The following will give you a general idea of some of the things you may expect: A clown contest on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. to start off for children up to 12 years with cash prizes. Free contests for the children include a colouring contest up to 12 years on Saturday in the "Home Craft" building. Watch for the sign on the building. The children will also enjoy the Petting Zoo with a variety of animals. Other entertainment will include a Fiddler's Contest, a Tractor Pull and the "Golden Helment" display on Monday at 11:30 a.m. Of course we could not have a Fair without exhibits of all kinds. So ladies & others, you have barely 2° weeks left to plan yours if you have not already done so.
