Next Year is our 125th Parham Fair!
August 18th – 20th, 2017
We are already looking ahead to next year’s celebration. It will
be Canada’s 150th birthday and it will mark 125 years for the
Parham Fair. We’d like to create a Fair Museum to share our
community’s history through the many years of fair events. Do
you or your family have mementos, trophies, platters, pictures,
old movies, newspaper articles … that you could share?
Our plans include a display of items for viewing the fair
weekend as well as a compilation of photographs, old movies
and interviews on video as a special project. If you have
something you could contribute please contact Wendy
Parliament at [email protected] or 613-375-6443. She
would LOVE to hear from you!
We all remember Melville Good as ‘Mr. Parham Fair’!

Want to Help Out?
We could use someone, just like you! We are always

are a high school student with 40 hours of volunteer
time to fill. Please get in touch with Carol Wagar at
613-659-3315 or [email protected] to sign up.
If you have money, but not the time, and would like
to sponsor an event, class, or piece of

SPONSORS: Tryon Family Farm
CHILDREN 4 – 12 years of age
PRIZES: 1st Place Trophy 2nd through 6th place ribbons
MAIN RING 3:30 Saturday Afternoon
In this contest the children are
greased – not the pigs! Children dunk
their hands in a bucket of soapy water.
This makes it quite a challenge to get a
good hold of one of those little pigs. The
object of the contest is to be one of the
first three to deliver your pig to the centre
circle in the pig pen.
**No animals are hurt in this activity.
This type of pig chase goes on at the Tryon
family farm all the time.

CHILDREN’S PEDAL TRACTOR PULL
CHAIRPERSON: Annette Howes
SPONSORS: Hartington Equipment
Ford Lincoln
PRIZES – 1st Place Trophy
2nd-4th Ribbons
Verona Revell
Ages 4 – 12 years
Pedal Tractors supplied by the Parham Fair
Fun all day Saturday!
Finals at 4:30 in Main Ring
In the Pedal Tractor Pull youngsters try their hand (or should we say feet) at
pulling increasingly heavy sleds of weights. With each pull the competitors
distance is measured as that point at which they could pull no further or the
qualifying distance – whichever comes first. Prizes will be awarded
throughout the day for the heats. The top four competitors in each age
division will be invited to the final pull in the Main Ring at 4:30 on Saturday
afternoon.
RULES:
1. Throughout each pull competitors must have both hands on the wheel
and both feel on the pedals.
2. Competitors may not place their hand on the tractor tire at any time
during their pull to help increase their pulling distance.
3. There can be no loss of forward pressure. In other words competitors
cannot hesitate or absolutely never jerk the equipment. Jerking can be
grounds for a DQ.
4. Competitors must remain in the seat at all times. If a competitor lifts off
(losing contact with any part of or sliding over the back of) the seat the pull
will be stopped and their distance will be measured to that point.
5. All participants must be wearing shoes, no bare feet.
6. Any arguing with the officials by a competitor, parent, or guardian will
not be allowed and could result in disqualification of the contestant. If you
have a disagreement please talk to us after the pull in private. We will
display good sportsmanship in all cased and should that not be possible the
offender will be asked to leave. No one
is perfect, but we will handle things in
the proper way.
Although we KNOW that adults
would love this event as well
our tractors are a size that
limits us to offering this
competition to children only.
