Fair Entries

As the fair grows closer, we hope you can browse through all of the classes available to you and find something to spark your creative juices. Whether it’s trying a new recipe, taking a stroll with your camera, working on tractor pulls or growing new items in your garden, the Fair has competitions for everyone! Join us this year as we celebrate “Apple Trees and Honey Bees”. Although neither are native to Canada, both apple trees and honey bees were introduced by settlers in the 1600’s, they have become an integral part of today’s thriving agricultural industry. Join us September 20th-22nd, 2024 at our fair. See you there!!
