This is just a little off the record information to tell you that over the next few weeks, your Community Association Board may have some good news items to share with everyone.
This would probably come under the heading of PROGRESS. Absolutely no guarantees but things do appear to be favorable right now.
Stay tuned to this website as it will be up to date and new posters around town.
The Gleichen Fall Fair and Parade was held on Sat. Aug. 22nd and came off as a roaring success.
The Parade was fantastic with the Mounties in their Red Serge leading. Then came the Piper and the Drummer. From there the entries were strung out for quite a way, with dignitaries in the convertibles, a number of floats from the surrounding area, horse and riders, kids with their wheels and the entries for the bed tournament, there was a few older vehicles from the show & shine and finally quite a number of Fire Dept equipment from the surrounding communities.
The Show & Shine had a full field of entries. Maybe even more than they thought they would get. Sure was a lot of gleaming paint and chrome. The entries varied from quite old, fully restored, to somewhat newer but completely restored in cars, trucks and farm tractors.
The Fair itself had good crowds and were quite busy throughout the day.
All in all it was a very successful event and people are already asking what we are going to do for next year. BIGGER AND BETTER!
With just over two weeks left until the fair everyone should be busy getting their photos organized, their baking in the deep-freeze and all their other projects finished up. The hail probably didn’t do the gardens any good but we can still hope for good items in that department. Fair entries are accepted on Thursday August 20, from 5:00pm to 8:00 pm. Although the bench show is a major part of the fair, there are plenty of other activities related. The Show and Shine, the Chili cook off, and the Rodeo add up to a fun filled week-end. Start making plans for August 21 and 22.
The CIB group has been busy and wish to keep everyone updated on their progress. The annual clean-up was a great success. There was an enthusiastic turn out and the town is looking great. Special thanks to the Fire Department and the Gleichen Kids club who were very helpful for the day. The native grass was planted at the buffalo, so soon he will be standing on prairiewool as in the olden days. Pot planting is coming up. If you wish to help out talk to Fran Millar or Doris Lindeman to sign up. Spring is such a nice time of the year. Everyone’s yards look so nice. Keep up the good work, Gleichen.
