Brome Fair

The Sherbrooke Record
a re-print from “The Record”

We’ve had a booth at Brome Fair for three years now. To our left are the animal barns, directly in front of our booth is the animal judging area and to the right, we have the police, both the SQ and the RCMP, as well as the border patrol, the firefighters and just across from that is the ambulance. This got me to thinking just how many people do not work from nine to five, Monday to Friday.

All of the farmers must take care of their animals and their crops, and they are reliant upon the weather when it comes to sugaring or haying, planting or harvesting. Most of the firefighters in our rural area are volunteers who make themselves available day or night when summoned.

How about all of the hospital workers? Nurses, doctors, orderlies, lab techs and others? Or the people who work in residences for the elderly or disabled?
