166th Harrow Fair

WE'RE BACK!!! September 1st - September 4th, 2022

 

March 15, 2022

For the past two years we have experienced online learning, zoom meetings and virtual services of varying types but now things appear to be returning to normal. It is with this in mind that the Board of Directors decided at their most recent meeting it's time for Family Activities In Realtime. It’s time to:

  • volunteer
  • make your exhibits
  • play Bossy Bingo or sit in the tent using corn
  • enjoy music under the stars
  • dunk someone in a tank
  • pet a goat or watch a cow being milked, maybe do both
  • stroll amongst talented artisans
  • plug your ears during the tractor pull
  • eat cotton candy, hot dogs, ribs, chicken, beef on a bun or ?
  • get quilting
  • dress the kids for the picture on those big machines (bet they’re bigger, the kids that is!)
  • dig out the chairs for the parade
  • 4-H and ACE Midway will be at the Fair - Something for everyone

The 166th presentation of the Harrow Fair will take place September 1st through September 4th, 2022!

The economic impact of delaying this presentation for two years has been felt by many charitable groups, vendors, entertainers, and local businesses that rely on the Harrow Fair, some as their main/major source of revenue.

There are those who began the journey through COVID that did not survive and therefore will not enjoy another Fair, come to the Fair in their memory. There are those amongst use who did make it through but are not as young as they were or not in the same shape as when it began thus requiring some difficult life changes.

To ensure our success we need new volunteers to fill these gaps. To volunteer contact us by email at:

We are preparing this presentation assuming no restrictions or mandates; however, we will be employing lessons learned throughout the pandemic on how to minimize disease transmission. We are working to improve airflow in all our exhibit areas and will increase the availability of sanitation centres.

I look forward to seeing what Bushels, Bales and Tails is all about.
