Annual Brigden Fall Fair attracts thousands

Over 40,000 people walked through the gates at the Brigden Fall Fair over the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Spokesperson Dennis Robinson said Friday and Saturday were their busiest days.

"Country Roots and Rubber Boots brought 43,174 people to Brigden Fair for a fabulous Friday, a sensational Saturday, a soggy Sunday and messy Monday," said Robinson.

He said the attendance speaks for itself.

"People come back to Brigden to see what we're presenting to them and some of the other ones are struggling to keep it going," said Robinson. "So, we are very fortunate and appreciate the public coming to see what's happening in Brigden."

He said planning is already underway for the 175th edition of the annual event.

"Volunteers stayed last night (Monday) and we got quite a bit of teardown put away and then Tuesday is clean up, rearrange and start planning for next year, which is themed Homegrown, Homemade and Farm Fresh," said Robinson.

The annual Fall Demolition Derby at the Brigden Fairgrounds is on Saturday, October 19 at 1 p.m.

Registration opens at 9 a.m.
