year after year By PAUL MCGEE and MICHAEL LLOYD Equity Staff SHAWVILLE \u2014 It\u2019s great.It\u2019s the best fair around.Just ask the visitors.\u201cIt\u2019s the best,\u201d says Darin McCullough, of Barry\u2019s Bay, adding he tries to attend the fair every year.\u201cWe\u2019ve been to other fairs, but this one has them beat.\u201d McCullough\u2019s statement is echoed by the words of Brockville\u2019s Dave Sweet.\u201cYou can\u2019t beat it,\u201d Sweet says.\u201cIt\u2019s the best fair around.\u201d The 147th edition of the Shawville Fair broke attendance records set last year.Breaking records has become a tradition in the past few years with attendance jumping to 55,000-plus this year from 34,000 in 1999, a whopping 61 per cent increase in four short years.Each day at this year\u2019s fair, from Thursday\u2019s opening to Monday\u2019s close, had a record number of visitors.\u201cI thought that after last year (the first time attendance topped 50,000) we would never see such a large crowd,\u201d says Mavis Hanna, president of the Pontiac Agricultural Society.\u201cI can\u2019t believe so many people found their way to Shawville.\u201d Hanna says the fair board will take into account the rapid rise in attendance when making plans for next year.\u201cWe never plan to go backwards,\u201d she says, adding weather is a key to drawing the large crowds.\u201cWe ll prepare for a larger crowd and make sure we have enough resources for larger crowd.\u201d A fair that focuses on family, fun and farming with a solid midway, high-calibre entertainment and a smorgasbord of food products is a big part of the package, but it\u2019s the people behind the scenes that make it happen.\u201cThere are about 500 community volunteers that support every event, from the cattle shows to the beer tent,\u201d says Hanna, adding the fair's success hinges on the tremendous efforts of the dedicated volunteers.Another remarkable aspect of the fair is the relative lack of problems such as fighting or other violent acts.The fairgrounds were patrolled by members of the Pontiac MRC Sûreté du Québec and a team of orange T-shirt-wearing security personnel.\u201cThere were so few minor incidents, they are not even worth mentioning.\u201d she says.\u201cWhen you have this many people and only minor incidents .\u2019* With so many out-of-towners trekking to Shawville for the annual fair, the fair board thought it would promote the entire county this year, and selected Pontiac MRC as its theme with the hopes of attracting the fairgoers for a return visit for another event someplace else in Pontiac.\u201c1 really hope that it has (made people aware of Pontiac),\u201d she says.\u201cOnly time will tell.We gave them the opportunity to discover Pontiac.What they do is up to them.\u201d Opening night From the official opening on Thursday to the last performer on Monday, the Pontiac MRC-themed Shawville Fair was a success for the

Proposed Pontiac MRC building not carved in stone By PAUL MCGEE Equity Editor If Pontiac MRC gets a new building, it won't be without the protests of many Pontiacers who kept the phone lines busy last week objecting to the proposed new building currently being explored by the MRC.The story stated that the mayors voted 14-4 (the MRC's official count is 13-4) in favour of advancing the file on a new building, including searching for funds to finance the project.\u201cI\u2019ve never received so many calls since I\u2019ve been in politics as I did last week,\u201d says Terry Richard, mayor of Leslie, Clapham and Huddersfield, who says he voted in favour of advancing the file to try to find money for a new building.\u201cIf we don\u2019t get any grant money, then I'm not in favour of using our tax dollars for a new building.\u201d MRC director-general Luc Seguin says moving the file forward is necessary to find grant money.Grants needed \u201cThe objective is to have preliminary drawings done so we can go looking for money,\u201d he says.As well, the MRC building would be considered multi-usage to open up more doors to grant money.\u201cWe need the preliminapy draw ings and a location so we can go to Quebec City to look for money, \" says Warden Michael McCrank.\u201cIf we\u2019re not armed with a plan and drawings, they won't even acknowl- edge us,\u201d McCrank says.And,

sits w ithin 500 metres of the road and swamp, contravening Ministry regulations.They've come to visit us a couple of times.\" Richard says, adding the Ministry has not ordered the dump closed nor placed a definite date for its closure.Richard says it doesn\u2019t help their situation when people disregard the rules for dumping.\u201cThe dump is being abused by a lot of people,\" he says.\u201cThey leave stuff at the gates and are just making it worse for us.\u201d Two Terry Fox Run fundraisers PONTIAC The report should be in this week, Piché says.\u201cWhen the report is finalized, there will be so much time to do the work,\" he says.\u201cIf and w hen they get a new building.there is still work to be done on this building.\u201d A new building is being considered because of the condition of the existing building, built in the 1960s, and its shrinking size as the government downloads more responsibilities and files to the MRC.A quality check was conducted on the building last week by a Montreal company which will forward the results to the CSST MRC employee and union representative Claude Piché says air, water and wall samples were taken to be tested.\u201cThey will check for anything concerning health, ' Piché says.\u201cThey A Terry Fox barbecue fundraiser will be held Friday at the John Valu-mart in Shawville.The barbecue starts at noon
