The one day fair held on the forth Saturday in August has events all day starting with a pancake breakfast followed by a parade that circles the Cobble Hill Hall and grounds. Blacksmith demos, sheepdog trials, livestock shows, craft and produce exhibits, vintage farm machinery, kids games, a horse show, regular and miniature, 4-H animals and livestock auction are just part of the all-day entertainment, that & much more.
Celebrating agricultural and farm life is the drive behind this fair with demonstrations of blacksmithing,
logging, harvesting and showing prize animals.
This year a Sheep (& Duck) Dog Trials Demo was at the Fair. It was a very hot day for the dogs but they put
on a good show for the crowd.
The theme this year: "Tractors Pushing Agriculture Forward" had some really nice vintage machinery on display It was also John Deere's 75th anniversary adding to the fair.
At 92 Margaret Baird has been organizing the fair for the last 59 years, now her 62-year-old son, George Baird,
the president of the Shawnigan-Cobble Hill Farmers' Institute and Agricultural Society, also organizes the event.
