In the meantime, the fair is asking for help finding just the right candidates for this year鈥檚 community service award.
鈥淒o you know someone deserving credit for their efforts to make Aldergrove a better place to live?鈥 asked Darl Bracklow. 鈥淧lease nominate them for the Hilda Reddick Community Service Award.鈥

The award is presented during the opening ceremonies of the annual Aldergrove Fair.
