World’s Fair needs volunteers
WATERFORD — The next Waterford World’s Fair meeting will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 8, at the dance hall at the fairgrounds. Everyone is welcome. After the meeting check-out the grounds and all the new improvements that have been finished lately.
With the time for the fair fast approaching, President Dana Hemingway would like to remind all members, and interested volunteers, that help is needed to get the grounds and building ready before the fair and that help is needed during the fair.
Right now there are several buildings that could use a coat of paint and all the fairgrounds need to be mowed and trimmed. The fair has the paint and a riding mower but some of the grounds need a push mower or a weed wacker, which the fair does not have. To volunteer, come to the meeting on July 8 or call Dana at 595-2430 or vice president Bill Winslow at 595-1601.
