Dear Editor:
Well another Fergus Fall Fair has come and gone. From my personal standpoint, it was an overwhelming success.
As a member of the Fergus Lions, doing parking duties all three days, we saw an abundance of visitors paying for parking. The lot was full all three days, and if there was not a space for you,well, we created one.
It was not just the Lions Club doing the parking control; many local groups provided volunteers, and my favourites were the University of Guelph girls who helped out, as well as the wonderful young ladies from Centre Wellington District High School, who toiled in the daytime heat to ensure visitors could find a parking spot. Kudos to you, my young friends, you really are showing your community spirit.
Taylor, as the fall fair contact person, you and your staff did one hell of an amazing job pulling this event together. So all of you should stand up and take a bow – you and your team really “nailed it.”
It was a tribute to our community and a tribute to all the local farming community. The tractor and truck pulls, equine and heavy horse events, as always, were well attended and crowd pleasing.
All in all, our community and our fall fair shone! Thanks to all who participated – it was a hoot. Let’s do it again next year.
J. Brian Martin,
Fergus Lions Club
