Wallacetown Fair 'Under the Big Top' and Sunny Skies

10/2/2012

 
Picture
It was ‘under sunny skies’ and ‘Under the Big Top’ as crowds were drawn to this year’s Wallacetown Fair with a circus theme and starring clowns in the Saturday parade. Attendees came for old favourites (demolition derby, tractor pull, midway and displays focusing on agricultural heritage) and new (Chariot and Chuck Wagon Races).

There was lots to see in each of the fair buildings and brand new quilt blocks were created this year to add a dash of inviting colour over the entrances. The fair ran Friday September 28th to Sunday September 30th.

Leta West shared information about Pearce Williams Christian Centre "Called to Grow" capital campaign. The facility has held Christian Children's Summer Camp for over 50 years, but has also become a community organization that serves the needs of a diverse range of clients, campers and school groups. Future plans will allow service to the community to be greatly enhanced through new programs and facilities. Find out more at http://www.pearcewilliams.org/.
