Frontenac Arch Chamber of Commerce (formally Lyndhurst, Seeley’s Bay & District) to host the 30th Annual Lyndhurst Turkey Fair
[Release Date – 15 September 2024] – Lyndhurst, ON. – Frontenac Arch Chamber of Commerce (formally Lyndhurst, Seeley’s Bay & District)
Every year, on the third Saturday in September, Lyndhurst’s population of roughly 300 residents swells to a bustling crowd of up to 8000 people. People come from near and far to enjoy the Annual Lyndhurst Turkey Fair.
Turkey Fair carries on the tradition of getting together in the fall for a day of fun. Originally farmers would bring their poultry to town to sell, brining their family along to socialize with a fair like atmosphere.
Now days we carry on the tradition of a day of family fun by hosting the fair in the village of Lyndhurst. Indulge in toe-tapping tunes with three stage areas, savour scrumptious eats, and don’t forget the vintage car show! Delight in fun kid zone shenanigans, rub elbows with royalty like Cinderella and Brie the River Mermaid, paddle a Voyager canoe, hitch a ride on a wagon and mingle with the Canadian Armed Forces Navel Reserve personnel from Kingston’s own HMCS Cataraqui. Discover secrets of local history, see various exhibits such as blacksmithing, wood turning, and chair canning among others.
Uncover treasures with over 130 vendors for a unique shopping experience, stunning quilts at the quilt show (Lyndhurst Legion) enter to win a handmade quilt from Stonebridge Quilters. Review and bid on fantastic items at the Silent Auction and be sure to enter the 50/50 draw! This year’s raffle proceeds will be donated to the Sweets Corners Elementary School Kindergarten play structure fundraiser.
Free entry and Free parking – come spend the day in Lyndhurst!
Media are warmly invited to capture this community story.
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., September 21, 2024. Note there will be an opening ceremony at the Lyndhurst Community Garage (Turkey Fair HQ), 170 Jonas Street Lyndhurst ON at 10am. Local Dignitaries have been invited.
