“ You dream... I deliver!”
By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star The 78th edition of the Navan Fair gets underway next Thursday, Aug. 7, with action on the midway and in the Navan Memorial Arena. In the evening, the demolition derby will be the scene of massive “car”-nage as six-cylinder vehicles go bumper-to-bumper for the honour of being this year’s champion. The fair will continue over the course of the weekend and will wrap up on Sunday with a performance by Slo Tom and The Handsome Devils, Hey Neighbour, and The County Lads. In between, there will be plenty to see and do for the whole family. A new addition to the fair this year is the
Pavilion. The 180’ x 85’ structure will allow for a number of activities to be held rain or shine. Highlights of this year’s Fair include the tractor, truck and heavy horse pulls on Saturday and Sunday; the Ultimutts Stunt Dog Show with three performances a day at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday only.
