The 150th Tiverton Fall Fair started out a bit damp on Friday but by Saturday the sun came out and the weather was just great.

We had a full house, Friday night, for the crowning of our ambassador James Rice, the first boy to win the title in the fair's history; and the crowning of Prince Josh Flood and Princess Nyah Beisel. Congratulations!

The entertainment was the ever-popular John Heaman and his wife, Geneva.

The pie and cake auction, held Friday night, was a great success with 13 pies and cakes auctioned off by Rodney Ribey. Thank you to all the people who participated in this great fund-raiser.

The best-behaved dog was awarded to Sonic owned by Shayleigh Nolan. The shortest/ longest dog was owned by Shayleigh Nolan. The cat with the longest tail was Whiskers owned by Caprice Ricks and the hairiest cat was also won by Whickers.  Best dressed-alike pet and owner was won by Hayley Woods and her rabbit. Best-groomed pet was owned by Annika VanVeen, and the most unusual pet was a chinchilla owned by Lance Taylor. Congratulations!
