Village tradition alive and well as Lougheed Fair enters its 90th year

The bench exhibits continue to be a popular draw for many visitors to the Lougheed Fair, where little has changed except for the constantly expanding list of sections to enter under, where diligent volunteers adjust and add classes and sections with new categories.

The first Lougheed Fair was held Oct. 10, 1919, under the auspices of the Goose Creek Agricultural Society.

The next 23 years saw the annual fair fall on the first Wednesday in August, then after 1941 the fair was discontinued until after the war.
