An Auctioneer in cowboy hat calls for bids as two men hold up the chair he's selling. Also sold at auction were hundreds of quilts and a two-storey red birdhouse, which went for a price the deep-voiced auctioneer said doesn't even pay for the lumber. The fair was organized by Mennonites in New Hamburg and in neighboring cities, towns, villages and farms. I like the bustle of the people around, a Waterloo high school girl said as she sold bright-coloured balloons.

This land is ours, a pageant depicting the long pilgrimage of the Mennonites from Europe to western Ontario, contains a cast of present-day Mennonites from Waterloo County and is written and produced by Urie Bender and directed by Loretta Yoder, in foreground. The Amish Mennonites fled from religious persecution in Switzerland in the 16th century through Germany and Holland and came to Canada 150 years ago. There will be at least 6 performances at Avon Theatre in Stratford starting Oct. 7.
