A different show every day WELCOME to “the best little country fair!” – It’s more than you think!! On behalf of the Abbotsford Agrifair Board of Directors and staff, it is my great pleasure to invite you to one of the greatest and most beloved annual summer traditions for families in the Fraser Valley and beyond. The Abbotsford Agrifair and Mighty Fraser Rodeo, returning for the 104th year on August 1-4, 2014, is a four-day, fun-filled event that bridges the gap between “urbanites” and “ruralites.” Our goal with the fair has always been to execute an event that surpasses expectations and satisfies the diverse interests of the public with affordable fun for the entire family. This year is no exception. With all the great shows, concerts and amazing attractions, it’s a different show every day! Don’t miss a beat with our $15 all-weekend wristband, ERNIE SILVERI, PRESIDENT, and watch a ABBOTSFORD AGRIFAIR different show every day. Special must-see events include the Valley Voices Vocal Competition finals performances, Audio Adrenaline, the Demolition Derby, The Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo, the Strathcona Mounted Troop and of course, the famous West Coast Amusement midway. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the City of Abbotsford for its strong and continuous support, and thank you to our guests from all across the province and country, as well as our sponsors and committed volunteers. To those who are coming back to take in all of the action of the fair again this year, and to the newcomers who will be joining the festivities for this first time, we can hardly wait to celebrate and make great memories with all of you.

One of many action-packed family events at Agrifair Are you ready for an action-packed, full-contact, smashing show that will get your adrenaline pumping? Then the Demolition Derby at Agrifair is just the lively event for you and your family. Due to the huge success of this event last year, it’s back for another year of combat and we’ve added a second performance. The Demolition Derby will include a variety of races and wreckage for your entertainment. In these high power races, drivers must out-manoeuver one another by racing forward, backward, around, or over top of multiple obstacles. Also returning this year is the mini van demolition race, which guarantees jaw-dropping entertainment. Kids will enjoy the high energy and huge collisions, while adults will appreciate the skillfulness and courage of these experienced drivers. This has truly been a family affair for veteran of the Derby Ross Edwards. Ross

! r i a f Agri

began racing at 15 years old, and kept the tradition alive with his children, nephews and grandchildren all continuing to participate in the sport. “We have always placed a high priority on making the Demolition Derby a family fun event and ensuring that each fan out there is enjoying themselves,” said the retired racer. He guarantees this year’s event will include all of the same hitting, passing, slamming, banging and racing that fans have adored for years. A number of Ross’ family members will be directly involved in the Demolition Derby this year, with some of the older generations racing in show and the younger ones helping with demonstrations. Ross’ grandchildren, although not racing at Agrifair, plus other children aged 5-16 of the Quarter Midget Class of racers, will be on-site to give motorsport demonstrations and bring more aware-

ness to the exciting sport. During each show, children can look forward to prizes being distributed throughout the audience. Also, immediately after each Derby, spectators are welcome to come down to check out the cars and meet the brave and talented drivers. These driver will be happyto have their picture taken and answer any questions about the races and the sport. In an exciting addition to this year’s Agrifair the Demolition Derby has moved out of the dirt-covered rodeo arena for the first time, and into its own paved stadium – the Capt’n Crunch Motorsports Arena. The hour and a half show, sponsored by Playtime Chances Abbotsford Casino, will take place on Sunday and Monday at 3:00pm. Be sure to get there early to guarantee the best seats in the house!

Native of Chilliwack, BC, Barton grew up singing and playing the electric guitar, bass, drums and piano. During his time spent at Portland Bible College getting his bachelor’s degree in church music, he discovered a love for song writing and wrote, engineered and produced two praise and worship albums. With the sweet sounding and beautifully written All For You, Barton is sure to set the tone for a night of enjoyment and enlightenment.

