Richmond Fair – the horses




Here were are: Richmond Fair, Sept. 14th - 17th. Richmond has a long farming and 4-H history. The town will be 200 years old. For Canada, this is a long history.


While the food booths and rides weren't open, we were there to see the horses.

These two insisted on a better photo than my walk-by shooting!


At 10 a.m., some were just getting set up! Sadly, there were long line-ups of families waiting to buy tickets for the rides. Only one booth was open. Most of the rides had not started up yet. Someone, misread the eagerness. I passed two pairs of people, ready to set up the other two tickets booths.


This is a favourite spot: the food. I had some bacon on a bun for brekkie. Hubby wanted to get there in time for me to get back for the Bear Wise Seminar in Perth.


I like beaver tails. Sadly, there are far too many calories. Ontario requires restaurants to post calories.

Sadly, cultural appropriation of Dream Catchers.


The parking was busy, by the time we left.

Richmond Fair Parade – 2015

Richmond Fair parade, Saturday, September 19th. Traffic was backed up on the main street. The music is always stirring, with traditional bagpipes, as well.

Apparently, you can hire the princesses for your children's party! Who knew? The little children were thrilled with the princesses
