I’m 84 and live in Vancouver but have wonderful memories of Markham Fair. When in high school I played in the Markham High School Trumpet Band and we played at the fair, or maybe it was a march to the fair. We lived on a dairy farm just west of Brougham and just before the fair my father would dig up the potatoes. We happily shook them off and put them in big bags for storage over the winter. Then we were paid for our labours (which we took to Markham Fair). Tonight on our local news a mention was made of an international race which was held in Markham. That was what made me think that it must be almost time for Markham Fair. And it is. Hope you have a successful year.
