The Northwest Round Up and Exhibition returns to Swan River today and will go on until Sunday, July 31st.
The festival kicks off today at 4:30 p.m. with a barbecue, beer gardens, and chuckwagon & chariot races. There will also be a parade tomorrow at 10 a.m. and a pancake breakfast will take place at 7:30 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. In addition, there will be many events, activities and lots of food.
Austen Anderson, president of the Swan River Valley Ag Society, said that it's really special to people in the Valley.
"It's kind of like Swan River's weekend... People hold their family reunions this weekend and have people come and visit them... so to showcase our community and... have a big event like this, [that] makes me really proud," he added.
Anderson also said that only cash will be accepted at the gate and that admission will be $20 for adults, $10 for kids aged 5-12, and free for kids under 5.
The complete schedule of events can be found on the Swan River Valley Agricultural Society Facebook page.
