The
Fair Committee
The Fair Committee consists of a constantly rotating, diverse blend of people. This is the group planning our event for 2008.
This is yet another community group that
silently exists within your town. The day after the fair ends
they start with the initial groundwork for the next one. . . that's
how long it takes to plan this enormous event.

And. . . behind the scenes there are many,
many others who diligently assist with this event!
Some are on the phone constantly, in order
to line up the hundreds of volunteers whose help is vital at the
Fair each year.
Others are fielding calls for the slo-pitch
tournament.
Yet another, is constantly updating the
website with the non-stop incoming data.
Many are preparing food stuffs for the
Friday night street party.
Somebody offers to pick up the generator.
Another provides transportation for the
acrobats.
One business supplies us with a temporary
'Command Centre'.
A church gives us their keys so we may
access their facility for the entertainers' change rooms.
A few are gathering willing hands to help
clean the meessy street late at night after the party is over.
Countless ladies prepare and donate gallons
of delicious borscht.
Some quite simply think of fantastic ideas
to entertain you (acrobats, Brent Butt, children's entertainment,
etc.)
Others put these ideas to paper so you
can find out what's up.
Some go door to door, or even town to town,
promoting our event.
While yet anoter uses her valuable time
between family, job, school (endless exams. . . and life) to seek
out financial support without which this event would be dead in
the water.
There are some who take the day off work
on Fair Friday to help with the massive job of getting the street
ready.
The town employees take on extra tasks
to ensure Main Street looks its best.
There are big jobs and little jobs involved
with this huge undertaking, and there's a huge amount of community
support to meet the challange!
Thanks to you all!
We appreciate that everyone in the community
tolerates minor inconveniences associated with our event. For
example, individuals' patience with the street closure and the
interruption of customer traffic that our corporate sponsors experience.
We hope our efforts pay dividens for the other 363 days of the
year, and continue to make this community a better place to live!
