2009 Powell River Fall Fair

Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, the place to be is the Fall Fair in Powell River. It highlights and celebrates the end of the local harvest season. The gates open at noon and the fun lasts until 5:00 p.m. Admission for adults is $2 and children are free.

There will be an expanded open-air market, agricultural exhibits, competitions, demonstrations, activities for the kids, music and other entertainment on the market stage. Purchase farm fresh items for your kitchen or have a cup of tea and a "nummie" (that's what my friend Helen calls all of the great homemade baked goods) while you browse the vendor's booths. Come to the fair - hope to see you there.

Follow the signs up Duncan Street. Turn right on Padgett Road and then left on McLeod. This year there will be no parking inside the fairgrounds. Handicapped parking will be on McLeod Road. You might find a spot along by the mailboxes on Padgett Road, but better yet, take the shuttle bus service from the Town Centre Mall if you want to avoid the parking congestion. Park your car in the Town Centre north lot and get a ride right to the front gate.

Fall Fairs are held in towns large and small across Canada and America. Do you have a fair in your community to celebrate the harvest and the end of a great summer? What is your favorite thing at the fair? Tell us all about it. -- Margy
