Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline. The Drumbo Fall Fair has engaged children and adults throughout the years with foot races, games, livestock shows, and the baking competition. In the 1940s to the 1950s, the Drumbo Fall Fair incorporated the Blenheim Township School Fair, and since then the schools in the township contribute to a children's art display. There are many different activities that the fair has created and elaborated throughout the years. It has remained close to its original roots, with the small competitions between neighbours. Now there are over 100 different class sections for competition. These include the horse shows, 4-H, crops, arts and crafts, flowers, baking and more. Many events at the Fair celebrate and provide experiences with agriculture and family-farm traditions. Saturday and Sunday include horse shows, a beef show, Old McDonald's Farm featuring an exhibit of local farm animals, exhibition buildings and tents filled with hundreds of entries featuring home baking competitions, quilt and handicrafts, flowers, garden vegetables, grain and corn, antiques, photo contest and the largest exhibition is the children's tent, with ribbon winning entries from craft and baking creations, to junior farmers displaying their fruits and vegetables. The Baby Show brings babies from all around the local communities and the "Chip off the old Block" contest is where two family members enter who look similar to the one another. There is also live music and family entertainment. Each year, the fair chooses a theme for some elements of the fair, including the exhibit categories and entertainment. In 2011 the theme was locally produced food; in 2012 the fair introduced an amateur winemaking competition; and in 2013 the theme was "Homemade Pies and Family Ties!". In 2014 the theme "Cats and Dogs" led to dog agility shows, the Pet Show, and children's pet-related events. The fair runs on a "pay one price" model, with daily and weekend passes which include horse-drawn wagon rides, a playground formed from giant bales of hay and a candy toss. Each year the Fair selects an ambassador who represents Drumbo at the Canadian National Exhibition Ambassador of the Fair contest. References Solta, Debbie.
