Hello everyone, As many of you know may remember I have been working on a book on old schools and was wondering if anyone has personal memories or heard memories from their ancestors about school Fairs? If so I would be very interested to hear about them like where they were held, what type of livestock did they have, do you remember hearing about any particualar cooking dishes they talked about, maybe special knitting projects etc... Also, does anyone remember any prizes that wre given -- money or other prizes? Did they travel great distances to go to the closest school fairs .. did they grow the vegetables in their school gardens or their own gardens etc... Feel free to email me off the list at _bumbly73@aol.com_ (mailto:bumbly73@aol.com) if you don't want to post your reply to all in the group. I keep finding new topics for my books which may end up being several books when I finish all my research... and hope you all enjoy them. I also plan to add some more info on to my personal website _www.atlanticcanadahistory.com_ (http://www.atlanticcanadahistory.com/) schools section soon as well. i look forward in hearing back from anyone who has some info all info is welcome ....
