairs, and free cookies and coffee. For those of us who set up, we would sincerely like to thank those in charge. Orono Horticulture enjoyed meeting meeting old friends and also some brand new members. Sunday's agenda rolled into full swing with the "Mellotones' r (our local orchestra) orchestra) warming up with CIDER SEASON IS You're Invited to our Fall OUS€ 8 ff - J Tyrone mill at TYRONE MILL (7 miles north of Bowmanville on Liberty St. N. in the Hamlet of Tyrone) Saturday, September 19th --9 a.m.-5 p.m. * Mill Tours * Sawing Demonstrations * Cider Pressing * Donuts * Apple Drying Come and see how one of Ontario's oldest authentic water-powered mill operate: Celebrate the start of apple season with us, and sample some fresh cider.
