The Ranfurly Ag Society hosted its 39th Annual Agricultural Fair on Aug. 23. The weather was exceptionally good, hospitality top notch and variety of activities impressive.
Pancakes were the first order of the day, followed by the parade, children’s activities, bench show, horse show, gymkhana, steak supper, live and silent auction.
All of the featured events were very well attended. Bench Show Chair Tara Kuzio said there were more than 30 exhibitors and over 500 entries.
The Horse Show attracted a total of 50 entries, with riders varying in age from three years, all the way up to 85 years of age. There were 44 classes in all with 15 of those being heavy horses and driving classes. A four horse hitch was also featured in that event. It was the first time the team of horses were put together. Dale Menzak had the two lead horses and M J Wowk had the two wheel horses made quite an impression on the crowd which showed their appreciation.
A total of 200 people enjoyed steak and all the trimmings for supper and eight rocks from the former curling club were auctioned off. All proceeds from the event go back to the Ag Society for upkeep and maintenance of the grounds, and plans are in the works to replace the windows in the recreation centre.
