Working Farm Truck Contest

What Will the Fair Committee Do Next?? How many among you have a gently aged Working Farm Truck, licence and registration still intact but displaying some clever use of mechanical ingenuity and energetic application of bale twine, fencing wire or duct tape to hold it all together?

CONTESTS & FUN

WE DO LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN OUT HERE AT THE RACETRACK. CHECK BACK TO THIS PAGE THROUGH THE YEAR FOR GAMES, CONTESTS AND PRIZES   WHO IS REGGIE? A genuine, larger-than-life, eight-foot-tall Rooster. We’re not making that up. We seem to remember Reggie being at the original Priddis & Millarville Fair in 1907 – 104 years ago – and we were surprised when he sent word that he wants to finally come home to our fantastic, old-style Agricultural Fair, on August 20.

Division Sponsors – $500 and more Alberta Financial Services CARE – Calgary Animal Referral and Emergency Charlie Anderson Chinook Llama & Alpaca Club

Straight from the barnyard

Wow. That was quite the herd. We watched the Fair crowd coming and going over at the Millarville Track the other day, miles and miles of them filling acres and acres, all through the day, big ones, little ones, floating by with their dogs and their gooses and their hay and their pies and their pictures and their horses and their ribbons and curls, with parades and floats and messy pie-eating contests, quilt auctions, raffles, kid’s playing, face-painting, sitting and visiting, shopping in the Market . . . . . . and all of the smiles, smiles, smiles . . . . .
