CARP – As usual, there were a lot of great stories coming out of last weekend’s (Sept. 25 to Sept. 28) 162nd Carp Fair, but by far the most emotional and heartwarming was the return of 2025 President of Agriculture Kyle Rivington.

CARP – The 162nd Carp Fair finally arrives this week, and not only does it bring a lot of fun with it, it also does a lot of fundraising.

CONSTANCE BAY – While officially known as Bay Days, the one-day all ages event at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre packed enough fun in to Saturday (Sept. 13) festival organizers could have easily filled a whole weekend.
