Fall Fair Update

We are in the final stretch now...only a week and a bit before our first Fall Fair on Friday, Sept. 16 and Saturday, Sept. 17. It’s not too late to put together entries in any of our 16 categories. Who knows? Maybe that jam made from a distant relative’s recipe may bring home a coveted blue ribbon.
The judges for the Baking and Preserves category will be using the Manitoba Food Rules. Click on the link: Standards for Judging Food

See catagories on earlier Fall Fair post below.

There have been questions about the Barn Dance on Saturday evening (7:00 pm at the Lighthouse). Yes, we will be trying some square dancing and, yes, we will have a fiddler and caller but, no, you do not have to wear a crinoline. What we need is raw enthusiasm and a willingness to give it a “go" !

Finally, on Saturday afternoon (starting a 12:00) the doors will be open for the public to come in and view the displays at the lighthouse. As well, local vendors will be selling such things as books, marionettes, hand painted glassware, jewellery, purses and scarves, knitted goods, as well as jackets and totes and other sewn goods such as dolls. Various CD’s from local musicians will also be available.

Apple pressing (to make apple juice) will also be happening on the back lawn of the Beacon Houses and kids’ races will be taking place on the lower field (starting at 2:00)
