Oldest Fall Fair in Ontario
The origin of fall fairs in Ontario goes back to the Bobcaygeon
Fall Fair in Kawartha Lakes (at least as claimed on the Bobcaygeon
website. This year they are celebrating 152 years taking us back to
1858. However, the Markham
Fall Fair was started in 1844.
Fall Fairs History in Ontario
The nature of harvest season agricultural fairs fall fairs has changed
since the 1800’s when the harvest ended and farmers came together, to
talk about yield and techniques usually set up in the forum of an agricultural
society. Many fairs are Summer
Agricultural Fairs. There were always competitions, as to best yields
and talks of the best “bull”, all evolving into fall fair competitions,
for the best corn relish, or cherry pie, or best Rose, or rabbit, or antique
or home made quilt. Today the fall fairs still bring together the farming
community and the public with many fun events, 100 mile foods and produce,
activities, homemade products, including arts and crafts, and the competitive
side and tradition of deciding who has the best at the “Fall Fair”. A
getaway best buy is a fall fair that can always be combined with a fun
family
getaway weekend vacation. |