Guaranteed fun with fair four-day pass – ONLY $15 at the gate

Strathcona Mounted Troop It’s fun for the entire family at Thunder Bowl, where everyone gathers daily to watch the 17 man musical ride, the Strathcona Mounted Troop. This talented group is based out of the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Edmonton, the fascinating musical ride is comprised of three different portions: the cavalry drills, the mounted arms tent-pegging display and the musical ride itself. Witness an important part of Canadian history and enjoy a colourful, musical and active display with the Strathcona Mounted Troop’s truly exciting mixture of equine skill and military precision. Comprised of horses and 17 Royal Canadian soldiers dressed in period uniform, the troops will perform a 45-minute musical ride, including a tent-pegging demonstration, each day throughout the

long weekend to commemorate their national military heritage and cavalry traditions. All elements are set to music, both contemporary country and rock as well as traditional military songs.

Today, All members of the Strathcona Mounted Troop are full-time serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces and are part of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians).

The Troop performs at every major Spruce Meadows tournament in a variety of roles including: musical ride performances, parades, vedettes, honour guards, and the escorting of various VIPs, including numerous Lieutenant Governors as well as the Chief of Defense Staff.

This regiment of cowboys and frontiersmen fought bravely on horseback in several small and bloody battles throughout the South African Boer War, with many members hired as scouts due to their background. As the Second World War approached in 1939, the Strathcona Mounted Troop were disbanded and replaced by heavy armored cavalry.

The Strathcona Mounted Troop originally formed by Donald Smith (Lord Strathcona and Mounted Royal) in the year 1900, was a regiment of cavalry consisting of Canadian cowboys and frontiersmen as well as members of the North West Mounted Police.

In order to preserve its history and keep tradition alive, the current ceremonial Strathcona Mounted Troop (formed in 1977) perform at various fairs and rodeos throughout the country each year.

Six finalists have been selected from two categories, Junior (seven to 12 years) and Senior (13 to 18 years). The talented finalists are Jada Klein, Caitlin Canning, Nicki Meier, Madison Bell, Ruby Bruce and Jada McKenzie Moore. “Our six finalists will perform two songs with a house band before a panel of expert judges and the audience,” said Angela Harris, with Fair Wend Entertainment Services. “The songs are selected by the finalists, ranging from a wide genre from Pop to R&B to Blues to Country.” 2014 is the most successful year to date for VVVC, when it comes to finding talent from all across the province, some of the most talented singers will be competing for the title. With the help of the audience reactions, the celebrity judges will choose this year’s star, based on their vocal skills, song choice, look, performance and audience reaction.

With his extensive rodeo experience, knowledge of the sport and witty personality, Parsons will ensure there isn’t a dull moment.

Whether you’re an old hat or trying out a new pair of cowboy boots, you’re bound to have fun. The rodeo clown is the perfect co-host to professional award-winning rodeo announcer, and former professional cowboy, Al Parsons.

“Being a rodeo cowboy, I know what it takes to bring enthusiasm and joy into the arena,” says Parsons. “The cowboys feel encouraged as they call for the gate or nod for their calf. The knowledge, dynamic, humorous speaking I bring will keep you smiling. Being happy and enthusiastic is always the best choice, and that’s what I give and bring to each rodeo.” Rodeo Chair Don Curtis is also looking forward to this year’s thrilling events, revealing that “we have a great show planned this year, with lots of fun and excitement to be expected”. Curtis also explains that fairgoers will be able to see some of the top animals in the west.

Magnuson has a wheely cool show The exclusive Wheely Cool Show sponsored by Magnuson Ford is set to be the hottest spot at this year’s Abbotsford Agrifair. The Wheely Cool Show will host three themed exhibits: pre-1972 classics and hot rods on Saturday, Service on Safety on Sunday and Anything Cool on Wheels on Monday.

equipped rides. Don’t miss the Fire Department’s two “Jaws of Life” extraction demonstrations. You can also meet the talented bomb squad dogs on SOS day. These friendly canines are trained to protect our community and help in the event of an emergency.

