LISTOWEL – Competition lists are now available for Listowel Fair 2021 activities.
Listowel Fair is hosting virtual competitions for homecraft, vintage farm and classic vehicles categories, as well as a pet show.
The Baby Show is also going forward this year in a virtual format.
The competitions are open for anyone to enter. And, with the competitions being virtual, it doesn’t matter where participants live in province or even in Canada.
“You can enter online with the click of a button,” organizers note.
The homecraft and vintage farm and classic vehicles competitions are open to any age while the pet show is open to Youth 18 and under.
After judging takes place, all competitions and results will be featured online through social media, the Listowel Agricultural Society website and YouTube.
The baby show will feature babies 24 months and under.
This show of pictures will also be featured online. Every entrant receives a title (e.g. baby with the biggest smile, baby most likely to become a farmer, baby with curliest hair, etc.).
