Happy 2017 from the fair office. Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year. Mark your calendar for January 14 as the first Flea Market of 2017 will be happening at the fair grounds. Also the fair board will be having a huge sale that day. So don't miss out on any treasures. You can find just about anything you need there.

Next on the fair board’s agenda will be the Valentine's Diamond Dinner. The grand drawing prize is a Diamond Ring valued at $899 donated by Mr and Mrs Mike Mouliot. A big thank you to them for their donation. Tickets will be on sale soon for this event. The cost again this year will be $25 per person. Watch this article for more information next week.

The horse gate key has changed and you will need to purchase a new one if you haven't already done so.

At this time the fair board is looking for 2017 Fair Themes. If you would like to submit one you can call the office or email the fair. In the next couple months there will be a lot of construction going on at the fair grounds as we start bathroom remodeling and electric upgrades.
