awards at valley fair

Ihe sun shone once again for the
10th annual Slocan Park Fall Fair in
late August

In the pet show, Robin Cayo won
for having the most enthusiastic dog,
Sarita Burgoon for her mathematical
horse, Aron Burgoon for the cat with
the bluest eyes and Rianna Burgoon
for having the most relaxed rabbit

The slowpitch tournament was won
by-the-Nobody’s with second_place
going to the Dustbusters.

The pancake breakfast was put on
by the Passmore Firehall Auxiliary

The parade was led by Slocan Wally
and this year’s winners of the citizen of
the year, Glenn and Pearl Harper. This
year’s parade included a lot of par-
ticipation from many new people from
all up and down the valley

“This was very gratifying as we want
more people to feel this is not just’a
local affair but for the whole area,”
parade organizers said

During the fair, there were exhibits,
horseshoes, bingo, kids’ games,
loggers’ events, Russian food and the
toe-tapping music of the Western
Swingers.

Winners of the loggers’ events were
Rod Gatenby and Phil Verigin (men’s
crosscut), Gordon and Susan (mixed
crosscut), Chris, Guest and Dennis
Schock (student crosscut), Walter
Demoskoff (men’s nail driving), Olga
Swetlishoff (ladies’ nail driving) and
Chris Guest (students’ nail driving)

There was also an additional event
this year called gold panning. Tammy

Sherbinin of Castlegar was the lucky
recipient of one gold nugget

The children’s games again proved
interesting and much fun. To keep the
kids occupied there was the Haunted
House which proved a main attraction
for both kids and grownups. The
house was created by several local
teenagers led by Steven Ball

Mabel Koorbatoff was again the
Grand Aggregate Cup winner. The
Dairy and Field Cup went to Natalie
Osachoff, baking and canning, and
