Ottawa Journal: Fall Fairs in Dufferin–Caledon


The fall is quickly approaching, as the leaves are starting to turn into an array of reds and orange. The beginning of fall brings with it the return of school, sweaters, and something wonderful for all of us in Dufferin-Caledon - fall fairs! We have five different fall fairs taking place within our riding from the north to south; enough for everyone to schedule a trip for a fun-filled weekend or two.

The Orangeville Agricultural Society will be hosting the first fall fair of the season at the Orangeville Fairgrounds. Starting August 30th until September 2nd, there are events planned for the whole long weekend. The weekend will include many exciting events: horse pulls, an Eagles tribute band, Midway rides, and a petting zoo, to name just a few. For more information on the Orangeville Fall Fair, please call 519-942-9597 or visit http://oaseventcentre.ca/orangeville-agricultural-society.

In the northern part of the riding, the 146th Shelburne Fall Fair will be taking place the weekend of September 13th to 15th. The fair will no doubt be fun for the whole family. It's organized by the Shelburne District Agricultural Society at the fairgrounds and will be jam-packed full of activities for kids, parents, and grandparents all weekend long!
