The 2025 Carp Fair was a big success for us this year. We had beautiful weather and really big turn out of visitors to the fair. Our BBQ tent worked super hard and did an amazing job. We almost sold out our entire stock which is amazing feat. Our breakfast service is growing with each and every year we do it. We set a new record with by servicing 220 plates this year which was a 40 plate increase from last year.
This brings us to our newest event. The Carp Fair Curling and Cows bonspiel! It was huge success. With a full complement of 16 teams the ice was full from morning till night. We had great food served up by Toogood’s kitchen and fantastic music performed by Jaxstraw. Teams expressed how good the event was and that they had never participated in anything like it before. Teams competed for either the A or B championship all day Saturday and playoffs on Sunday. After much battling our own Team McLean came out on top to be the first champion of Carp Fair curling. We were proud to have Joyce Trafford come out from the fair board to present our winners with trophy. Our B champion was the Ian Biggs team out of the North Grenville curling club.
I would like to say a massive thank you to all our volunteers this year, without them we wouldn’t be able to do these events.
Presenters: Joyce Trafford, Cory Mundy
