If you are a horse lover,

you'll know trailering one any’

this year Lisa Ziegler took’ her,
horse, Gonza, to Thunder Bay -- -
a six day trip! ws

Although there vere no! i

serious mishaps, she says the
police stopped her in: Alberta”
after shé had taken a wrong.

‘turn and asked her to produce a

stock manifest (a permit to:
transport livestock).-In-the end, -

Lisa said-the police took her. :

word for it she was not a horse
rustler.

“After five months in Thunder
Bay, Lisa returned just in.time .

Speaking of the. Fall
in 1970, Mrs.
Boutilier and a few’ other ladies
decided to put ona small flower

_ and plant show. The result was

the first Fall Fair, organized ‘in

collaboration with the Farmers _

and Women’s Institutes, -
For the first three years the
event.took place in local schools
and featured horticultural and_
home crafts classes only...
In 1973, the fair moved to the
old curling rink and this time in-

‘cluded a display of - small

livestock, Next-camé the addi-
tion of livestock classes and
horse show...and the greased
pig contest.

The contest was for the
children and their quarry was an
eight to 10 week old pig, duly
greased. Unfortunately, when
released the little porker simply
hightailed it into the bushes,
Search parties were sent out to
recover it but returned empty-
handed, in fact, the pig never
was found and that, perhaps
not surprisingly, was the end of
the greased pig contest.

The growing fair moved to
two days in 1977 but things real-
ly took off in 1984 with the for-
mation. of the Skeena District
4-H council which in turn

roup offers welcome break

- Among those back in town
for this year’s reunion of the
Class of '65 was Rose Sharples

who taught some of the.

Students. Rose began teaching
at the then Skeena High school
when she and and husband Jack
came here from Quesnel in
1956.

She taught a special, pre-
occupational class and it was
through: placing one of her
Students in a local ladies
clothing store — the McGraths’

Kee Vee Shop — that got Rose

interested in that business.

She bought the store in 1967,
renamed it Rose’s and ran it un-
til 1972 when she sold out and
the couple moved to Penticton,
where they still reside (sons
Cliff and Gerry have remained
here).

New owner of Rose’s was
Marie’ McAlpine (Harrison)
who had moved here from
Burns Lake in 1949 with the
government’s telegraph service.

Both Rose and Marie describe
the years running the store as
