Atlantic Winter Fair Memories

Some treasures sent our way this week from another AWF collector - thanks Kevin D! Here are a few things from the first year of the AWF - 1963 and a plate from 1968.

I thought your followers might like this recent antique find at a local antique shop. Trophy from the 1968 Atlantic Winter Fair.

Thanksgiving weekend great weather and fall colors! Did it make you remember a favorite time at the AWF? 2020 has proven to be a difficult year in many ways. Exhibitions across the country had to make the hard decision to cancel all activities for the year. As we look to 2021, we hope that these organizations will be able to return and that the communities involved will support them in every way. Did you know that Hants County Exhibition celebrated their 255th year b...y going virtual? General Manager Lisa (Coombes) Hines and her committee did a fantastic job and if you visit the Hants County Exhibition FB page there are five videos up for viewing. The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto has also been hard at work creating a virtual showcase and some of the previews are most interesting. We would love to hear from you and send us your photos! The winter months give a little more time to post some memories to the sites. Stay strong, stay safe we will get through this pandemic!

A kind follower sent us this picture of a silver tray award found in the family home recently. Photography competition was a part of the AWF even in the early days!
