Drumbo Fall Fair 2010

Come Celebrate - 160 Years!

Our Past, Present and Future

The theme of this year's fair is, "Come Celebrate - 160 Years!" Although the 2010 fair may appear to be very different than the first fair in 1850, in reality not much has changed. In 1850, local families gathered to compare agricultural produce in a picnic setting. Over the years, descendants of many of those same farming families continue to gather to celebrate their successes and to nurture that unique, and very special, rural community spirit. This September, come celebrate and savour this spirit with us once again!  Greetings from our President Susan Elmes.
