The Richmond Hill Recycling Committee opened the Recycling Depot in October 1975 to provide the facilities where recyclable materials can be deposited. For information about recycling call Marlene Turner at 884-6671 or Nancy Moritsugu at 884-4508. From the depot, these materials are shipped to plants, where glass, newspaper, metal and cardboard are reprocessed into new products. A 7 first three years of operation, the Recycling Depot shipped more than 500 tons of material for recycling. work at the depot involves 50 volunteers, and the reduced tonnage for disposal saves money for all taxpayers in the town.

A The modern fair boasts a midway with rides for children of all ages, and games of chance where the hand and the eye compete to see which really is faster.

What startéd basfcallyas an agficulture fair has grown over the years to the Fair we have today. Horses have always played a major role in the Spring Fair, and they still do.
