Photo archives
This photo taken at last year’s Russell Agricultural Fair shows one of the multitude of interesting exhibits which are available free once general admission is paid at the gates.
The Barber SHOP 1133 Concession, Russell ON 613 445-1464 Some events and exhibits, such as horse competitions and antique equipment, are spread out, so a six-person golf cart will be available to drive seniors around the grounds, picking up and dropping off as needed. John- ston stresses how important this small service is. “Some seniors might not be able to get around to everything at the fair otherwise.” Sunday also features free breakfast avail- able to everyone who comes to the fair be- fore 10:30 a.m. Last year, about 500 seniors attended the arena event. activities at the Russell Fair and expects the 55+ crowd will find it better than ever. Seniors Day is Sunday, September 9, with special entertainment for that demographic group, plus all the usual fair fun. Entertain- ment will take place inside the arena on the slab, and features the Russell Male Choir sing- ing plenty of familiar songs; Ginette Hamilton and Sentimental Journey, with mellow war- time and fifties tunes; and the Matt Hayes band, a popular country band. The Jennifer Armstrong stepdancers will also entertain. “They have lots of kids,” says Johnston, “and us older folks always like that.” At the arena, there will also be free refresh- ments donated by Foodland, and thousands of dollars worth of doorprizes drawn, all only available to seniors.
