The weather was very cooperative over the weekend as the Caledon Agricultural Society put on the annual Caledon Fair. What would an Agricultural Fair be without livestock being shown? Katelynne Thomson of Collingwood was showing FMS Cosmo, who was judged the Grand Champion Heifer Calf and the Grand Champion at the Fair. On hand for the award presentation were judge Rex Crawford of Orangeville, Fair Ambassador Diana Limebeer and Junior Ambassador Samantha Intranuovo.
