Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show is an annual country fair that takes place in the town of Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. The fair has been active in Norfolk County since the 19th Century. The rides and midway attractions are considered by locals to be nearly that of Niagara Falls in a greatly reduced land space. There is also a horse track where gamblers can bet on horse racing on certain nights.
Inside one of the buildings, students from all over Norfolk County submit their artwork and they are evaluated by the judges. The top prize winners receive a small monetary cash prize.
During the day, bees are abundant on the fairgrounds, but at night, they are virtually absent on cooler nights. Traditionally, the local schools are given one day off from school to enjoy Young Canada Day at the fair while they receive a free admission.
And while the festivities of the fair are occurring, the Simcoe Recreation Center is temporarily closed to provide exhibition space for local items of artistic value. During the nighttime, various music bands (usually dealing in country music) would perform and the crowd is usually packed. Notable bands to perform during the festivities include Emerson Drive and Ronnie Hawkins.
