You can add the Lundar Fair to the list of cherished summer events that we’ll have to go without this year.
President of the Lundar Agricultural Society, Mike Kostyshyn tells CKDM the decision to postpone the Fair is unfortunate.
Mike explains the cancellation of their April 4th bull sale made it difficult for the Ag Society to cover their Fair expenses.
“It’s quite a blow for us, but that’s the way it goes.”
The 68th edition of the Fair was set for June 12th and 13th.
The Fair features fun events to draw people in, such as the tractor pull, fireworks, and Saturday morning parade. But Mike thinks what people will miss the most is the chance to socialize and get together as a community.
On the bright side, Mike says there is a plan to try and host some kind of make-up event later in summer. The Open Farm Day on the third weekend in September has a petting zoo and different activities for children, information sessions.
Should social distancing restrictions be lifted by that time, Mike says “I’ve been in contact with the midway. If they get clearance to go, we would try to bring in some of the events of the fair, and have a 2-day event on Saturday and Sunday.”
