Erin Fall Fair Horse Tent Celebrates 10th Anniversary


Ten years! How time flies!


For the last decade, the son’s—Provisions


Horse Tent has offered in- formative and entertaining presentations, demonstra- tions and activities for horse enthusiasts of all ages. A Thanksgiving Weekend tra- dition for many—the Erin Fall Fair welcomes over 30,000 people annually. Presented by Bud- for


Country Living, the Horse Tent is a popular destination (the weekend sees over 12, 000 visitors) for the “horsey” and “non-horsey” set alike. From educational


exhibits, to kid-friendly crafts; from breed displays to hands-on demonstrations, the Horse Tent offers a di- verse snapshot of the local equine community. Of particular note, the


Erin Agricultural Society (EAS) Horse Heritage Hall of Fame award ceremony will be returning to the Horse Tent. This award was introduced in 2018, and cre- ated to “celebrate and recog- nize leaders within Erin’s horse community”. Last year four incredible recipi- ents received this inaugural award; who will it be this year? Come to the Horse Tent on Saturday, October 12th at 11am to find out! Horse Tent Committee


With Fall in the air—or


Chair, Nina Miles, is look- ing forward to this year’s programme: “We are really


excited about some of the new exhibitors and activities coming to the Horse Tent


for 2019. Make sure to visit us at the fair, we promise a fun experience for all!”

should we say “Fair”—Erin Agricultural Society Presi- dent Rod Perry adds: “The Fair is a wonderful opportu- nity to celebrate our com- munity and its agricultural heritage. The Horse Tent has become a tradition over the last 10 years and is to be congratulated on marking this milestone! Speaking of traditions, this year we have added some new attractions which we hope will become traditions of the future: our new tented, outdoor enter- tainment venue, Festival Gardens, which has an ex- citing line-up booked for the whole weekend; and for our young fair-goers, a larger petting farm allowing chil-


dren the chance to get up- close and personal with a variety of furry and feath- ered farm animals.” Established in 1850,


this year marks the 169th Erin Fall Fair. Described as “Ontario’s preview to the Royal Winter Fair”, the Erin Fair runs from Oct 10th to 14th; the Horse Tent is open Saturday, Sunday & Mon- day.
