Ontario Visited Experience ~ Excerpt of Ontario Fairs Visited Article to
give you a taste of what to expect at the Fair
… by Judi (Scoop) McWilliams … At a beautiful modern building with a
huge porch and grand entrance we found the Fair offices. At the entrance rows
and rows of competition flowers and arrangements were displayed in glass vases,
and clear stands allowing the open aired ambiance to showcase these spectacular
displays and arrangements. We continued to explore this grand building. The
main hall housed displays of agriculture of all kinds. Quilts, baked goods,
crafts were on display. Rows of wheat housed in wooden boxes allowed us to view
the types of grains. This entire building was huge and so well organized it
allowed us to enjoy ourselves immensely. It was colourful, educational and
entertaining all at once. There were hands on agricultural activities and
demonstrations all day. We reluctantly left the building to return to the
brilliant sunshine outside. At one end of the fair grounds we explored “Heritage Square”, the antique tractor
and equipment displays. There were volunteers explaining these spectacular
displays to the visitors. One building was designed as an old fashioned general
store, right down to the original pricing of goods from the era. Tall metal black
stallions stood beside the store making for a great "photo shot".
Rows and rows of tractors from all sizes and periods of time adorned the field
as we walked with amazement. There were
activities from Steam Engines, to Operating Thresher, Sawmill, Working
Windmill, Rope Maker, Walking Plows, and more. I think the Operating Thresher
captured our attention for quite some time as we watch in amazement.
