President's Message
WELCOME TO THE 92ND ANNUAL BULKLEY VALLEY EXHIBITION!
Throughout this Prize Book you’ll find hundreds of fun, new and exciting contests and competitions for your entire family to enjoy. The Exhibition is always “Something To Crow About” and this year promises to be our best yet.
Our Children’s Divisions’ are a favourite in every household. They will be sure to spark your child’s imagination through crafts, baking and hobby making. For those animal lovers and agricultural enthusiasts, the Exhibition is proud to present new classes in the Beef, Dairy, Poultry and Rabbit shows. Be sure to enter in the “Chicken Herding Obstacle Course” competition, or be there in person to witness this new family favourite!
This year we’re excited to announce we are adding Quarter Horses to our light horse show—or if you prefer the gentle giants we also have entertaining new classes in the Draft Horse division.
On behalf of the entire Board of Directors of the Bulkley Valley Agricultural and Industrial Association, I hope you will enjoy competing in the Exhibition as it is you, the exhibitor, who truly makes our Fair ”Something To Crow About”.
See you at the Fair!
Lindsay Heer - President
Coordinator's Message
WELCOME TO THE 92ND ANNUAL BULKLEY VALLEY EXHIBITION.
Our Operations Team and Board of Directors are busy planning another exciting show for you. Many people volunteer many hours throughout the year to showcase our community. Our volunteers are certainly “Something to Crow About!” Interested in volunteering give our office a call or check us out at www.bvfair.ca. Without the support of our great volunteers we would not be able to present this great community event. Meet new friends, share your skills, feel a great sense of accomplishment for being part of 92 year tradition.
From eggs to draft horses and everything in between the BV Exhibition has something for everyone. Main stage concerts, Horse shows, Hall exhibits and the BCRA sanctioned Rodeo. Livestock shows, 4H auction and Logger sports and the exciting Shooting Star Amusements are all here at the BV Exhibition. The Prize Book is your peek into the competitions and shows that will be featured this year. Take a minute and browse through the many opportunities to show your stuff here at the fair. We are sure you have “Something to Crow About!” so plan to show this year.
Our sponsors are truly “Something to Crow About!” For many years the BV Exhibition has relied on the continued support of our local and regional sponsors. From individuals to corporations our sponsors generously provide financial and in-kind assistance each year. To each and every one of you Thank You!
