Big Show Draws Near

IN A little more tha-n two weeks The Old Home Week show

will be with us. The -long affair begins Monday August 13 Ind con- tinues through Saturday August 18. It will be I week of great

entertainment for young and old and undoubtedly once again It will receive the generous patronage of thousands of visitors in addition to our own Prince Edward Islanders. or course from I sports standpoint. the harness racing will be the main attraction. Eleven cards are scheduled. six nights and five afternoons, and great pacers and trotters are sure to make the CDP their home during this week.

has been remarkable how ten the entire program has gone ahead uninterrupted. These past two seasons not one sin- gle program was rained out. That's twenty-two race cards without one postponement.

Certainly if Old Home Week had been held early this sea- son, at record of uninterruption would have gone by the boards. it's been tough enough to get one day this month when rain wasn't falling. Perhaps by the time Old Home Week rolls around the-'re‘ll be no more rain left up there.

At any rate. the racing program is surely an ambitious one and race patrons will really get their fill of the ‘ponies’ August 13 to August 18.

Plenty Of Preparation

THERE is plenty of work getting ready for two or three races per week. But just imagine the headaches you'd face try- ing to run eleven cards in six days. That's the job that confronts Frank ‘Duck‘ Acorn each year and once again it is looming right up in front of ‘Duck’.

But he always has managed in good style and this 1962 sea- son will not be any exception. Clerk of the course. Ida Yeo, will be really on the hop that big week.With morning draws and afternoon and night racing, Ida will spend most of her time at the tra k. When she does get I few minutes home, you can b sure ‘ e will have plenty of her clerk of the course duties to comolet

e.

These jobs are touch ones and real challenges but both ‘Duck’ and Ida know their work and get these jobs done in I minimum of time. We probably know a little better than most folks because we bother them so often with questions to which they always have the answers.

ALREADY plant superintendent. Everett Hastings. and assistants are working feverishly in preparation for . show. There is so much to do to get ready for a show of this si

zc.

However to Everett It's old stuff now. He doesn't gel 1'33‘ tied but just keeps plugging allng. During Old Home Week. everybody is looking for Everett and very often at the same time. Most fellows would throw up their hands In disgust. But not Everett. He seems to have the happy facultv of being able to satisfy everybody’s requests. We know how true this is be- cause we are one o‘ the group that keeps hollering for Everett many times during the week. _

He always shows up with I solution and in good humor.

PRESIDENT Cecil Stewart and manager have their own particular problems facing . , busy as bees wi‘ many. many things. including the livestock show which is one of the greatest in Eastern Canada. Dr. Barry Pierce will be seeing to it that the vaudeville show is one of the best in years. Each year it's Dr. Pierce who looks after this particular end of the Provincial Exhibition and he appears to have the knack of lining up talented performers. Undoubted- ly he will do the same for this August celebration.

During Old Home Week she will be one of the busiest people It the Big Fair but we have no hesitation In saying that her work will be done most efficiently.

It's I big effort for I great show.
