6 • Salmon Arm Fall Fair • Friday, August 30 & Wednesday, September 4, 2013
Fair has entertainment for everyone One of the most popular features of the Salmon Arm Fair is the entertainment provided on two stages. On the main stage near the food court, fairgoers can enjoy performances by local artists and contestants in the annual Shuswap Idol program that introduces new talent to two fair stages and community. Or amble over to Memory Lane for a look back in time and another slate of excellent artists. Longtime co-ordinator and producer Gil Risling says inviting local artists is a personal mandate. “It’s a Salmon Arm fair and it gives local talent another opportunity to come onto a stage with professional sound,” he says. “Why would we go somewhere else when we have such great talent here?” Risling says the fair is where he found two of the musicians featured in the Risling’s extremely popular Louisiana Hayride musicians – bass player Mike Melnichuk and keyboardist William Brookfield. Brookfield helped Risling with the sound at the fair for about four years before mentioning he played something other than a ukelele. “The fourth year, he said, ‘do you mind if I bring my keyboard?’” laughs Risling. “After I heard him. I said ‘William, why didn’t you tell me?’” In a reverse incident, Adam Fitzpatrick, who just took second place in the world Elvis Tribute competition in Memphis, joined the hayride and then accepted an invitation to perform at the fair – something he
says he is happy to be doing again this year.
& AUTO WRECKING LTD.
Risling says he got his experience with managing shows by volunteering with the Roots and Blues Festival for several years. “I put my Roots and Blues volunteering to good use,” he says. “It’s interesting that I got my training at another successful Salmon Arm event.” The main stage will be the scene of live entertainment from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6 and Saturday, Sept. 7 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8. The grand opening of the fair will be celebrated at the stage beginning at 6 p.m., with a special cake-cutting in honour of the Salmon Arm Fire Department, which is celebrating 100 years of service to the community. Entertainment will be the order of the fair at Memory Lane too. A variety of artists will perform from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

Support the food bank
The Girl Guides are looking for food. And Salmon Arm Fall Fair officials are asking members of the community help the guides gather non-perishable food items for the Salvation Army Food Bank at the parade that moves out at 10:45 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 7. All nonperishable food items will be appreciated; however, as always, there is a need for proteins’. If you happen to forget your food item, spectators are also welcome to help give back by making a cash donation. And if that doesn’t work, take some food to the fair where the food bank will be collecting items throughout the weekend.
Enjoy The Fall Fair Fall Sign Up week

Salmon Arm Fair organizers are hoping visitors will “dig the diversity” when the annual event rolls out Sept. 6 through 8. “Where can you find excellent entertainment, numerous displays of high quality food, animals and crafts, a large variety of delicious treats to eat, a lively midway, and a great destination for all generations to meet and greet friends and family?” they ask. “Well, the Salmon Arm Fair, of course.” New this year is the highly popular West Coast Lumberjack Show. This entertaining blend of skills, heroics, history and humour is sure to please young and old. Last year Elvis tribute artist Adam Fitzpatrick attracted large, enthusiastic crowds for all his shows.
