Visitors can watch demonstrations of dog agility or sheep shearing, take in midway rides, shop among the vendors or dine at the many concessions.
Sure, music is on the agenda, but the Jammin’ theme for this year’s Saanich Fair is about the kind of jam that comes from fruit, not guitars.
This year the fair, hosted by the North and South Saanich Agricultural Society, expects to welcome between 40,000 to 50,000 people over three days, with food, more than 4,000 exhibits, animals on display and numerous midway rides. Farm animals on display in barns and stalls range from horses to cows, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, alpacas and pigs. Young members of 4-H club will be on hand to show off their animal husbandry skills.
“Many of the volunteers are members of the society who generously give their time to help,” said Saunders.
