Fun times coming to Caledon Fair


Thrills and spills; action and passion; magic and music are all part of the round-up for this year's 154th Caledon Fair, which celebrates local agricultural heritage.
More than 1,000 competitions, including dairy and beef cattle, home baking and crafts will highlight this year's show, while midway rides all weekend entertain the kids.
Friday evening, there will be a Giant Truck and Tractor Pull. Saturday will see a gaited horse show, Hunt Club Challenge, Lawn Tractor Challenge followed by “country hoe-down” barbecue fill the entertainment roster. Then Sunday, there will be Sport and Welsh Pony Shows, Carriage Driving, and Heavy Horse Pull to charm horse lovers. With 4-H competitions, the Agricultural Awareness Pavilion and Hall Exhibit displays, there is something for everyone at one of Ontario's oldest agricultural fairs.
The Showmobile stage will feature Kicking Country, Steppingstone and Rusty Wheel doing one-hour sets all day Saturday, and Julien Kellen and her band will be performing Sunday afternoon at 1 and 3 p.m.
Daily magic shows, a petting zoo, pony rides and the Cedar Glen YMCA “Kids Games” will keep the small-fry happy, while Mom bops to renowned Elvis impersonator and two-time festival champion Glen Aitchesen and Dad hits the driver's seat for the Lawn Tractor games after perusing antique tractor and equipment displays. Even the family pet has a role at this year's Fair with Sunday's Caledon's Pet Show. The crowd-engaging K9 Agility Dogs and two days of equestrian competition provide plenty of action for everyone.
Caledon Fair is owned and managed by volunteers of the Caledon Agricultural Society, a registered charity which includes SnowFest (February Family Day) and Canada Strawberry Festival (July 1). All proceeds raised during events are dedicated to the refurbishment and maintenance of the Caledon Fairgrounds.
