Abbotsford – Agrifair is the place to be July 29th to 31st 2016.
“Abbotsford Agrifair” the name implies cows and tractors, which we are; however we are so much more! We are the new fair for the new millennial. Traditionally when people think of an agricultural fair they think animals, tractors and farmers. We have all that – but we have so much more for the everyday guest. And so much is NEW this year that should you think “I went last year, I don’t need to go again” we can only say – put that thought aside, open your mind and read this:
As you enter the fair you will be greeted by llamas, rabbits, donkeys, and maybe even a buffalo – not the fair you thought is it?
New this year is a Fraserway RV FREE family fun building. A place to get out of the heat but still stay on site, complete with a mothers/fathers room which will include FREE diapers, wipes and some water to wet your whistle and maybe even a melting down child’s whistle. This Family venue has only allowed a few specially selected vendors focusing on family and home life. Usborne books will be located by the literacy area, Epicure Selections and Partylite have wonderful home products for any generation. As well, Young Living Essential Oils, 2M Productions with jewelry and specialty felts for children, and other new vendors including Your Inspiration at Home! These are just a few of the family based vendors Agrifair has included in the family venue.
