I hope everyone had a great time at the Shawville Fair over the Labour Day long weekend. The fair kicked off Thursday evening with a huge crowd out to watch the truck and tractor pull. Congratulations to Terry Provost as he won his class with his tractor The Grasshopper. This was the first year I’ve ever entered anything for judging in the handicraft exhibits and I was so excited to see red ribbons on all five of the crocheted items I submitted. What a fun experience. My niece Danica stayed with me for the weekend and we had a great time in the midway, watching some of the shows (The Keepers were a favourite) and enjoying many treats. The weather was perfect and we had a fabulous time. Hats off to the many organizers and volunteers who make the Shawville Fair such a special event in our area. It was, once again an amazing weekend.
