You cannot miss it, the first clue being all the cars parked in the vicinity. Far from a sleepy little event, this promises to showcase some amazing vegetables, preserves, pictures and home crafts. If you have ever wondered where life went then you will find it at the Horsefly Fall Fair.

Local residents are aware that judging will take place on Saturday morning and locals are urged to get there entries and fees in on Friday, Aug. 23 between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The public will be charged entry but it will not break the bank. Any child under 12 gets in for free, with those above the age of 12 paying $2 each. We all hope that you will take the time to see the produce, preserves and crafts that is an essential part of many of our lives. You will also see some pictures and enjoy local entertainment and food.
