The community of Carberry and the surrounding area all are set to come together this weekend for the 138th Annual Fair and Races.
Starting Friday with the 4-H Beef Show at 3:00 p.m., chuckwagon races wrap up the three-day event starting at 4:00 on Sunday afternoon. Chariot races take place at 6:30 on Friday and at 7:00 on Saturday morning, there is a pancake breakfast which is put on by the local legion.
Alan Christison is president of the event and he says what makes the three days special is the fact that everyone comes together to smile and have fun.
"We also want to thank our amazing sponsors, they allow us to keep the fair as affordable as possible," said Christison. "We also couldn't do it without our amazing volunteers, they do so much to help make the event run smoothly."
Event organizers are also very excited to announce the return of the 'Ranch Rodeo'. After a 10-year hiatus, the fan-favourite event will return on Saturday at 3:30 and again on Sunday morning at 10.
The Matt Zimmerband Band will also be performing on Saturday night at 8:30. There will also be concessions, beer gardens, a baby animal display, and the lemonade train that will be open all weekend long.
"Regardless of what age you are, there is something for everyone," said Christison. "We actually have a group from Edmonton that is coming in to perform for the kids which is very exciting and we know they're going to love it."
