Local Vibe

The Cambridge Fall Fair is literally just around the corner geographically for many of our readers, and for others it is still a reasonable reference as it is just around the corner in the sense of a time frame as well. In just 2 short weeks the the 171st Cambridge Fall Fair opens from September 9th to the 12th in Dickson Park, at Parkhill Road and George Street. The Cambridge Fall Fair is recognized as one of the oldest of such events celebrated annually in Ontario.
