Sooke Fall Fair back this weekend for 110th year

The fair expects to attract 4,000 visitors this year, on par with pre-pandemic numbers

 

 

Cheer on Sooke’s fastest zucchini, admire the scariest scarecrow, enjoy a pet parade or check out the vegetables, baked goods and needlecraft on display at the Sooke Fall Fair, in the Sooke Community Hall, Saturday and Sunday.

It’s the 110th year of the fall fair, a community tradition that continues to evolve, while still embracing the area’s agricultural roots.

 

Back in 1913, when the fair began, “they didn’t have gluten-free baked goods, no Lego or digital photographs,” said Ida McDonald, vice-president of the Sooke Fall Fair Association, which hosts the event.

 

Sooke residents can enter their produce and creative efforts in hundreds of categories, from baked goods to needlecraft, photography, stories or artwork, with 50 trophies and 300 other prizes up for grabs.