On Saturday, the area will feature some of the best custom-built cars, including pre-1972 classics and hot rods from dozens of proud collectors, and is already anticipating large crowds, especially with such huge prizes at stake. This dazzling display will appeal to both car enthusiasts and new fans alike. With a $1,000 first place People’s Choice Award, a second place $750 prize, and a third place $500 prize, this is not an event to be missed.

Wrapping up the Magnuson Wheely Cool Show will be the Anything Cool on Wheels spectacle on Monday, August 4th. This exhibit encompasses Vancouver Tumblebus, Science World, Library Live, Creative Cube, Fosters Street Team, custom built cars, a 50th anniversary tribute to Mustangs and much more. A special addition to this year’s Anything Cool on Wheels will be the feature car – a newly restored 1967 Ford Mustang T5, which is guaranteed to impress even the toughest critic.

On Sunday, fair attendees can look forward to the Service on Safety (SOS) Day, where Abbotsford Fire and Ambulance will be on site chatting and showing off their official rigs. This is your chance to thank our fearless community heroes and get a peak inside their well-

These beauties will definitely make you appreciate the challenge of maintaining vintage vehicles. With so much to offer on all four days, make sure to purchase a weekend pass at a reduced rate and don’t let this sensational car show opportunity slip away.

Love your countertop

New Cone Zone tests your road safety skills A new and educational attraction to grace the Agrifair grounds this BC Day long weekend is the Cone Zone, a safely marked go-kart track where youth can put their driving skills to the test. Those ages 10-16 can attempt to expertly manoeuver their go-karts as they are guided through a road course with detoured areas, while avoiding traditional work zone hazards like trucks, cranes and cones. The younger children will be suited-up with all the coolest protective gear like hard helmets, safety vests and stop signs to get in the spirit of things. Adults too

can get involved in the fun by challenging themselves in a 3D work zone simulator. The Cone Zone program was initiated by the Work Zone Safety Alliance with sponsorship from WorkSafeBC, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and the Justice Institute of British Columbia, to educate the public on the dangers of working in roadside locations. Since 2004, there have been 239 injuries reported in actual roadside worksites, and 15 deaths. By publicizing these alarming statistics and providing a safe place to teach

youth proper driving techniques, the campaign is hoping to bring awareness to drivers to take every precaution when entering work zones in their vehicles. With the motto “Cone Zone = Slow Down”, this informative attraction is sure to provide safe entertainment and ample amounts of fun during the fair. All are welcome to visit, as there will be demonstrations, activities and Cone Zone themed circuits that will appeal to current and future drivers of all ages.

Dance and sing along to chart-topping records by storm as this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. On February 9th, 1964, the Beatles, with their Edwardian suits and mop top haircuts, made their first American television appearance live on The Ed Sullivan Show.

A diverse selection of musical talent will take to Agrifair’s main stage this year. Tribute bands will have guests singing along to the standout hits of the 50s and 60s and British Columbia based group, Me and Mae, will bring their country vibe and killer vocals. Also, the Valley Voices Vocal Competition is returning to the Agrifair to celebrate Canada’s rising stars. To kick off Friday evening, tribute concert by Totally Tom Petty and the Women of Rock - comprised of tributes to Deborah Harry of Blondie, Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders - will entertain with an evening of nostalgia and excitement as some of the world’s greatest record-breaking songs are performed. Think Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me with your Best Shot,” Stevie Nicks’ “Gypsy,” Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and much more. Performing as Tom Petty, Phil Dunget is the host, lead guitarist and lead vocalist for Totally Tom Petty and the Women of Rock. He is a dynamic showman, powerful lead singer and master guitar shredder. Accompanied by drummer Randal Von UuberGruuv, who is a percus-

A record setting 73 million people tuned in that evening making it one of the seminal moments in television history. Fifty years later, people still remember exactly where they were the night The Beatles stepped onto Ed Sullivan’s stage.

sive anchor and half of Totally Tom’s rhythm section, this duo, paired with the Women of Rock, make for a hit band that’ll have you dancing the night away. Paying tribute to one of the most celebrated and legendary entertainers of all time, vocalist Steve “Elvis” Elliott will take the main stage on Saturday with iconic songs that’ll have you rockin’ to the beat. Steve Elliott has his Elvis impression down to a tee with the smooth voice and slick style that made the great rocker so recognizable in the 50s and 60s.

