Skeena Valley

Something for everyone

The Skeena Valley Fall Fair
committee can relax in the
knowledge of a job well done
and a successful three-day week-
end, September 1 to 3.

The weather cooperated and
crowds turned out for the last
holiday of the summer season.
The slight nip in the air, the oc-
casional threatening clouds,
brought the realization that fall
was approaching and the boun-
tiful harvest displayed in the
Thornhill Community Hall was
testimony.

There was something for
everyone, and the crowds spread
across the well-maintained
grounds. Sawdust spread thickly
throughout the grounds kept the
dust to a minimum. Ample
parking, well-marked, was quick
and efficient. Steady line-ups
kept the concessions busy all

day, and the many stands placed

around the grounds meant that
you did not have to go far from

your event to replenish your ap-
petite. Well-spaced portables ac-
commodated children and
others easily and quickly. The
booths were filled with in-
teresting products, the clowns
were everywhere. And. no
hawkers.

The events overlapped and
meshed. Saturday’s — special
drawing cards were the tradi-
tional exhibits in the Communi-
ty Hall and the parade of
animals and pets at the 4-H com-
pound.

Sunday’s special events added
the attraction of a reviving Log-
gers’ Sports, the Horse Show
and the Stone Boat race. Adding
spice to this day were the auc-
tions of prize-winning provi-
sions and livestock.

The Horse Shows were a con-
tinuing attraction throughout
the Fair, culminating Monday
with daylong events.
