Shawville Fair gets underway Thursday

With the Labour Day weekend approaching, the town of Shawville is gearing up for their busiest time of the year with the return of the Shawville Fair. The event runs from Thursday to Monday (August 29 to September 2) with a host of agricultural competitions and activities for all ages.

General Manager Mavis Hanna explained that this year they have some exciting new family-friendly entertainment.

Headlining the entertainment on Friday will be Dwayne Gretzky, a 10+ piece ensemble that covers a wide range of pop and rock classics. Saturday night will feature country acts Madeline Merlo and Tyler Joe Miller while Sunday’s main stage performance will be by CCMA’s 2023 male artist of the year, Jade Eagleson.

As always, things will wrap up on the holiday Monday with the popular demolition derby.
