Steppin' out in style as only Clydesdales can

The annual Paisley Fall Fair was once again a big success thanks in part of Mother Nature who cooperated with good weather.

Ambassador Kelsey Ribey

Kelsey Ribey, sponsored by Joannie's Fashions of Paisley, was selected as this year's Paisley Ambassador.  A Grade 12 student at Saugeen District Secondary School (SDSS), Ribey was  born and raised in Paisley and is involved in a variety of sports from hockey and curling to ruby and 4H.

Ribey is also an active volunteer in several organization, including, Me to We, peer Helpers, Pumpkinfest and Port Elgin's Relay for Life.  Her future goals are leaning toward becoming a nurse or veterinarian.

While Saturday was the official judging day for the many categories such as baking, preserves, quilting and horticulture, Sunday was the  main fair day.

With events for the entire family that ranged from the Education tent to the Ladies' skittle throw, the main attraction was the many horse events that took place throughout the day.
