For more information see: www.blackstockfair.ca The 152nd Annual Blackstock Fair August 25 - 26 Some Ontario fairs have been around since the early 1800s - Williamstown Fair started in 1812, Delta Fair started in 1830, Bobcaygeon Fall Fair started in 1858, Norwood Fair started in 1868... it is incredible to think that these events have been constantly put on for 200 years! Fall fairs still bring together the farming community and the public with many fun events, 100 mile foods and produce, activities, homemade products, including arts and crafts, and the competitive side and tradition of deciding who has the best at the “Fall Fair”.
