Covid 19 Pandemic Update
The 2021 Paisley Fall Fair was Cancelled
In light of Covid 19 and the devastating impact it has brought to our world, the Paisley Agricultural Society Board of Directors made the decision to cancel the 2021 Fall Fair. We value our dedicated volunteers, we care about the well-being and safety of our members, judges, vendors and our fair-goers and we respect our community, our supporters and our surrounding agricultural societies. All of these factors made the decision be the only right decision.
However we organized two really awesome community events that were a huge hit!
Our first ever Fair Day Car Rally saw 50 cars participate by following a route throughout the former townships surrounding Paisley and visiting farms, gardens, and doing activities that would remind them of our fall fair. The day concluded with pandemic-friendly dinner of beef on a bun and fresh cut French fries, and pie, for participants to enjoy in their car, while they listened to live music.
We also made up 75 family Ag Bags jammed full of traditional fair activities, games, crafts and food. These were free and many of our fair families thoroughly enjoyed all surprises in the bags.
