Pomp and circumstance: Mutual Life Insurance Co. is only one of six insurance firms with their head offices in Waterloo, housed in magnificent-looking buildings which add stature to the city's architecture.

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.

In traditional dress, a group of Amish farmers check over draught horses to be sold at farm show auction. The Mennonite sect is one of the few that still refuses to use motorized farm vehicles. Farmers say price of gasoline finally has exceeded cost of feed, so many others showed interest in the sales. Farm show officials said it was the largest auction in years. As one added, jokingly, a horse doesn't need a 10,000-mile check.

Picture, 1977

Home-made Preserves sold quickly to visitors from all over southern Ontario and farther away. New Hamburg's normal population of 3,000 swelled for the day to an estimated 25,000 and a sea of cars covered the infield of the track. Besides Mennonite delicacies made in farm kitchens, there were candy floss and hot dogs.
