Fair attendance at Russell fair prompts board review
Attendance dipped at the Russell Agricultural Society Fair with 1 096 on Saturday and 37 on Sunday. President Doug MacIsaac says changes to hold the event on Saturday and Sunday were intended to boost crowds, while Myra Kilkenny notes merchants and a beer garden were weaker than hoped. The pancake breakfast drew about 250 attendees and the parade was a success.
