DARRELL NESBITT/CROSSROADS THIS WEEK
Over two days of the August long weekend, the Birtle Agricultural Society held its 142nd annual Fair, which offers something for all ages, including the popular heavy horse show. In the Single Horse Tandem Class on Aug. 2, the entry of Wallace Clydesdales of Dauphin achieved first place status. Small town fairs are a social gathering like no other, as dedicated volunteers and the entire community come together to celebrate agricultural traditions.
