There was a wide variety of things to see and do when Quesnel Agricultural Exhibition Association hosted the 2019 Quesnel Fall Fair Aug. 23-25 at Alex Fraser Park.
The fair promotes all aspects of agriculture, and this year’s event featured a 4-H achievement show and auction, animal displays, a horticultural show, Fur and Feather shows, kids’ activities, live entertainment, displays by home-based and community businesses, zucchini car racing, mini horse shows, food vendors and a beer tent supporting the Shiraoi Twinning Society.
The Quesnel Fall Fair’s history dates back more than 100 years. The first Fall Fair in Quesnel was held in the fall of 1912 in the Annex Hall of the Occidental Hotel on Front Street. As the fair grew, it moved to the arena, curling rink and Legion area of Quesnel, with the livestock section being held separately at Bouchie Lake.
The fair found a more permanent home at Alex Fraser Park, where it is held now, which enabled all the sections of the fair to be together in one central location.
