Manager’s Tips

For many people, a trip to a local Agricultural Fair is a new experience and these tips will help everyone have a great experience. Having fun is the priority.

1. Arrive early for the evening events. Parking and seating are limited. 5:30 p.m. recommended.
2. Please do not park in the accessible parking spots without a permit; you will get a ticket.
3. Please take advantage of the offsite parking and shuttle bus. Law enforcement will be issuing tickets where applicable on neighbouring streets or roads.
4. Check the weather forecast before you leave home and bring appropriate clothing.
5. Bring bug spray and sunblock.
6. Service dogs are welcome but must be on a leash. All other dogs are not. Remember, there are horses, cows and noisy rides on the grounds. An appropriate service dog vest and supporting documentation may be requested.
7. Bicycles, children’s scooters, skateboards and drones are not allowed in the Park.
8. This is an alcohol free event. Security is in the parking area checking for tailgaters.
9. Safety glasses and ear guards are recommended for some of our evening events.
10. First Aid is on the property to deal with health issues. If you require an EpiPen, please bring it.
11. In the event of extreme weather, tents, trees, and metal bleachers are not safe. Exit to your vehicle or find shelter in a fixed building.
12. All the Fair staff and directors are on-site to help you have a good event. Feel free to ask for assistance.
13. Since the fairgrounds are in midtown, we do try to have everything quiet by 11:00 p.m. Please help with this.
14. A caregiver accompanying a person with special needs is admitted free of charge.
15. Manual or power accessibility devices are welcome.
16. Due to new provincial regulations, the entire park is smoke-free and vape-free.
17. If you see an incident that requires a 911 call, please go directly and quickly to the Main Office so they can make the call. Having the emergency vehicle arrive at the correct gate is critical to save time.
18. Backpacks are not permitted at this event. All carry-in bags, purses or packages may be searched. Please make sure any inappropriate items, such as knives, are left at home or in your vehicle. Knives confiscated at the gates will not be returned.
19. The gates will stop admitting new guests or allowing re-entry after 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings.
20. Parents bringing young children should have a current picture of the child on hand in case they get separated at this busy event.
