Emo Fair a Success


This year's Rainy River Valley Agricultural Fall Fair is being hailed a success.

Exact attendance figures are still being counted, but the Society's president Emily Watson says good weather helped bring people out.

"When we were speaking with the owners of the midway, Jim and Michelle Mills, they told us that in their memory this has been the best fair in the Rainy River district in many, many years," says Watson. "So in my eyes it has been very successful."

Watson says they nearly faced a catastrophe when a sewer back-up threaten to shutdown the washrooms the night before the fair opened.

Watson says a quick response from Harold McQuaker Enterprises allowed the fair to go uninterrupted.