Steve will be crooning through the ballads and rockabilly hits, and is ready to shake things up at the fair. Full of raw energy, witty humour and that undeniable charisma that took the Beatles from the Cavern Club in Liverpool and propelled them to super stardom, and performing at Agrifair on Saturday, the Fab Fourever, Canada’s Beatles tribute band, will transport you back to the 60s – a time when the music was a soundtrack to a generation. It is the perfect time to kick back and enjoy tunes that took the world

Brought to you by Columbia Cabinets - Countertops and Fraserway RV, Audio Adrenaline, the popular Christian rock band, is making a much-anticipated appearance on Sunday. Formed in the 1980s at Kentucky Christian University in Grayson, Kentucky, this band has already received two Grammy Awards and multiple Dove Awards showing no sign of slowing down. Don’t miss the final musical performance on Monday as the finalists of the Valley Voices Vocal competition take the stage. There will be six finalists that will be vying to please the crowd and win the votes of celebrity judges.

Lots of fun animal entertainment and educational opportunities at Agriland! What does everyone want to see at the fair? Animals of course! So be sure to spend some time at Agriland and check out the entertaining shows, educational demonstrations and 4H competitions!

More fun for the little ones This year, there are plenty of kid-friendly attractions to keep the youngsters busy. Richard’s Racing Pigs and Ducks is returning once again to the Fair, where there will be three opportunities each day to catch all the action of the fun, feisty, lovable animals. New to the scene, Bill Beaulieu, has a lot in store for the races. There will be two races per show, with faster and more adorable pigs in each heat. Millionaire Paintball and Mini-Golf also return providing the perfect opportunity for some family friendly competition. New this year is local talented face painter Jeannie Savard posing as a pirate with a 16-foot façade side of a pirate ship. For those between the ages of 10 and 16, the Cone Zone Go-Kart circuit is a fun and

interactive road safety education initiative. The themed go-kart circuit resembles a real-world roadside work zone. The next generation of young drivers get the unique and fun opportunity to test out their skills and get informed as they make their way through the course, passing life-sized road maintenance vehicles, equipment, cones, traffic control personnel, directions and more.

There’s no place better for kids to burn off some excess energy then the Tumblebus gym on wheels. This mobile gym is filled with fun equipment such as monkey bars, balance beam, trampoline, rings, zip line and much more. This kid-focused feature offers parents a quick break while their kids

use up their energy learning new tumbling moves. Tumblebus is for walking toddlers and children up to 9 years old.

The fun and hilarious character Chuck n Chicken will be roaming the fairgrounds. Elvis’s distant cousin, Elmo Presley will also be onsite throughout the fair. Visitors can count on running into these roving comedians, putting on a show of hilarious jokes, songs and gags all weekend long. Also be sure not to miss out on Mike the Reptile Guy from the Rescue and Education Centre in Abbotsford who will be bringing along some interesting critters from his collection of snakes, lizards, turtles and amphibians. He will also be doing educational seminars three times daily in the Marketplace.

“Rabbit Agility” is a must-see on Saturday, August 2rd and Sunday, August 3th as well-trained bunnies hop over appropriately-sized obstacles with direction from their enthusiastic handlers. There are loads of opportunities to learn about animals as demonstrations, including horseshoeing, sheep shearing, rabbit agility, Mobile Dairy Classroom cow milking and rabbit handling, take place throughout all four days. Watch baby chicks hatch right before your eyes inside an incubator in the Poultry Barn! You will also see many different varieties of chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons. If you are excited to witness eggs turn to chicks, you will also want to check out the different stages of growth in the BC Poultry in Motion Barn. See the difference between one day old chicks, 4-8 week old chicks and adult breeders. There is lots to see and lots to do at Agriland so be sure to stop by and spend some time with all the farm animals, learn about them and at the same time enjoy some fun entertainment!

