The Wiener Dog Races hosted by Habitat for Humanity were added to the fair this year, instead of host- ing them at Coiner Park as in previ- ous years. “It can get very hard to organize something like this, so it was really nice to fi t it in with the WOE fair,” said Celia Gowing, director of the races. Gowing says that when the races were hosted at Coiner Park, Habitat for Humanity would have to bring in other things such as food vendors to the site, but with there already being so many attrac- tions at the fair, it was really quite easy to set up. As the fair died down later in the afternoon, the wiener dog races were just getting started, and fair- goers were concentrated at the long tents to watch dachshunds dash to the fi nish line. Gowing considered the races a success, as she counted over 60 people in attendance and a total of 12 dogs that participated in the races. “I think it really fi t in with the fair, there are a lot of fun little things going around and this just blended in as one of those things,” Gowing said. The fair had plenty more to offer outside the realm of wiener dogs and lumberjacks. Friday kicked off the fair with the raising of the fl ag and an opening ceremony. Then came activities such as Grand Prix Derby building and a birdhouse building contest. Musical enter- tainment took place from locals and traveling bands such as Outlaw Shine. Susan Dean McReynolds hosted an information session on food preservation as well as dem- onstrations and educational ses- sions on how to garden by Dorothy Cruickshank. Animals occupied the barn away from the heat of the sun for the livestock show, where poultry, rab- bits and cavy were all presented in contests. At 6 p.m. on Friday, the Lumber- jack show began and went into the late hours of the night. Coordinator Kevin Dunnavin said he was there almost until midnight. “Some people were here later. There were a lot of events we had to do and then we have to put ev- erything away and get ready for the next day,” Dunnavin said. The heat was a huge factor at the fair, as temperatures surpassed 100 degrees on Friday and remained in the high 90s on Saturday. Popular spots included the beer garden and the bleachers of the Lumberjack Show, which were both decently shaded. Because of the heat, the WOE decided to add water balloon fi ghts spontaneously to help everyone cool off.
