Wishing “the best little country fair” another successful year!

Message of Welcome from Mayor Braun On behalf of Abbotsford City Council, I’m pleased to welcome everyone to the 2019 Abbotsford Agrifair, “Where Memories are Made”.

Since 1911, memories have been made in Abbotsford at Agrifair, providing family fun to thousands in our community and those who come from afar. With interactive demonstrations, displays, competitions, rides and great entertainment, there is something for everyone to enjoy!

Each year, along with favourites from the past, there is always a new feature to look forward to, and this year is no exception. Come out and catch the excitement of the Truck & Tractor Pull, Tank Car-crushes, Pirates of the Fraser, Yule Kids trick riding, Laughing Loggers, and, my favourite, the 4-H competition!

Agrifair also provides our community with an excellent opportunity to showcase the important role agriculture plays in Abbotsford. With the richest and most productive agricultural land in Canada located just outside of our city’s urban core, our community is a hub for agriculture and agri-business. I am proud of this rich legacy and also excited to support our entrepreneurial, innovative agricultural community as it moves us into the future.

Along with extending a warm welcome to all fair-goers, I’d like to thank each exhibitor, participant, sponsor and volunteer for making Agrifair a success.

Agrifair is a place to build summer memories, and I’m certain you won’t want to miss the excitement! With different shows and events every day, this is a summer event to remember!

Wrestling at the Fair

Friday, July 26, 2019 A23

Over the years, this annual tradition has been one of the mainstay attractions at the Agrifair and has played host to some very exciting moments for wrestling fans.

Legends such as “Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart, “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Val Venis, Short Sleeve Sampson, and many more have been special guests in addition to a wide array of wrestling talent from all over the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

This year it has been announced that Davey Boy Smith Jr. –the reigning All Star Wrestling Trans-Canada Champion and son of the late British Bulldog – will headline the Friday and Saturday evening shows.

This will be the second appearance at the Agrifair for this internationally travelled star and is no doubt going to be a great addition to the festivities. Additionally, there will be meet-and-greet opportunities with Davey Boy during the first two days of the fair.

While the independent wrestling scene continues to rise in popularity with new promotions and promising up-and-comers breaking out regularly, “Wrestling at

the Fair” will continue to be an eclectic multi-promotional effort that features performers young and old that is a mustsee stop during Agrifair weekend.

Motorsports

Mike Democrat and Tim Flowers promise this year again you will not be disappointed. There are indie pro wrestlers from many different wrestling promotions, including ECCW, ICW, PPW, VIPW, Big West, 321 Battle, DEFY, and The Buddy Wayne Academy.

Back again, five times over the three Not for the faint of heart, Ross Edwards days, Northern Lights Motor Sports, promises the best show every day.

Shows include: demolition derby, a VIP race, ¼ midgets, midgets, mini stock Get your red neck on and your seat mini van, rollover show and – new this early. This show is standing room only. year – a Pink Lady show.

Congratulations to Abbotsford Agrifair 2019!

A big ‘thank you’ to everyone who made it possible!

It’s that time of year again when the Fraser Valley Antique Farm Machinery Association members are busy sprucing up the Pioneer Barn, the sawmill, and their collection of farming equipment in preparation for the 2019 Agrifair. During Agrifair, the Pioneer Barn will showcase an historic collection of farming equipment. Most of the unique collection has been donated to the club by local farmers and their pioneer families in order to preserve local farming history.
