Everybody and their dog had a great time at the Milford Fair

A grand parade to the fairgrounds ushered in the 2012 Milford Fair which overflowed with the community’s finest in baked goods and preserves, flowers, photographs, pets, crafts, fun and games, food and entertainment. The Prince Edward County Libraries were this year’s fair highlight. Volunteers, staff and patrons showed their love of libraries in the parade and on the grounds.
Fair board president Valencia Logan thanked all the volunteers who work year round to make the fair a success. Councillor Barb Proctor welcomed everybody and made special note of welcoming Floral Minaker who celebrated her 100th birthday and was “here representing the roots of South Marysburgh.”
