Orono's fairgrounds are famous for the Durham Central Fair, of course. But, they are also becoming becoming a popular venue for outdoor outdoor events such as horse shows, dog shows, and RV camping clubs which have all used the buildings and grounds in the past year. Ron Locke, manager of the fair, notes that the seating and show ring built for the recent Ontario Finals Rodeo held at the fair has made the site more popular with groups holding horse shows. But, it's safe to say the fair is still the main event. "Overall, we average 12,000. for the four days," says Locke, in describing a typical turn-out to the fair. Organizers are hoping for an even bigger attendance this year, thanks to the reorganizing reorganizing of the Thursday evening events in an effort to attract more fair-goers on the first day. The fair is operated by the Durham Central Agricultural Society whose membership numbers over 500. They pay a modest, $5 membership fee which entitles them to voting privileges at the annual meeting meeting and two pass'es to the fair. Many of the members also volunteer to serve on various sub-committees of the fair. A volunteer board of directors runs the fair and the fairgrounds. Truck and Tractor Pull is for Remote Controlled Vehicles Remote controlled trucks and tractors may lack the size of the big machines in traditional traditional tractor pulls. But, pound-for-pound, they pack a lot of power. And, they're always a crowd-pleaser at the Orono Fair. Brian Cascagnette, of the Racer's Choice pulling club, says the remote controlled vehicles which weigh about 25 pounds can pull up to 160 pounds. This will be the seventh year that the remote controlled controlled vehicles have revved up their motors at the Orono Fair. The event usually attracts about 50 competitors and several hundred spectators. spectators. '"It's the same idea as the big guys, but we're one-tenth their size," Cascagnette explains. The vehicles come in both two-wheel and four-wheel Musical Searson The Searson Family, which is a headline act at the Orono Fair Saturday, September 6th, is a group that keeps alive the musical traditions of the Ottawa They'll be playing at one p.m. and three p.m. The Searsons (Mike, Valerie and their talented daughters, Erin, Heather and Colleen), live on their greatgrandfather's greatgrandfather's homestead near Eganville. Raising a family in a remote location, with no neighbours and only one station on the TV dial led the family to pursue its musical talents. The results are immediately immediately apparent, as you can see at this year's fair. The Searson Family will perform on the Arena Stage. drive and include tractors and trucks. There are a total of 11 classes in the event, with machines that range from vehicles assembled directly out of the box from a kit to those which are built from scratch, including hand-made transmissions and chassis. Look for the remote controlled controlled truck and tractor pull at the northwest corner of the fairgrounds. The pullers will be holding an open practice on Friday, with the main event taking place Saturday. Depending on weather, there may be a further demonstration demonstration of the vehicles on Sunday to conclude the fair. Cascagnette says remote controlled vehicles are a family family hobby which can be enjoyed by both parents and kids. Serious hobbyists often attend fairs as far away as Syracuse, Buffalo and Pennsylvania. And he adds that the local event is attracting U.S. com petition and is helping to pul Orono on the map.
