The 91st Fair continues for three more days, closing at 11 p.m., Sunday. Special events slated for the next three days: Friday morning, 4-H horse and sheep shows will be judged and a draft horse show will begin at the pulling arena. Beef cattle judging will begin at 1 p.m. while the 4-H parade of champions will pass by the grandstand at 1:30. Saturday, the Western horse show will get underway at 10 a.m. at the show ring. A sheep-to-shawl contest will begin at the same time in the sheep barn. At 1 p.m., goat cheese will be judged at the sheep barn and first heats of the pony pulling contest will begin at the infield arena. Pony pulling will resume at 5 p.m. The fair's fireworks display will begin at 9:30 p.m., shortly after dusk. For the first time ever, the Altamont Fair will not conclude with fireworks; fair officials decided to continue the event at the traditional Saturday night time slot while adding Sunday to the schedule. Sunday, the state sheep dog trials will begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by a church service/gos- pel sing at 11 a.m. at the grandstand. The Reithoffer Shows midway will open at noon, an hour later than usual. All regular daily attractions such as the Royal Hanneford Circtis, the clown and magic show, country music at the new Entertainment Center, and Paul LaCrosse marksmanship show will continue through Sun- day. Listed below are winners of contests held at the Fair earlier this week. BICYCLE WINNERS Lucky ticket holders this year were Billy Dimmer of R.D. 2, An Apology To Fair Neighbors By REIDF. NORTHRUP Manager, Altamont Fair The management of the Alta- mont Fair apologizes for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the operation of a very noisy power generator on the carnival early this week. We especially sympathize with our neighbors who live on Fairview Ave. and vicinity. The problem was caused by the breakdown of two large generators the week before, necessitating the use of a\n old-style generator not ordinarily used by the Reithoffer Shows, but still commonly used by most every other carnival in the country. By Wednesday morning, after working all Tuesday night, the noisy unit had been replaced by a new soundproofed power plant. The Reithoffer family has asked me to offer their apologies also and assure the people of the commun- ity that every effort will be made to avoid this problem in the future.
