On September 9, 1989, the first Chestermere Country Fair was held. The idea of having a fair came from Helga Dressel and Ken Fraser. They believed that this type of event would bring together the urban and rural roots of the community. The parades, dances, spaghetti eating contests, dunk tanks, 4H demonstrations (rabbit and beef), heavy horse pulls, pet shows, wine and beer competitions, slow pitch tournaments, Red Ribbon competition and the farmers' markets have made for even more fun, competition and camaraderie. Each year the fair and Red Ribbon competition add new and exciting agricultural events, such as the honey competition in 2013 and the zucchini car races and pillowcase challenge in 2014. These new events are drawing in more families and visitors to this one-of-a-kind event, on that has sadly been dying out in small communities all over Alberta. The Chestermere Country Fair has been and will continue to be a reminder of the agricultural roots of this lakeside urban/rural community for many more years to come.
