Hanley Celebrates Ag. Fair

Beautifully restored automobiles such as this one were a highlight of the parade.
Green was definitely the colour for Hanley Golf Club’s Ryder Cup float. The float paid tribute to the Saskatchewan Roughriders and it promoted the golf club’s Ryder Cup tournament that took place June 23.

HANLEY—Hanley’s Agricultural Society’s annual Ag Fair drew big crowds Friday, June 16 and Saturday, June 17.

The parade kicked off festivities Friday evening and featured a variety of floats and entries as well as the children’s bicycle parade.

At the fairgrounds, teams took part in a slo-pitch tournament that got underway early Friday evening. Later, modified lawn mowers ripped up the course in the popular lawn mower race that was followed by the burnout competition.

Saturday, kids had the chance to get good and dirty in the Muddy Moose Fun Run.

The Hanley4-H beef club held its achievement day. Also featured were pony rides, hobby and trade contests, the continuation of the slo-pitch tournament and a steak supper.
