New Ross Fair
The 2nd longest continuous running competition in
Nova Scotia took place on August 21st in New Ross. The 20th edition saw
one of the largest turn-outs ever. The fair also draws one of the best
armwrestling crowds you will find anywhere. Several hundred people fill the fair
grounds cheering on their favourite armwrestler. In years past they have
stayed and watched even as rain pounded down upon them.
The hero on this day was young Jeremie Hachey who drove 5 hours from New
Brunswick. He won the right hand light and middleweight classes. He also won the
left hand lightweight class and threw fear into the heavyweights finishing a
very respectable 4th.

The bright sunshine outside and the 40 degrees inside didn't stop an
enthusiastic crowd in Kennetcook for cheering on the local favourites.
Jeremie Hachey, the just turned 18 year old phenom from
Bathurst, NB crushed all the competition in the right and left hand lightweight
categories. Then local strong man Kerry Anthony took out all comers in the right
and left hand heavyweight divisions.
There were two challenge matches on the day. In the first Rejean Allain started
out with 2 wins over Rick Pinkney, but then Rick came back with 4 wins in a row.
In the second it was Shaun Deveau and Chris Scott in a left hand battle. They
traded the first 3 matches back and forth; but in the end it was Chris's superior
wrist strength and stamina that won it for him 4-2.
