Fall Fairs Coming Soon

After what’s been a very long and hot summer, the cooler temperatures of fall are a welcome change. There are many other wonderful aspects of fall to look forward to, including: the harvest, changing leaves, and of course, fall fairs. Here in Dufferin-Caledon, we welcome several fall fairs each year. They can be found throughout the riding and promise to offer something to every interest and age group.
