Boni and raised in Brooklin, Grandy says he knows the -cornrunity very well and looks forward ta helping the fair board every year in any way possible. He is quick to give local residents big credit for the annual success of the fair. "Ail volunteers for the fair work hard with great enthusiasm to make it a success," he says. Grandy says volunteers are always needed to help set up and paint tables and fenees required for the fair. Tractors from Hub International Equiprnent Ltd. and Don Vallance Equipment Ltd. are donated to get the racetrack ready, he says. Every little bit of help counts and there is neyer enough help to go around, he says. "If the community was more aware that we need al the help we can get, we would probably get even more people to corne and pinch in." Grandy says committee mernbers are also to be commended for their efforts that begin in September of each year for the following year's fair. He says he hopes the weather will co-operate during the fair weekend but believes there will be a good turnout even if it does rain. "The fair is always popular and people corne to have a great Urne and meet other people." .nu., e>V 4 ~ . ... ... .............
