Friday night’s opening of the Cobden Fair not only honoured those who were winners at last last year’s fair, but the memory of a father killed the night before the opening.
Whitewater Region Mayor Hal Johnson spoke briefly about Adam MacGregor, a father of two and soon to be one more, husband, son, brother and volunteer firefighter. He had been tragically killed in a motorcycle crash at the intersection of Hwy. 17 and Foresters Falls Road.
Mayor Johnson asked those to remember Mr. MacGregor in a moment of silence.
Various awards were then presented.
Wendy and Gordon Angus received the Agricultural Society Service Award. Revel Stewart read aloud a statement he prepared as to why these two are deserving of the award, which included the fact they have been involved with the horse show event for many years.
