The Carberry Ag Society is hosting their Fair & Family Fun Days today and tomorrow at the fairgrounds.
Things kick off tonight at 7:00 p.m. with the chariot and chuckwagon races, followed by a fireworks show.
Alex Christison, promotion director with the Carberry Ag Society says this is the only local community event featuring both chuckwagon and chariot racing this summer.
“We’re just kind of putting together a weekend for the community and for people to come to. We’ve all been waiting for something for so long and this is more for the people than it is for the Ag Society.”
He adds that the Ag Society wanted to do something for the community because they had to cancel their annual fair the last couple of years.
“We thought we better do something for the community. People just want to get out and do something. This Family Fun Days is the first time we’ve ever done it. It’s just something for the people.”
Tomorrow there’s a pancake breakfast from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., kids activities from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and chariot and chuckwagons begin at 4:30 p.m.
