A message from Skeena Valley Fair Association president Mel Rundell to all exhibitors and visitors.

Once again, it’s Fair time.

As the 23rd annual Skeena Valley Fall Fair approaches, | look back ‘at planning this

.year's event, and wonder how so few did so much.

| am sure that you all have heard the pleas from other community groups for active members.

We have the same problem.

Although we did have a few new members come to our meetings, there is still the small group of regular members who do what seems to be the impossible. .

As this will be my last year as president of the Skeena Valley Fair Association, | would like to publicly thank. my fellow Association members:

Bill and Bev Boutilier for their 23 years of

service; Janny Wassink, Ada Gillard, Leo DeJong, Brian Lihdenbach,’ Karen Farrell, “my -wife Carmen ‘and - especially -my daughter Donella for putting up with the long hours at the fair and being orphaned for two days. | :

| ask that if you can spare any time over the next year to assist us in presenting another quality fair. PLEASE be. sure to talk to one of our tmembers and come to our

meetin 6 | hope ngis IS OP 092,211 ati 1 Thank: you “all for your ‘support. .
