Bridge Lake Fair (BLF) is excited to announce that, in addition to Hattie & Amos’ fun kids’ stuff, they will have the magical illusions of Jesaja Class, who hails from Nemaiah Valley. One of Jesaja’s earliest professional appearances was at the Canada Day celebrations at Interlakes Corner in 2014. No one who saw him there has ever forgotten.
The Bridge Lake Fair is slated for Aug. 20-21.
The Driving Horse Competition will be at Interlakes Rodeo Grounds and the 7th Annual Interlakes Show ’n Shine will be at Interlakes Community Centre (ICC).
Quilting competition
Quilters are invited to submit one (only) entry in the Log Cabin Quilters’ (LCQ) Challenge, themed “My Cariboo.” Quilts may be any shape, but must be made by that entrant and no larger than 36” square. This is a People’s Choice competition, which awards no points. Instead, the winner will receive a $50 Dancing Quilts gift certificate donated by LCQ.
The competitor who earns the most points overall receives the Grand Aggregate Trophy and an additional $50, up from $25 in previous years.
Best of Show winners in sections for Garden Fruits & Vegetables, Preserving, Rugs & Quilts and Wine & Beer will have their names added to the permanent trophies, and receive a $25 gift certificate. Hi-Point winner of the students’ section will receive a plaque. BLF’s 2022 Roving Trophy will go to Best of Show photograph. Entry booklets will be available in late May.
