With hundreds of categories for participants, the Port Perry Fair -- one of the largest . and most successful of the Class B Ontario Fairs -- is dedicated to participation. And you still have ten days left to enter. S o, if you've got a horse that pulls or some flashy Anglers still have time for fish contest The postal strike has had a' staggering effect on the number of entries received by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters for the "Molson" Big Fish Contest. Entries are down 65 percent over the previous year. No entries have been received in the two salmon categories and only one entry in the Musky category. Entries in all categories are low. Those anglers who completed their entry forms during the postal strike should now mail them to the O0.F.A.H., P.O. Box 28, Peterborough, K9J 6Y5. The contest, now in its 23rd year, boasts a prize list valued at approximately $35,000. In addition to the cash prizes of $500 awarded in each of the ten categories, the top entrant in each category will receive a 4% h.p. Evinrude outboard motor. Any first place fis which breaks an existj contest record will captor a 55 h.p. Evinrude instead of the 4%. h.p. All entries over the mini- mum standards earn beauti- ful prints of a leaping speckled trout, painted by renowned Canadian wildlife artist, Michael Dumas. Entry forms for the "Molson" Big Fish Contest are available at most tackle shops, lodges, and taxider- mists, or direct from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, P.O.
