The majority of the current members of the ad-hoc committee are township supervisors or council members. The elected officials may return to serve on the regional water commission, or individual municipalities may decide to appoint private citizens with train- ing or specific expertise who are interested in participation. Representatives from the Kings- ton Township Water Commission served as a sounding board for the ad-hoc committee. The Kingston Township commission has been in Hates existence for close to 20 years and has worked with various water companies and the Department of Environmental Resources on water quality and shortage concerns. “In general, the goals of the regional water commission involve getting all of the communities in the Back Mountain to ‘speak with one voice’ in regard to water prob- lems,” said Ellie Rodda, who is a member of the Kingston Township Water Commission. The commission could survey the Back Mountain area for water usage and establish what resources exist, as well as study the effects of development on water problems.

The event usually raises approximately $50,000 for the operations and future expansion of the fairgrounds. Property transfers klin Twp 1.92 acres, Harveys Lake Harveys Lake.

Wyoming and Carver Ave., Tie DALLASTD0ST Franklin Twp. “I hope this money raised will go to help the fairgrounds in becoming a recreational center for this area,’ said Woodward. - “The fair is a great way for non- profit organizations to reach the community and raise money, and for the public it’s just great enter- tainment,”’ he said. iy The Luzerne County Fair woulk have been impossible without the participation of approximately 250 volunteers from the Back Mountain and Wilkes-Barre areas. Every facet of the fair from the arts and crafts and livestock exhibits to the parking and ticketing is run by a separate committee staffed by community volunteers. The volunteers usually start plan- ning for the fair in January with the State Fair Convention in Lan- caster. Some of the entertainmers bookings, as well as ideas fou future events are obtained through other fair organizers at the conven- tion. By mid-July the Sommition chairpersons are usually workirg 15 hours a week on preparations for the event, and once the fair starts volunteers work every night to pro- vide whatever assistance is neces- sary to make the fair run smoothly. “One of the worst problems we | can come up against ‘is rain. Another difficulty is traffic control and the placement of exhibitors and bands,” said Woodward. Brian Pallis, a Wilkes-Barre resi- dent who co-chairs the Entertain- ment Committee, said that one year the ‘Chicago Mud Wrestler’ called him from Wilkes-Barre: shortly before they were scheduled to perform and wanted to know how to get to the fairgrounds. Another year everything was set up and in place for opening night when one of the chairpersons real- ized that no one had been assigned to staff the ticket booth. Lake Silkworth resident Marie Dietz, who is a co-chairperson for the fair publicity committee com- mented, ‘“The week before the fair starts all the volunteers start get- ting nervous, but somehow it all seems to fall together.” Back Moutnain residents —d served as committee chairpersons for this year’s Luzerne County Fair include: Dana Campbell, ‘Sweet Valley; Gary Hozempa, Dallas; Ayleen Landon, Kunkle; Ralph Sands, Kingston Township; Ed Kelly, Harveys Lake; and Dale Parry, Dallas.
