Trade fair, races kick off May 19 BY GARY GEE Windspeaker Staff Writer HOBBEMA, Aha. Community support is essential to the success of any busi- ness community. With that in mind, the Hobbema Chamber of Commerce once again is promoting its second annual trade fair and exhibition. Slated for May 19 -21, the trade fair will showcase exhibits and services from native and non -native business- es. "It's basically to show what services businesses have to offer," says Chamber of Commerce spokesman Glenda Omeosoo. "It's a meeting place for retailers and businesspeople. The public in general can come out and see what businesses have to offer them," she said. This year the trade fair will have the added attraction of thoroughbred and chuckwagon races, all to be held at the Panee Agriplex. The two events are expected to help boost attendance for both the trade fair and the race events. Larry Hodgson, gen- eral manager of the Agriplex says with good weather, there should be thousands out to see the best in the world from the World Professional Chuckwagon Association on one of the fastest tracks in Alberta.
