Being 166 years-running, the Arnprior Fair has seen it all.
The fair has survived two world wars, and the 1919 Spanish Flu pandemic.
Back then, there was no Virtual option- but that’s what Fair Board President Brad Runtz and his team of volunteers have come up with for the 2020 edition.
Those who had their decorations up by Civic Holiday Monday, and keep them up until August 10th will be judged in four categories.
You’re on your own for the design, as long as it incorporates “Arnprior Fair” into the display, and Runtz himself will select a Presidents Award winner for a 2021 Fair package.
Runtz says those who buy Arnprior Fair fridge magnets are eligible for draws for 22 thousand dollars in prizes, including a 2020 Yamaha Zodiac 450 4-wheeler, Ride-on lawn tractor, playstation, TV, camping package and kayak.
You can enter the draw until August 9th, with winners being announced August 11th.
