SOUTH SHORE EXHIBITION

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2019

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE On behalf of the board of directors, management and staff, I would like to extend a sincere and warm welcome to the thousands of guests, exhibitors and tourists attending the 128th year of the South Shore Exhibition.

Again, this season we have worked hard to improve our infrastructure.

Electrical upgrades to the trailer park will be a welcomed improvement for all those guests spending the week.

A special thanks to the volunteers who assisted us on our workday painting around the grounds.

Without the generous donations of paint and supplies from a variety of businesses and individuals, this would not have been possible.

This year, the Pepsi Grand Street Parade has a shorter route along York Street. This change came about because of requests from participants, especially the walking groups who found the hills exceptionally difficult.

Hopefully, this will make it more enjoyable for all.

As always, we have a great lineup of entertainers playing on the DeMone Monuments main building stage, along with entertainment on the main entertainment stage, which is located in our Plaza B Show Ring.

Our Saturday night entertainment features CCMA’s 2018 Songwriter of the Year, Aaron Goodvin.

On Thursday evening, don’t miss Lunenburg County’s own The Bluegrass

CONTRIBUTED

On behalf of the Town of Bridgewater, my colleagues on town council, our staff, our residents and our local business community, I want to officially welcome you to the 2019 South Shore Exhibition!

This year, the Big Ex is marking its 128th anniversary and we are proud that this important connection to our local agricultural heritage is still such a vibrant part of our community today.

The Big Ex board of directors has worked hard to plan an exciting experience for all exhibition patrons in 2019 and the theme, Summer Sun & Country Fun, is reflective of the full slate of fun events and the kind of great live entertainment for which the exhibition is famous.

Serving the South Shore & Surrounding Areas

Hello, everyone! As mayor of the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg, I’d like to welcome you to the 2019 Big Ex. This annual event highlights our rich agricultural and resource sectors by showcasing what the South Shore and Lunenburg County have to offer.

This year’s event might be the best yet, with incredible live entertainment, brand-new activities and some classic events, too.

The Traveling Milburys, billed as the “world’s greatest tribute” to the Traveling Wilburys, are sure to rock your world. And, as always, you’ll get to witness some of the best horse and livestock displays in the province. From local vendors to the petting barn, the

Big Ex has it all. There’s plenty of fun here for all ages.

This year’s theme is Summer Sun & Country Fun and there is no better way to celebrate the season than with one of the best community events the South Shore has to offer.

On behalf of the council, staff and residents of the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg, I want to thank all those who make the Big Ex possible and to wish them another fun-filled and successful year.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Big Ex. Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson Municipality of the District of Lunenburg

MARITIME BARREL RACING ASSOCIATION TUESDAY, JULY 23, AND WEDNESDAY, JULY 24 ATLANTIC WELDING JUBILEE SHOW RING

Great partnerships deliver great results.

Just as a great horse and rider combination lead to great performances, the partnership between the Maritime Barrel Racing Association (MBRA) and Ram Trucks has proven to be a real winner. Since their humble start in 1985, they have grown from 12 to more than 120 members. The MBRA provides speed events where youth, beginner and novice riders can compete alongside world champions.

If you love speed, excitement and horses, we welcome you to get involved in the MBRA. Barrel racing is a timed rodeo event, where the fastest time is what matters most. Cowgirls and cowboys compete in the arena against each other and the clock. You’ll see Eastern

Canada’s top barrel racing horses and riders compete for the title of the 2019 Ram Rodeo Barrel Racing Champion!

Goodvin’s current hit is called Bars & Churches and can be heard right now on radio stations across the country.

As Goodvin has become one of the most talked about names on the Canadian country music scene, he has also developed an outstanding reputation around his live shows, proving his ability to light up the stage and truly connect with his audience while delivering a dynamic, show-stopping

South Shore Exhibition on Saturday, July 27, on our main entertainment stage at 9 p.m.

THE TRAVELING MILBURYS George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan — a.k.a. the Traveling Wilburys. There’s never been a group — let alone super group — in rock history quite like it.

They created two mega albums and launched a slew of hits in the late ’80s and early ’90s, capped with a Grammy win in 1989. But one thing they didn’t do is tour — that is, until now!

The Traveling Milburys capture the raw talent, excitement and magic of the Traveling Wilburys for all to see and

experience live on stage at the Big Ex! The band features all the hits of the Traveling Wilburys plus classics from each individual artist including The Beatles, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and ELO. From the opening chords to the final

encores of this energy-packed concert, you’ll know why this is without a doubt the world’s greatest tribute to the Traveling Wilburys.

You can see the Traveling Milburys perform on Friday, July 26, at 9 p.m. on the main entertainment stage.

DYNAMOS IN ACTION! THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

Whether you choose cremation or buria l, one of the main purposes of a funeral or other ceremony is that it recognizes someone’s life and makes real the fact that the life has ended. One should not try to avoid or escape death, but rather try to make the funeral as mean ingful and healing as possible.

We must recognize the fact that funer als are for the living; for those people who are suffering the loss of a loved one. It is through the funeral process that many emotional needs are met for those who are griev ing and also where the grieving process begins. We are comm itted to providing you with and encouraging the personaliza tion of services.

We’ll work together with you to create a tribute that is both memorable and comforting. Krista E. Corku m is a licensed embalmer and funeral director. Here at R.A. Corkum Funeral Home, we are proud to be a longtime Double Platinum spons spo orr of the South Shore Exhibition.

AWARD-WINNING COUNTRY SINGER KEVIN DAVISON TO PERFORM

IAN STEWART AT THE BIG EX Ian Stewart is not just a juggler and a magician. He has appeared on television in more than a dozen countries and has been featured in publications ranging from Popular Mechanics to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! He’s a seven-time Guinness World Record holder and he’s headed to Bridgewater to show off his skills.

His tricks involve such props as torches, Rubik’s Cubes, eggs, a lawn mower and his specialty of chainsaws that has gained him worldwide attention. Although he’s been a regular performer at the South Shore Exhibition for 20 years, he has some new tricks in his collection that will amaze you!

Truly Canadian Chainsaw Carvings is owned by Matthew Langille of Lawrencetown, N.S. The 31-year-old gained his inspiration from watching the show Carver Kings just three years ago.

Although his girlfriend challenged him saying that he couldn’t carve a bear, he proved her wrong the very next day by grabbing his chainsaw and a log and doing just that.

He has been carving ever since then and has created many pieces of art. You can find his creations on his Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TrulyCanadianChainsawCarvings/ or you can contact Matthew at 902-266-2127.

He will be performing two shows on Saturday in the main building at 3 p.m. and the second performance at 6 p.m. in the Plaza B Show Ring.

Canadian country music artist and ECMA award winner Kevin Davison has launched a country music career that is taking the industry by storm. Jumping into the music scene with both cowboybooted feet in 2009, Davison found himself in Nashville within a year. With a career as a paramedic in his small hometown of Kentville, N.S., Davison has dedicated his life to helping others while always carrying a tremendous passion for music.
