The Richmond Fair made a comeback this year after a year of pandemic lockdowns. The Sept. 16-19 fair was back to the real deal with a midway, 4-H shows, horse and cattle shows and demolition derby. The recent Renfrew Fair was also re-opened this year with a midway and most in-person events. The Richmond Fair sidelined a few big events, including the parade and community dinner. Tickets were sold at the entrance gate only. Vaccination status was not required but masking was enforced, sort of.
Metcalfe’s Bourbonnais Percherons and the Foster Family Belgians from North Gower compete in the six-horse hitch.
