Apple Pies & Harvest Skies: 170 Years in the Community “Apple Pies & Harvest Skies: 170 Years in the Community” is the theme for this special year. Image all the changes that have happened over 170 years, yet apple pies and harvest skies still exist and remind us of our rural roots and outdoor experiences. The fair continues to have a wide variety of exhibition classes that people can enter. Music has always been a part of the fair experience. There will be music Friday and Saturday nights. Animals will be on the fairgrounds at the 4-H shows, the horse shows, and in the farm animal display barn. Food has always been at the fair and this year there will be once again a Community Meal on Friday night and food trucks will provide tempting treats. Change is evident in the classes entered. Over 100 years ago butter was exhibited and homemade cloth was on display. Horse racing was part of the fair experience in the past and now no evidence is left of the race track or grandstand. Cars don’t park in the fairgrounds today and school children don’t march in school by school to be awarded prizes for how well they marched and dressed for the occasion. The fair still generates memories for our current visitors. It connects our rural and urban communities during the fair weekend. It facilitates a social opportunity for tourists, residents, and cottage owners to experience something together. When the fair weekend concludes, the fairgrounds take on a quieter role of being a space so many use to experience the outdoor environment with sports or relaxation or view the harvest skies. Join us on the fairgrounds, August 14-16. Happy 150th birthday Bayfield and celebrate with us our 170th at the Bayfield Fair. Welcome to the 170th Bayfield Agricultural Society’s annual fair! That same year, the Bayfield harbour was the scene of shipping a hundred thousand bushels of wheat. This, at a time when only approximately 20,000 acres of land was crop farmed; and, wheat was transported by wagon to the river flats elevator, loaded and sent across the country or exported beyond. Bayfield was thriving! Histortcal records tell us that, in later years, Bayfield area was the original home of Ontario’s second largest apple evaporator, and that brings us to the celebration of this year’s theme “Apple Pies and Harvest Skies”. Orchard Line is well-named to this day as the strip of land paralell to the lake shore that is fruit growers’ haven Come out to learn and love our heritage as the village also celebrates the first incorporation sequecentennnial. The function of land and lake at this tiny port of fishng industry to the love of recreation boating has kept Bayfield in the hearts of seasonal visitors for a century and more. Now called the Bayfield Community Fair, as hosted and presented by the Bayfield Agricultural Society, we invite you to experience and enjoy the fun and entertainment.
