About: “Look to our Future”
The Peterborough Exhibition will soon take over Morrow Park for the 166th edition. As we celebrate our 166th year we are looking to our future but still getting back to our down home roots and presenting many traditional favourite events. We are pleased to welcome World’s Finest Shows back with a midway that will bring smiles to faces of children of all ages.
As we look to our future we will present several livestock shows including, our prize winning poultry show, our excellent display of sheep and goats, the constantly growing saddle horse show, and of course our Peterborough County Holstein Show and Ontario Commercial Horse Association Regional Show. As always we expect the calibre of livestock exhibited at the Peterborough Exhibition to be second to none. The homecraft exhibits, which include baking, arts, crafts and photography will be displayed in the Gymnastics building for all ages to see.
Along with the tradition favourites, you will also see many new and exciting events this year. “Little Ray” is back to present his “Great Reptiles of the World” exhibit. As always you will learn about modern day ruling reptiles. You will also be able to interact with these giant reptiles. The “Hot Diggity Dogs Flyball Club” will be a new event this year. This club shows off the agility of many different breeds of dogs. Each of these shows is fast-paced, fun and interactive relay race. Each dog is expected to complete tasks while jumping over jumps and holding a ball in their mouth.
After you have enjoyed a full day of events be sure to visit our grandstand and take in the truck and tractor pull or the bone crushing excitement of the Ontario Demolition Derby. Another new event, the Demo Cross will take place on Sunday in front of the grandstand. This event is similar to a demolition derby but look out you may just see a car flip over. Be sure to arrive early or you might not get a seat!!
I look forward to presenting the 166th Peterborough Exhibition while we “look to the future” of a longstanding family tradition. Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers, sponsors and spectators for their continued support.
