It is a beehive of activity behind the scenes with the Norfolk Agricultural Society right now as the clock ticks down to the Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show.
That was General Manager Angela Hogaeveen.
Each year, they see hundreds of people pass their the fairgrounds – for some it could be their 50th trips and for others it’s their first.
Either way, once you are there, you can’t escape that Norfolk County Fair feeling.
Hogeveen noted that they have volunteers each year who take time out of their Thanksgiving Day weekend to help out, something they are always appreciative for.
While they strive on tradition, they aren’t afraid to mix things up as well.
Speaking of a successful shake up, Hogeveen was pleased to see a change to their usual routine, bringing in rockband The Glorious Sons, was very well received selling out their trackside and VIP tickets.
When there isn’t the cheers of teens or the sounds of guitars, you’ll likely hear motors roaring in the evening as they continue to emphasis this kind of entertainment and bring in a wide audience.
As for Hogeveen, there are also a few new additions away from the grand stand she is happy about.
We will be talking more about Young Canada Day next week.
