20 By F. J. Picking The exhibits were fine - the at- tendance was big - the sale of plants was the best ever. But to this observer, attending his first Richmond Hill Horticutural Soc- iety event for some years, some- thing else altogether was the big- gest feature of the Society's Spring Fair, held in Wrixon Hall last Saturday. That “something” was the welding of the old and th new - a mighty important fac- tor in a town which in recent years has been rightly termed "Canada’s fastest-growing town.” OId,New,lnHappyBIend As Spring Fair Is Held Wrixon Hall Packed The "old" was evidenced by the number of residents who have carried on the effective work of the Society for many years, and who were present at the Spring Fair either as helpers or visitors. Also emphasizing the past was the large number of interesting antiques which had been assem- bled, plus the costuming of lady attendants in the “bustles and bows" of yesteryear. The “New” Welcomed The "new" found its express- ion in the large number of new - and very welcome - residents of the Hill who were present as vis- itors and helpers also. Many of them had only made their home on the hilltop within the last' £in or six years. And, of course, as new and young as springtime itself were the flowers and the plants which were the central motif of the Fair. / 7 How will we balance stock?

Old Town Was fringing __ ' Vlu .vnn ' _7_,, The theme of “Old Richmond Hill” was carried out in great detail throughout all Spring Fair features. Cloaks and dresses and bonnets - and what bonnets - of grandmother’s day adorned the belles of 1961 who did a crack- erjack job of looking after booths and similar activities. (Of course, a mere male who might make comparisons of those hats with some of today's feminine ‘lids' had better keep quiet on a somewhat dangerous topic. A retort which might involve Doug.

Commanding a big share of attention was a dis- play of cards and photographs depicting the Hill in earlier days. The display was loaned by Town Clerk “Curly” Lynett. Dancers Well Received. Another popular feature was the folk dancing staged by the Village Folk Dancers of Jefferson, with Carson Whalen in charge. Experts were on hand to give advice to home gardeners, with many plants being available for purchase. A puppet show. design- ed to attract the youngsters, found their seniors equally cap- tivated by a present tion of “Jack and the Beanstalk” and the puppet orchestra. Garden slides were another attractive feature of the Fair. The Naturalists Corner was much admired with its display of a woodland bank. And not the least popular spot was the “Bus- tic Inn" tearoom which supple- mented the snack bar in the main hall, which also did big business: The attendance, members of the Society said, was one of the largest. The event, usually staged in the Lions Hall, found a keen welcome at Wrixon Hall but all concerned admitted - and quite happily - that the place was jammed. President Says Welcome Visitors were welcomed to the show by Dr. Hugh MacKay, society president, and Reg. Wil- liams was director of the success- ful and well-organized event.
