Virtual Cobble Hill Fair
W
hen the pandemic forced the Cobble Hill Farmers Institute, and others, to cancel their community events last year, we did not think Covid-19 would still be with us in 2021. But, here we are! The virus seems to be on the decline and some restrictions lifted, but due to the event planning necessary to host a Fair, the112th Cobble Hill Fair will be held virtually again this year. Last year’s Virtual Fair had almost half the entries of a traditional Fair. The pictures submitted electronically were viewed by hundreds, and some very spectacular pictures were included. Thanks to our very generous sponsors we were able to offer prize money to winners in the children and youth categories. To view the entry categories for 112th Cobble Hill Virtual Fair go to our website at https:// cobblehillfair.ca and click on the 2021 Virtual Fair Catalogue and Registration tab then scroll down to the Catalogue Download button. Entries can be submitted from August 1st to August 25th after which all entries will be judged and place
on the website on August 28, 2021. Sponsors will be added to our catalogue after June 15th and before it is printed. The Farmers Institute is also hosting a ‘Day of Celebration’ on the date of our traditional Fair - Saturday, August 28th. The day will start with South Cowichan Rotary’s World Famous Pancake Breakfast, a Show & Shine and with a family concert starting at 10 a.m. and running until 4 or 4:30 p.m. And, there is no entry fee! We envision August 28th 2021 to be a day of community celebration where we will also be marking the milestone 100th Anniversary of the Cobble Hill Hall’s existence. As the cornerstone of the Cobble Hill Village for a century, the hall was built by early settlers to the South Cowichan area who believed that a large central gathering place was necessary to build a prosperous and thriving community. The hall has always been run and maintained entirely by dedicated volunteers who also see the value of ‘community building.’ Written by Gerry Giles
