News - When the Renfrew Fair was founded, its roots were strictly agricultural; a place where farmers could compare and showcase the fruits of their labour. The fairs of today are much broader in their scope, from demolitions derbies to midways, but agriculture remains at the heart of the Renfrew Agricultural Society’s five-day celebration. So it’s only fitting that two highlights of this year’s exhibition were directly related to agriculture. The Renfrew Fair set a record in the horse ring Sunday afternoon as 10 six-hitch teams competed for top honours in the heavy horse competition. Fair board secretary also noted an “awesome beef show” Sunday and great livestock shows earlier in the week. On Sunday a new Supreme Breeders Herd Class trophy was introduced in memory of Murray Crozier. The trophy, sponsored by the Renfrew County Cattlemen’s Association, will be presented annually. The inaugural winner was Charolais breeders Baker Farms of Madoc. Fair officials report that attendance was, on average, on par with other years and actually slightly up on Saturday from the previous year. Next month fair board members will meet to review the 2013 fair and begin setting plans for next year.
