This year Wiarton celebrated 145 years of Fall Fairs.
The Friday evening activities were held in the local community centre and included an official opening, crowning of the "Fall Fair Ambassador", entertainment, exhibits, a "chilli" bake-off and tasting, farmer olympics and a "kiss the pig" raffle (with people buying tickets for others mostly).
Entertainment - here a talented young folk violinist.
Exhibits - a great variety of categories including large school exhibits.
