Presidents Message

Welcome Back!!!

On behalf of the New Liskeard Agricultural Society, I would like to welcome you back onto the fairgrounds to attend our 122nd New Liskeard Fall Fair. The New Liskeard Fall Fair is one of Northern Ontario’s largest fairs featuring three action packed days of agricultural activities, animal shows, entertainment and many other attractions.

Come and visit our homecraft, horticulture and junior sections, featuring many exhibits showcasing local talent. Check out the livestock rings and barns to see light and draft horse shows, beef, dairy, sheep & goat classes as well as the poultry and small animals section. Our education tent features many agricultural awareness displays. You won’t want to miss the local entertainment, midway, and the concessions.

Without the help from our volunteers and sponsors our event would not be possible. The support of our generous community year after year has helped the New Liskeard Fall Fair grow into what it is today.

Learn, Laugh, Share, Grow!

Leslie Bowman
