e Kiskatenaw Fall Fair. Tucked away on a country road just off the Hart Highway about a half hour west of town, this old time community fair is a reminder of simpler times.
There is none of the glitz and glimmer found at the large exhibitions, this country fair is like home cooking. A barn filled with local handcrafts and preserves, a few rows of prize farm animals and 2 days of horse shows.
I am inspired to get a couple of geese but have been told their looks are nicer than their personalities so will do more research.
We always go on the Saturday for the heavy horses pulls. I love to see those huge animals showin
g what they were raised to do. They skid heavy logs through obstacle courses just like they skidded logs out of the forest when horses did logging. The teams also compete to see who can pull the heaviest loads. It truly is teamwork at it's finest.
The food is home cooked, generous and very affordable. The admission price is by donation and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.
The fair is held at the beginning of August every year and is well attended by locals and visitors alike. This year we sat and chatted with a couple from Nebraska on their way up the Alaska Highway.