See what’s cookin’ with Chef Dez

Horses of all shapes & sizes! The fair also offers the opportunity for breeders, farmers, and horse lovers from all over to take part in a variety of competitions. Exhibitors will display and show their animals for the duration of the fair! Classes include the Open Horse Pleasure Driving and Versatility Driving which can be seen in the Agrifair Arena on Sunday at 10:30am! The “Dogwood Donkey Show” and “Miniature Horse Show” display a wide variety of skills including inhand competitions where animals are tested on their ability to manoeuver through and over various obstacles. They will encounter bridges, tarps (simulating water obstacles) and tippy boards being judged on the animal’s willingness to go through the obstacles. Each obstacle is judged out of 10. The highest score overall wins! Other fun entertainment includes the “Country Horse Classic” in the

Agrifair Arena between 1:00pm and 4:00pm daily including the prestigious “Six Horse Hitch”! Feel the earth rumble as teams of massive and majestic Clydesdale and Belgian draft horses stomp into the arena pulling large, heavy wagons in the “Six-Horse Hitch”. This event is the most prestigious draft horse event on the continent! Teams will be judged on their horses, harness, wagon, driver, performance and overall eye appeal. Another can’t miss event is the “Draft Horse Pull” - an event where teams of draft horses pull weighted sleds around the arena. The weight is gradually increased and the team which pulls the heaviest amount is the winner. Have you ever heard of “Campfire, Dinner Bell or Wheelbarrow” races? If you have you’ll know how entertaining they are and if you

haven’t you need to come and see for yourself. In the “Campfire Race”, two heats of 4 riders on horses will book it from one end of the arena to the other. Then they must jump off their steed, take all the tack off and scramble into a sleeping bag! Whoever is the quickest is the winner. The “Wheelbarrow Races” are like chariot races, but instead of a chariot, horses will pull a one-wheeled wheelbarrow with a cowboy inside holding the reins. They will race around the arena. The first team across the finish line wins. Lastly, be sure not to miss the “Horse and Hound” competition! The arena will be set up in multiple obstacles in which one after another handlers will bring their horses and hounds through. This timed event is sure to get everyone excited! Make sure to be there to cheer on your favourite pair!

Learn how to cook gourmet dishes from professional Chef Dez, a certified Red Seal chef, who will be performing a fun, informative and high-energy series of fifteen live cooking shows at the outdoor cooking stage over the long weekend along with special guest chefs. As always, the shows will be full of enthusiasm and will give you some great ideas to transform your meals at home. Chef Dez will be cooking up a storm with local ingredients and mouth-watering dishes including Creole halibut BBQ pouches, fiery Asian grilled pork chops, Greek lamb burgers, grilled Philly cheesesteaks, Mediterranean pasta with grilled chicken and pineapple muesli yogurt parfaits. Recipes will be available for guests to take home. This is Chef Dez’s 11th year at Agrifair, and he never disappoints. His passion for people

and food makes his shows entertaining, enjoyable and educational. Inspiring people to be a little more adventurous with their food choices and cooking styles, Chef Dez urges guests to participate and learn from him. “One of the most wonderfully appealing aspects of food is creating, and eating, something completely delicious,” he says. “Even if you are not the culinary type that craves to unleash your cooking talents in the kitchen, you are still capable of appreciating a recipe just by tasting it.” Chef Dez will be putting on four shows daily on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and three shows on Monday. Make sure you stop by and see what’s cookin’! Look for him on the upper level between the Tradeshow building and Pioneer Corner.
