A steer and heifer show was part of last year's Arcola Fair.

ARCOLA - The Arcola Fair will have something for all ages on June 24, and the show will go on rain or shine.

It starts at 7 a.m. with the pancake breakfast being served by the RM of Brock and the Arcola Fire Department. This will take place at the Ag Pavilion until 9 a.m.

The lineup for the parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the south end of Main Street. The parade will go north on Main Street and turn east onto Balmoral Avenue heading to the fairgrounds.

Displays will be on display at the exhibition hall from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Anyone wishing to enter items should contact Judy Haylen.

The steer show starts at noon and runs until all classes are completed. This takes place in the main ring.

Fun for the kids is at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex in the rink with the Optimist kids’ zone. There will be plenty to do for the youngsters from noon-4 p.m.

There will be a petting zoo on the grounds for those that love animals. It will start at 11 a.m. and load-up time will be 4 p.m.

At the agriculture pavilion, a magician will entertain and a face painter will gladly give people some colourful design. Both events begin at 1 p.m.

Arcola Prairie Place Hall hosts a trade show with many different vendors starting at 11 a.m. and closing at 3 p.m.

The talent show will begin at 2 p.m. in the hall, with a category for juniors and seniors. All talent is welcome, including dancing, singing, magic, comedy and more. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place.

Once outside, the car show will be ready to begin at 2 p.m.

All day the slo-pitch tournament will be scheduled, and this too will be on rain or shine.

The beer gardens are open at 2 p.m. and will continue until midnight, while the band Ten Miles High will hit the stage at 7 p.m., closing the place down at midnight.

“It is a filled day,” said Luke Hislop, one of the board members. “People will not want to miss out on the fun.”
