The fair runs from Saturday, Aug. 30, to Monday, Sept. 1, this year at the Port Perry Fairgrounds on Old Simcoe Road. Shirley Hunter, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Port Perry Agricultural Society, says the fair grows each year to include new activities and ensure it appeals to young and old alike. "This year we have two new activities: a Beach Volley Ball Tournament and a Demolition Derby," Hunter said. The ideas for the new events came from a meeting "with the Youth Council in Scugog and they suggested the events to encourage the teens to be a part of the fair," Hunter said. "The teens would come to the fair and complain that there was nothing for them to do," Hunter recalled. So, the society decided to be pro-active and find activities the teens would enjoy. This year, families will be glad to know that a new activity activity from last year is to return. It's called a family rodeo. Hunter explained "this allows audience participation and everyone enjoyed iv last year." The society hopes this year's family rodeo will include a wheelbarrow race and mutton-busting. The family rodeo is one of many events to take place on Saturday, Aug. 30. Others are: an English hunter show, a colouring contest for children, the beach volleyball tournament, tournament, a children's pet show, family entertainment and a tractor and truck pull. Sunday will start off with a 4-H Beef Cattle Show, a classic car show, craft and agricultural demonstrations, harness racing, a fiddle contest, and finish with the demolition derby at 6 p.m. Also on Sunday, there will be a beer tent which closes at 1 a.m. On Monday (Labour Day) the fair's' 60th Holstein show will start the day off and will be followed by the baby contest. Other activities during the day include the fun and games norsc snow, me iitavy norse show, and a horse pull. Of course, the agricultural buildings will be open , and bursting with displays from all age groups and there will be a midway. The grounds are open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and on Monday, Sept. 1, the grounds will be open Irom 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Claringlon residents heading heading up to the Port Perry Fair will take Hwy 7A west to Port Perry and "follow the signs to the fair grounds," Hunter said.
