Lower attendance:

This year’s attendance was not as strong as in previous years. The weather was cool, and this last weekend of September was a later than usual time slot (dependent on availability of the midway rides).

As well, with the current provincial election going on many people are out at events and door-knocking. Or perhaps this was a camping weekend at summer’s end. Last weekend there was a big turnout for

The Langford Station event with live entertainment and many food trucks which may have maxed-out the party-going mood of Langford locals.

Rides and agricultural displays:

There were midway rides and games, activities like milling Grain into Flour, displays of blacksmithing and Antique Farm Equipment, a large operational miniature Trains display, and apple cider making.
