A DAY AT THE FAIR

カントリー・フェアー

The Interior Provincial Exhibition and Stampede in Armstrong B.C. continues to grow in size and popularity as they open for their 106th year.

Born out of early settler lives and traditions, the fair of today offers a glimpse for the rest of us into an early lifestyle without television, video games, and cell-phones.

There is the entertainment, from music, rodeo, midway rides and games, food, displays etc.

Large flywheels dominate the early versions of typical engines found on the farm.

From biggest pumpkin, best homemade wine, baking goods, preserves etc. to prize-winning livestock, you will find a very long list of what came from the efforts of farm life.

Of course, you need a cowboy hat to complete that county look ...

This event is a "must-see" for those wanting to experience Canadian rural life at its best.
