The Yorkton Exhibition Association Summer Fair is set to run Wednesday to Saturday of this week.
Again the four-day event promises fun for all ages with the return of family favourites such as the West Coast Amusements midway and petting zoo.
New additions include a demolition derby and combine crunch Saturday afternoon and Canadian country act, Doc Walker hitting the grandstand Saturday night.
Classic rockers, Platinum Blonde, will headline Friday night.
This will also be the first year of the ‘Yorkton’s Got Talent’ contest which aims to highlight a variety of local talent including everything from dancers, jugglers, comedians, magicians and everything in between. The final is set for the Painted Hand Casino Main Stage starting at 8 p.m. Thursday.
For the kids, Freddy Fusion’s Circus and Magic Bean stage shows and pedal tractors are sure to provide loads of laughs.
Don’t miss Cirque Extreme - a nail-biting display of acrobatics and high-sky stunts.
A crowd favourite, the chuckwagon and chariots will kick the dust up on the track for three days’ Wednesday through Friday, of fast-paced races.
Of course a fair wouldn’t be a fair without the food so make sure to come hungry and indulge.
If you’ve never been, make sure to check out the Light Horse Show starting at 9 a.m. Thursday in the barn outdoor arena, and 4-H Regional Show & Sale Wednesday at the Agri-Pavilion. The two great events showcase local and area agriculture.
Other aspects of the four-day event include the Kiddies Day parade in the downtown area at 10 a.m. Thursday, and the main fair parade down Broadway Street at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The summer fair will end with the always popular fireworks display at 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
