Powell River Fall Fair returns this September

Event features food and product booths, live entertainment and activities

Powell River Fall Fair has been part of the community “off and on” for 90 years and will be back in 2022 after a two-year pandemic hiatus, according to two of the organizers, Mark Gisborne and Juhli Jobi from Powell River Farmers’ Agricultural Institute.

This year the event is scheduled for September 24 and 25 “rain or shine, no matter what,” institute president Jobi told a recent meeting of Rotarians. “It’s an exhibition of all things local: grown, produced or made.”

In addition to food and product booths, there will be main stage entertainment and pony rides.

“Forestry Heritage Society will have trains running as well as hand carts that parents love to see their kids on to use up excess energy,” said Jobi.

Always the most popular attraction at the Fall Fair is the animal barn with livestock of different sizes.

Fair coordinator Gisborne said the group is looking for a coordinator for the exhibition barn that features baking, canning, paintings and fabric art, fresh vegetables and fruit, among other items. Entries are submitted the Friday before the fair begins so the volunteer needs to be available all that day.
