- £ FALL FESTIVAL 1986 This weekend, Friday and Saturday, Walkerton will have their third annual Fall Festival. In the first two years, this has proven to be a very successful venture for Walkerton through the hard work of a very dedicated committee. Putting on such as this, in any town at any time, is a lot of work, but the benefits gained can mean so much to a community. In connection with the Fall Festival is the many prize drawings for the WIN Coupon Book campaign. This campaign, in its second year, is raising money for downtown improvement in Walkerton. Despite the fact a successful campaign was held last year and another is well underway, radical changes are not going to happen overnight and the money is being used basically on a long-range program which will take some time and a lot of resources to put into reality. We urge everyone to take a little time this Friday or Saturday, to come to the downtown area of Walkerton and participate in the Fall Festival. The booths of some 35 various vendors will be displayed on Friday and Saturday and along with the booths, wide variety of food, special sales by the local merchants and the big WIN campaing drawings, a lot of entertianment has been scheduled, especially for Saturday to give something for everyone to enjoy.
