The weather turned out to be pretty good over the weekend; almost ideal for the annual Caledon Fair. It was a time for fun for everyone, and the midway was the source of much of that fun. Area resident Liam Unwin, 9, and his sister Julia, 11, were trying their skill at Skee ball.

The weather started off looking a little ominous, but things improved over the weekend to help make Caledon Fair a success. Being an agricultural fair, there were many animals being shown, and Kyle Stevenson from Action had the best one in Cedardale Miss Zaida, a pure bred Charolais yearling. They are seen here with the judge Nathan Stirk, fair volunteer Matthew Stevens and Fair Ambassador Patrick Forster.

Historic Melville White Church near Belfountain entered this float in the Fair parade, advertising it’s available for various functions like weddings. Jim Muir of Sleswick had Rocky and Troy draw the float, accompanied by “bride and groom” Wendy Mitchell-Burke and David Burke.
