4 Friday, March 26, 2021 brooklintowncrier.com Spring Fair Postponed Till 2022 Covid has stopped the Brooklin Spring Fair in its tracks for the second straight year. Tracy Hanson, President of the Brooklin Agricultural Society which runs the annual event, made the announcement on March 16. This would have been the Fair's 110th year, which means its return in 2022 will be the 111th version. "That won't stop us from having some virtual Fair fun," Hanson noted in the Society's press release. "We've got scavenger hunts, virtual contests and competitions, Fair food, and more." There was never a discussion, she noted, of postponing the Fair to later in the summer or fall. "It takes most of a year to plan," she said. "So even a later date wouldn't have given enough time." Other Ontario fairs which are normally slated for the late summer or fall, such as Norwood's which is in October and is the last of the weekly series, might have enough time to run, given what could occur over the coming months with vaccinations. However, for Brooklin, it just couldn't happen. Hanson urges Fair fans to check out its site at brooklinspringfair.com soon when virtual events will be posted.
