JULY 24th to JULY 29th
The Prince Albert Exhibition Association proudly presents the new and improved 112th Edition of the Annual Summer Fair. The Grandstand will have a paved walkway and paved area for wheelchair patrons. There's new paving South of Barn #1, the Light Horse Ring has a new fence and a new cattle shed was built for the large livestock entry. There are new livestock shows, an exciting Midway featuring a new amusement ride "Zendar", a High Dive Show and all the old favourites will be back too. It looks like another great year for the Prince Albert Exhibition Association. But then, nothing can beat a tradition of doing things right!
