MP calls out OPP after doxxing incidents
Strong crowds at Petrolia Enniskillen Fair
September 9, 2013
The wrestlers were a popular attraction at this year’s Petrolia Enniskillen Fall Fair.
Organizers of the Petrolia Enniskillen Fall Fair are smiling today after strong attendance and record breaking entries for the 2013 edition.
President Judy Krall says the weekend started off with a bang as hundreds of people came out for the opening night. “Friday night was the shocker,” she says “the beer tent sold out by 10:30. How do you know? It’s so hard to predict the weather.”
Krall says there were a large number of parade entries and “there were a record number of 4H entries in the livestock divisions. That was kind of unusual.”
The demolition derby on Sunday also drew hundreds to the Petrolia fairgrounds. There were 33 entries this year.
Even Saturday’s rain didn’t dampen spirits. “I sat out in the rain watching the wrestlers,” says Krall “the bleachers were full. People didn’t care; they’d sit in the rain.”
