Virden Agricultural Society Fair Largest In History
The Virden fair, the biggest since the forerunner began in 1884, featured a strong livestock showing with top sheep and swine entries. Two days of harness racing and a vast midway with Kiddie land drew about 6,500 attendees over three days, weather cooling evenings. Major draws included the Aberdeen Angus regional show and the Sheep regional show, with cattle housed in the curling rink and other livestock in tents. The event was opened by H C Odell and J C Cory, who praised the society and noted the effort to elevate the fair to Class B status.
