to 3 p.m. Parents will then be able to check out the many vendors, booths and displays in the arena without having to worry about their children. Canlan Ice Sports is bringing in four bouncy castle toys for children up to age 12 to play on in Lumberman’s Park ball field next to the arena. Dog agility and archery demos will take place in the Stan
Halcro Arena during the fair. A display booth manned by South Cariboo AgriCultural Enterprise Centre CEEDS members will be answering questions and handing out information outside the curling rink exhibit entrance all weekend. They want to raise awareness of local sustainable living and organic produce in the South Cariboo.
Exhibit registration are rolling along Many exhibit registrations have already come in online for the 2012 South Cariboo Community Fall Fair, Sept. 7-9. M-J Cousins says the plans for the competition exhibits are in the final stages. “The fair is a time to showcase the many talents in our community, including cooking, baking, gardening, arts and crafts and so much more.” Adults and children alike can enter some 400 different categories. Cousins encourages everyone to enter the people’s choice categories for the best scarecrow, bestdressed zucchini and the best Cariboo outdoor plant container. She urges people to register their entries online rather than stand in long lineups on registration day (Sept. 4). Entry registrations will
close at 8 p.m. Do not bring your entry pieces in at registration time, she adds. Entries can be dropped off Sept. 6 from 4 to 8 p.m., and the final intake of entries will be accepted Sept. 7 from 8 to 11 a.m. at the exhibit hall in the curling rink. Fees per entry are $1 for adults and children 16 years and under are 50 cents. These fees are to be paid when items are dropped off. The committee will not be accepting any late entries. Complete rules, guidelines and entry forms can be found in the Fall Fair guide, which can be found at numerous locations around town and online at www.100milefallfair. com. Contact Cousins at 250-791-1950for more information and to volunteer.
