Veteran demolition derby racer Scott Rancourt, next to wife Chantal, will smash ’em up at the Arnprior this weekend with a relatively new sponsor. This is year two for Alex Parker and other lawyers at Tierney Stauffer to show their support for Rancourt and the derby. Driving a 1985 Chev Impala for his 30th year in the business, Rancourt said everyone will enjoy the Saturday, Aug. 11 competition at 5 p.m. at the Arnprior Fair. “It’s good family fun to see cars crashing, in my opinion,” he said. Below, workers set up the rides Tuesday evening at the fairgrounds.
Community invited to join effort to help farmers Continued from front
Other Sunday attractions at the fair include the free breakfast, the Strongman competition and discounted Midway rides. Arnprior Agricultural Society members have expressed delight in the expressions of support after the announcement to donate to farmers was made July 25.
In its statement, the society said it is “conscious of the effect the farmers’ plight will have on the families of our communities and want to assist in this trying time.” The society also asked its fair partners to consider adding to the contribution by increasing donations or lowering charges for contracted services. “While we also understand the effect
the economy is having on all businesses, we are also asking that you take a look at the long-term effect the drought and farmers’ plight will have on us all; not just business, but your home and family,” said an appeal authored by society treasurer Cathie Tennisco. “All contributions are appreciated.” For more details on the fair, visit www.arnpriorfair.ca.
