TOWN SET FOR COUNTY FAIR ARTS FESTIVAL OVER LABOR DAY HOLIDAY
East
Farewell- East Farewell was preparing to host the
County Fair over the Labor Day weekend. The fair has name has been amended this year to County Fair/ Arts
Festival. “The Town Council felt that
with the substantial number of artists and craftsmen in the region it would be
appropriate to give them some venue to show off their creations. “It will always be a County Fair to me,” said
Bernie
Wilson, a longtime resident, “You can call it whatever you want but as long
as there is a midway with the games and shop displays you have yourself a
country fair.”
The highlights of this year’s fair
are several live shows by local groups and many exhibitions by local artists
and musicians. The festival is set to begin Friday with a
concert by the High School band and run right through the holiday, ending with
fireworks display on Monday night. A
schedule of events has been placed in every store window on Main Street. A “Special Schedule Edition” of this
newspaper will be published Friday and available for free around town.
A notable change in the schedule is
the time of this year’s livestock auction. In past the auction was a main event for the fair, but the area farms
have been become a less and less integral art of the community as the town has
moved to a more industrial base with the opening of the Iron Works and the ever
increasing tourist trade. “We felt that
the livestock auction was just as big a draw as it was in the past and while we
didn’t eliminate it completely, we moved it to early Saturday morning,” said
Tom Connally, town council president.

CORNING CRUSHES
TRAVELERS
Corning – The overpowering fastball, curve combination of Bill “Smoke” Black befuddled and belittled Travelers batters on Saturday. CGW cruised to a 5-1 victory in what was billed as battle for first place. The Traveler’s Danny Lane was not particularly sharp and the Corning nine jumped on him early. They scored two runs in the second and sealed the deal with a three-run blast from their slugger, Dave “Delivery” Mailer. The Travelers were only able get on the board in the seventh with a rare lapse in Black’s control as he let Johnny Cloos hit a deep double, Anthony Dimero bunt for a sacrifice, moving Cloos to third and Joey Brown hit a long sacrifice fly to right, scoring Cloos.
The
loss puts the Travelers back behind CGW in the standings by one game. There are
three games left in the season and they will be difficult games. There is a
double header next week against the Erie Eagles with their big slugger, Frank
Hayes, and the final game against arch-rivals, the Slate Mountain Miners. Even
if the Travelers win all the games CGW will have to lose at least two for the
Travelers to win the pennant. CGW has a much less challenging schedule for the
games.
The
Travelers will head to Erie next week to play double header against the Eagles.
This double header was scheduled due to a rainout earlier in the season. The
first game begins at 1:05 in Erie Stadium.

Bachelor Bob Stacksays, “It’s easy to stay a bachelor in Hollywood or anywhere else if you’re determined to stay single ‘just a little longer.’ That can stretch into quite a while. It’s true Hollywood is chock full of glamorous girls, but who says that’s enough for a happy marriage?”
Bob Wagner, also a Hollywood bachelor says, “There are quite a few bachelors here, so it’s not so easy to get a date with these glamour girls since lots of guys have more to offer than I have.”
