There weather wasn’t always cooperative over the weekend, but that didn’t do much to dampen spirits at the 161st edition of Brampton Fall Fair. The Halton Peel Holstein Show drew lots of attention Friday night. Peel Dufferin’s Queen of the Furrow Julia Thompson presented the awards in the 4-H Calf competition, handing reserve honours to her brother James, who was showing Limer, and the champion ribbon to Kori deBoer, who was showing Quality Goldwin Terry. They are seen here with the judge, Glenn Burgess of Mildmay.

The River Road Cloggers were entertaining.

Friday night had the Garden Tractor Pull to attract the crowds to the fairgrounds. Eric Rosene of Bolton was driving this machine, dubbed On the Edge.

The Sheep Show was an attraction Saturday afternoon. Dorset yearling ewes were on display here.

Folks at the Fair got the chance to experience what it’s like to milk a cow on this scale model. Seen here giving it a try were Allison Cleave of Limehouse, Laura Flaherty of Brampton, Grace Beckett of Keswick and Julia Flaherty of Brampton.

Antonio Trentadue of Ontario Falconry Centre was showing this Harris Hawk to Amelia and Sophia Carreiro of Georgetown.

It might have been a little chilly, but the crowds were out in force Saturday night to cheer on the Demolition Derby.

There were lots of neat toys from the past at the booth run by Friends of Old Britannia School House. Jean Robinson was showing Austin McDonald, 7, of Brampton and his brother Brandon, 5, how this Dancing Man worked.
