Year of the Horse and horsepower at Caledon fair

There is something for everyone at one of Ontario’s oldest agricultural fairs.

The event located on Highway 10 will feature competitions, midway rides, a giant truck and tractor pull, lawn tractor challenge, and heavy horse pull. This year’s equine buffs can watch the ponies perform at the Welsh and Sport Pony Star Search, enjoy the difference that gaited horses offer,  be thrilled by the Hunt Club Challenge or marvel at the high-stakes Jumper Challenge. The carriage driving show is also a familiar favourite.

Daily magic shows, a petting zoo and pony rides will keep the small-fry happy, while Elvis impersonator Glen Aitchesen, Julien Kellen, the Muir Family, and Saturday’s live music lineup entertain the adults while they enjoy the country barbecue dinner. Bands include Kicking Country, Steppingstone and Rusty Wheel. Even the family pet is welcome at this year’s fair with Sunday’s pet show. In addition, the crowd engaging K9 agility dogs, cattle and 4-H shows will provide plenty to see.
