Above all, according to organizers, the fair is 'a community effort. 'There are about 40 members of the Blackstock Agricultural Society (the fair's spon- sors)," said Joyce Kelly, secretary of the society. "About 100 people are direct- ly involved in operating the fair." But that's only part of an agricultural fair, she points out. In one way or another, almost all local residents support the fair in one wdy or -- another. Considering the indirect contributions such as individ- uals and groups such as church groups, clubs, and various other organizations that run booths or help out with the fair's operation, a good percentage of the local * population is involved.
