Good weather and good times at the Russell Fair GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
The annual agricultural fair marks its 155 th anniversary this year. Sheldrick noted that kind of longevity is only possible with strong support from sponsors and from vol- unteers. “We have a good group of volunteers who work well together.” He also credits efforts by the society, with support from local sponsors and others, in providing a wide variety of events and ac- tivities, from traditional farm show displays to live music and special displays, for pa- trons to enjoy during the fair. “You gotta keep things new for people,” Sheldrick said.“We like to keep things fresh.”
RUSSELL | Gord Sheldrick has just one word to describe this year’s Russell Fair. “Excellent,” he said, while taking a break Monday during the post-fair cleanup. “We certainly got the good weather.” Volunteers with the Russell Agricultural Society are still tallying up the gate num- bers but Sheldrick noted attendance was good all throughout the days the fair was open.
