Sept 1956 Elmvale Fall Fair “Memories Then”
By Linda Belcourt, Editor and Huronia Museum and Huron Quendat Village, Sep 21, 2025
Last year the theme of the Elmvale Fall Fair was “Memories: Then & Now”. This year’s theme is “Canadian Made”. We are celebrating the 163rd year. This page represents last year’s theme.
Come out in your red and white on October 10th and 11th to the Elmvale arena fairgrounds run by the Flos Agricultural Society. Let’s paint the town with red and white and put up your Canada Flags to show our town’s pride.
Hope to see you at the fair. Don’t forget Lioness Lions are serving peameal, hotdogs and drinks while you sit and rest your feet. Access is at front of arena and up the stairs.
