August 12th, 2023
The day kicked off with the parade - the Fire Department, classic cars, tractors, streamer-decorated bicycles, horses and floats made their way down the parade route. One float which would’ve likely caught people’s attention was put on by the Nokomis & District Museum. A replica of the interior of a home, complete with a lamp, wallpaper, a window, a gramophone and a fiddler. The MLA and Minister of Environment Dana Skoropad was also present.
Young people between 3 and 15 participated in the Gymkhana 6 different events with their horses. In the cattle ring, several competitions had 39 head of cattle shown by 18 exhibitors. There was also a sheep show, lawn tractor pull, slow pitch, petting zoo, a dunk tank and kid zone. The day ended with a cabaret with music by the Boarhawks with local Cory Bart.
Sheri Pederson of the Ag Society said, “We do fundraise for the fair. We have a number of sponsors…things like this don’t happen without sponsorship. We are very, very grateful for the continued support from the surrounding community and businesses...all of the surrounding towns support the fair through sponsorship in one way or another. Then, of course, thank you to everyone who came to enjoy the day. We work as a volunteer group we work really hard to create an experience that will make people smile and that families want to come back to year after year. Thank you to all of the participants- from people that came to the parade to the people that brought livestock, our slowpitch players. To all of the people that participated in the lawn mower event. Without people coming to participate, people coming to enjoy the day would have nothing to see. So thank you to them for preparing their livestock and such to come. Thank you to all volunteers, the 11 board of directors cannot do it all without the volunteers, so thank you for all of the help and effort that they put in. We look forward to hosting the Nokomis Fair next year and stay tuned for more information on that.”
Money raised from the event goes into improving the Ag Society’s infrastructure and fairgrounds.
Pederson said planning for next year’s fair will begin after Harvest, with one meeting before the end of the year. She also said that they are always looking for more board members. nokomisagsociety@gmail.com
