It is the day before groundhog's day but there is no suspense- we all know he will see his shadow and there will be 6 more weeks of winter. But cheer up! The days are getting longer, the sky in February is soft and beautiful, and there is more time for rest for the land and the body.
This is also the time of year when we start thinking about the spring and the next growing season. And it's a good time to plan for the season's Agricultural Fairs. Here is a list of all the Fairs in the Whitewater region and surrounding areas for 2024.
The first fair of the season, and the best (don't fight me on this) is the Beachburg Fair, scheduled for July 4-7 2024. The Beachburg Fair has been an annual event since 1857 and features many attractions including the popular demolition derby and the horse drawing competition. For details, and where to buy tickets, visit http://beachburgfair.ca/. It's a VERY busy weekend in Beachburg so book your accommodations early!
The Cobden Fair is not to be missed! It's scheduled for August 25-27 2024. For more details visit: https://cobdenfair.com/cobdenfair/
