Media representatives were shuffled from helicop- ter to various training sites to get a rough idea of what the 1,000 troops of the 27th Brigade cover in 15 days. As the \roundout\ for the 1 Oth Mountain Division, the brigade has three infantry battalions, its own brigade headquarters, a field artillery battalion, FAST 3 (medical support), Tactical Operations Center, Brigade Support Area. We were able to visit most of these. But Just as we tried to learn as much as possible in our short visit, the brigade itself, in its own whirlwind tour, tries each year to cram into 15 days what the 1 st and 2nd Brigades of the 10th Mountain Division cover in roughly 200 day si Although they may not put in the same amount of hours as a fulltime Army soldier, according to Lt. PC. Kutschera, New York Army National Guard director of public affairs, the National Guard units See Civilians Pg. 3 Fair Goers Set Record By Lisa L. Reape \Even better than last year.\\ was how Merton VanSant. president of the Cxouverneur-St Lawrence County Fair, described attendance at this year s fair. The number of paying fairgoers has been recorded at 21.700 for the week That figure does not take into account the number of exhibitors, nor those entering the fair with guest passes, which fair organizers must also record . The slowest day of the fair, as expected, was Sunday, when 1,161 people paid their entrancefees Sunday is a slow day for the fair because not all of the rides are up and running Monday s paid attendance was 1.395 Although improved from Sunday's attendance. Mr. VanSant the cool temperatures Monday night prompted the public to wait for warmer temperatures Tuesday saw the paid attendance figure jump to 3,336, according to Mr VanSant, whenthendes and pleasant weather lured the public to the fairgrounds The busiest day of all for the week was Friday, when 5,490 people paid admission fees Tnday was Wrist Band Day, and that always brings out a lot of people,\ Mr VanSant said.
