The
107th Annual Interior Provincial Exhibition and Stampede is ready to roll! Beginning
August 30th until September 3rd, enjoy the sights and sounds of a truly agricultural fair. A few insider hints from those who have been there: 1.
Come early -
gates open at 7:30am. Get a parking spot - cost $5.00 - don't use your gas driving around looking for a free spot - support our local non-profit groups. All proceeds from the large lots go to support community events. 2.
Gate admission - the best deal in BC -
$12.00 for adults - includes everything except food and the midway.
Canadian Pro Rodeo action begins nightly at
8pm and is part of your gate admission! 3. Looking for an
alternative to
traditional fair food? Don't miss the
Haystacks, horse blankets and sit down suppers sponsored by local churches and non-profit groups. And what's a fair without mini donuts or a corn dog? Come see us at the fair - we'll meet you at the front gate!
