f The Excitement of PC Fun for Everyone Dreamland Week W here could one have found Kyle Petty, a demolition derby, a bevy of beautiful girls, Grandpa Jones, square dancing, and all the games and rides anyone could ever want? At the annual Patrick County Agricultural Fair, of course. Sponsored by the local Rotary Club, the fair was once again a huge success for the county, bringing in extra income for local businesses. The opening night of the event played host to the Miss Patrick County Fair Pageant. Senior Tammie Greer won the pageant and went on to represent the county at the State Fair. Tuesday was a busy night for the fair. Local 4-Hers showed off their handi¬ work in a fashion show, and county bands and dance troupes provided en¬ tertainment throughout the evening. To top the evening off, Kyle Petty, driver for the local Wood Brothers’ racing team, was on hand to sign autographs for his many adoring fans. Even though the rain poured on Wednesday, inclement weather did not stop people from playing the games and viewing the exhibits. The rain also did not inhibit local dare-devils from com¬ peting in the smash-em-up demolition derby. Friday night was a treat for senior citizens with square-dancing and the ap¬ pearance of Grandpa Jones from the CBS television show “Hee Haw.” A rousing fireworks display closed the fair Saturday night and brought to a finish week for all.

Teresa’s eyes are closed — possibly in fear? up the fair with a simple sentence, “Mama, I have to go to the fair — it’s everything!” The bright lights of the fair give an illusion of another world. And for one special week eve¬ ry year, the dream of fair-land becomes re¬ ality. (photo by Andrea Witt) 12 PC Fair

oJL Faculty Play Snoopy i DOG-GONE GOOD “What’s up in those clouds anyway?” Mr. Moore as Linus waves at Goliath in the sky. CC ... waving at me, what do you see?” That one line from a song in the faculty presentation of “Snoopy” caused approximately 1200 students to laugh hysterically for two assembly pe¬ riods. That was quite a feat, considering that the singer was agriculture teacher Mr. Nelson Moore as he performed in the role of Linus. The faculty presented a comedy-musical in the Spring that was well-choreographed, humorous, and judging from the applause, was success¬ ful. Who could have resisted Mr. Arnold Kloock running around as the down¬ trodden Charlie Brown? Or Ms. Brenda Martin hopping up and down on a dog¬ house flapping her wings as she per¬ formed as Woodstock? Or even Mr. Donnell rolling around in the grass as the all-knowing Snoopy? “Snoopy,” a two-act play, was con¬ densed into a variety of sketches and was presented to the student body in May. The play, in its entirety, was later presented during a public performance. The cast included Mr. Donnell as Snoopy, Mr. Kloock as Charlie Brown, Mr. Moore as Linus, Ms. Bidgie Bu¬ chanan as Lucy, Mrs. Mary Jane Taylor as Sally, Mrs. Jane Akers as Peppermint Patty, and Ms. Martin as Woodstock. The chorus for the play included Mrs. Jo Moricle, Mrs. Janet Moore, and Mrs. Illene Pons, with Mrs. Rendy Williams as pianist. Under the direction of Mrs. Maria Oden, the faculty and educational staff members of the community joined to¬ gether for their second annual presen¬ tation. According to Mr. Donnell, “The play was a great opportunity for faculty who never sees each other to come to¬ gether. It gave students a chance to see teachers in a different light which teach¬ ers and students enjoy.” “What do you mean, that’s not the right an¬ swer?” Mrs. Akers, Mr. Klook, Mrs. Taylor, Mr. Moore, and Miss Buchanan study hard in class. 14 Faculty Play
