A Decade Of Dedicated Delight How did you spend your tenth birthday? Probably nothing like the Grabill Country Fair ' s 10th birthday was spent. After ten years, the little town of Grabill is growing because of its country fair. The Grabill Country Fair started on Thursday, Septennber 9th at 10:00 A.M. Most of those attending the fair during the day were senior citizens, but by 3:30 P.M. many teens had come to join in the festivi- ties. During late afternoon and into the night various spiritual singing groups performed. Several groups from Leo High School were joined by out-of-town gospel singers. On Friday the teachers were bombed with pleas of mercy for no homework, because this was the weekend of the Grabill Fair. Most of the teachers gave in, as they too, wanted to attend the fair and under- stood how the students felt. On Saturday morning some of the students sacrificed sleeping-in to participate in the parade. The Leo band, smothering in their uniforms, led in the parade by the drill squad and rifle corps. Bands from both Woodlan and Churubusco also par- ticipated in the parade. The festivi- ties were quite a show with all the clowns, floats, antique cars and politicians from all over the state. Walking up and down the streets a person could see all the different crafts and jewelry as well as smell the delicious food. As the popular Grabill Country Fair came to an end, groups of teens joined other groups in the street to reminisce about the good times of the past two days. Every- one looked forward to the next Gra- bill Country Fair, confident it would be bigger and better and another successful year. — Krista Bute -8- grabill days lifestyles

' •••.• ' ?.•:. iV: r !mmf si ?m:my : ' Oome students had gone to Grabill Days for as long as they could remember. Some had never been there before. A select few went to Florida every break that was longer than four days. Several scooted up to Michigan for a long ski weekend. One group of students made blue jeans and concert jerseys the biggest thing since home video. Some were content with their Cheenos and small animals on their sweaters. Many found themselves frying hamburgers and washing dishes. There were those who stocked shelves at the mall. Some were not fortunate enough to find a job, others were lucky that they didn ' t need one. Studious people cracked the books hours on end. Some were carefree enough to spend a lot of leisure time at ballgames and in the Stock Exchange. Each student had his own rules to live by. Each one with his own . . .
