In 2014, our 101st Annual Coombs Fair will be held on August 9th and 10th. This year, we'll be celebrating all things PIG, so get ready to squeal for glee and have a sooey-t time!

First held in 1913, the Coombs Fair has been celebrating agriculture in Oceanside for 100 years! Come check us out and join in the excitement of our annual community fair.

Visit any number of fair exhibits, from animals classes through domestic science, horticulture and arts & crafts, with categories for all ages. Enter that prized homemade jam, show off your flair with cake decorating, try out a new craft, grow the prettiest flower, there are plenty of choices!

Wander through our animal barns, learn about 4-H skills, pet the bunnies, chickens, and more. Special events unique to our fair include a wacky gardening hat contest, chicken and duck races, and demonstration garden. Fair entry books are available at locations throughout the district, by calling 752-9757 or via download from our www.coombsfair.com.

As the first fair of the season and one of the largest 4-H shows on Vancouver Island, our fair is often the first opportunity for many 4-H members to display their projects and sharpen their skills before entering other fairs. There are also many classes for youth who are not involved in 4-H programs. Fair participants come from across Vancouver Island, from Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Courtenay, Campbell River, Duncan, Saanich and Victoria.

ADMISSION:
Entry is by paid daily admission, two-day pass, 4-H member/leader wristband, or Association membership card.

You'll find us on Ford Road in downtown Coombs, turn at the Coombs General Store.
