Message from the Managers
That’s right. The biggest little fair
around is celebrating its Silver Anniversary this August and we just
can’t wait. Aside from old favourites, we’ve added a slew of new and exciting events and displays. We’re kicking off the festivities on Friday night with the Teddy Bear Parade, Mom and Dad Calling Contest, Pony Pull, and our new County & Western Invitational Music show, where some of the area’s finest local talent will have a chance to shine. Bring your boots and prepare for a stompin’ good time. As always, the Fair is geared towards
family fun and entertainment. And, when the kids aren’t looking, we
throw in a bit of education too at the antique farm machinery display
and the Name That Tool contest. Don’t worry about the kids getting bored
either. They’ll be fully occupied cuddling baby bunnies, visiting the
animal display, watching goats get milked, and making their own
skipping rope on an old-time rope maker. They can try their hand at
working iron at the Beverly Forge’s interactive blacksmithing
demonstration and enjoy playing instruments in our rhythm circle led by
Barry Haywood – a popular event for all ages. Youth 16 and under still get in for free
and our Fair passport encourages education. Plus, those who have
entered crafts, baking, or artwork, into the judged competitions also
have the opportunity to win monetary prizes that just might help them
buy enough ice cream or corn on the cob to see them through the day. It’s all made possible by our wonderful
advertisers, sponsors, and volunteers, as well as participants like
you. So come on over and enjoy the biggest little fair around. We’d
love to show you what we’ve learned in the last twenty-five years. Note: Any person interested in joining the Wilberforce
Agricultural Society should feel free to contact the fair by email:
