8th Annual McSpadden County Fair Happens September 10th

16 Aug

While summer continues in full swing, there are fun things to look forward to this September.  One of which is the 8th Annual McSpadden Country Fair being held on Sunday, September 10th in McSpadden Park.  This is a community event that features fun activities for the whole family including live music, games, local vendors, food trucks and the ever popular East Van zucchini races. If you have an idea on how to make a zucchini go fast, now’s your chance! Be warned though, there is stiff competition for bragging rights. If you cycle, Kickstand will be on hand doing bike tunes up by donation. As with any country fair, there will be raffles, contests and prizes.  The 8th Annual McSpadden County Fair takes place in McSpadden Park, 2125 Victoria Drive, between 11:00 and 5:00 pm. To learn more about the event and all the activities, you can visit them on online at www.mcspaddenfair.ca or on Facebook.
