115th Massey Agricultural Fair is set to go

This is the 115th year for the Massey Agricultural Fair and there is plenty of activities for the public to take in.

Dianne Emiry, the president of the Massey Agricultural Society, says the fair is always based on the farming community and there will be plenty of animals from sheep to cows, rabbits to fowl throughout the fairgrounds.

She emphasizes the fair is also family-oriented with a variety of events from the heavy horse pulls, Western Horse Show and more.

Emiry adds this is the first full fair since before the pandemic and the public is asked to be respectful to those who choose to follow COVID19 protocols.

The complete schedule and rules for the various events can all be reviewed on the society’s official site on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/masseyfair
