THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THE 2012 FAIR SUCH A WONDERFUL SUCCESS. SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!!!!
AND A FULL DAY WITH THE FAMOUS MILLARVILLE FARMERS' MARKET TOO!!

The Priddis & Millarville Fair, more than a century-old, is one of the last, great, traditional, old-time Agricultural Fairs in Canada.
Founded in 1907 and held every year since, the Fair today is a wondrous extravaganza for kids in particular, with a Kid's World, a petting zoo, big horses, small horses, hayrides, roping competitions and ribbons awarded in junior events ranging from photography to baking to 4-H. The day is a big one for adults as well, including a multitude of competition ribbons and a parade, not to mention a full day integrated with the famous Millarville Farmers' Market.
You see, coming out to the Fair is is only half the fun you COULD have. The other half lies in participating in the Fair, putting your best crafts, baking, grains and grasses and animals up for those all-important winning ribbons that are keepsakes forever.
