And as event organizers like to say: “there will be something for everyone for enjoy.”

Events will begin with a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., sponsored by the Eyebrow and District Fire Protection Society.

One of the highlights of the fair is the Household Arts competitions, the department where the best apple pies, the smoothest stitches, the most intricate quilts are judged with bragging rights and some cash going to the winners. Eyebrow is one of the few fairs that has maintained this long-time, fair-related competition. Entries are to be delivered to the arena by 8:30 a.m. and judging will begin at 9 a.m. The display, including a penny parade, will open to the public at 1 p.m. Baked items are retained and entered in a silent auction. Proceeds will help produce the 2019 fair.

Horse enthusiasts will take to the ring at 9 a.m. with classes continuing throughout the day and numerous high point awards offered in various age groups. Bouncy castles for the children will be set up at 10 a.m. The slow pitch tournament also begins at 10 a.m. and continues during the day.

The concession stand will open at 10:30 a.m. and the seniors’ pie booth opens at 11 a.m. with homemade pies served while supplies last. Sour cream raisin is always one of the popular flavours.

Children’s chuck wagon races begin at noon. The refreshment gardens open at 12:30 p.m. The household arts displays, penny parade and silent auction tables will close at 4 p.m.

Children will be able to participate in a candy-in-thestraw activity from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

A full-course supper will be served at 5 p.m. with tickets available for purchase. The band, Neon Blue, will begin music at 8 p.m. and a fireworks display is scheduled for 11 p.m. to conclude this year’s fair. Copies of the Eyebrow prize and events program are available by calling 306-631-8317 or 306-690-2852.
