The days were sunny. It drizzled. It rained. It was breezy. it was windy - very windy at times. On Saturday, gusts tore the side of the big tent at the Early Textile Exhibit and then flipped it over. It had been jumping around before then, and the occupants had already packed their gear and were out of the way. Willis Shattuck arrived and attached heavy duty straps to his big tent for extra strength. They worked. Several exhibitors had to roll up their awnings and fold up tents to avoid losing them. And yet the Exhibition went on to be a grand event, providing great exhibits and proving to be a financial success. The Lane sawmill was back in operation in its new home. The new Shoe Repair Shop opened for the first time. The Collection Exhibit Building revealed its much enhanced exhibits. The Century Flyer was back in service. The Farm House held wash house surprises. And it seemed that visitors lingered longer than before at the inside exhibits and in the Pavilion Building, perhaps avoiding the gusty winds. We were pleased to see that TAUNY, the Sustainable Living Project, Heifer International, the DeKalb Historical Society, the St. Lawrence County Maple Sugar Producers Assn., and other associate members had exhibits.
