The Highlight for many from Weyburn and Area is the Summer Events organised by Weyburn's Agricultural Society. This year changes have been made to the programming.

"We have lots of big changes coming in July of 2018 for the Weyburn Agricultural Fair this year. It's going to be a one-week long event rather than two separate events or three or fair separate events. We're merging everything into a one-week long event," explained Jeff Clay, President, Weyburn Agricultural Society.

The events and dates are as follows;

  • Sunday, July 1st: 4H Horse show
  • Monday, July 2nd - Wednesday, July 4th: 4H Regional Beef Show
  • Thursday, July 5th - Sunday, July 8th: Midway with a petting zoo
  • Friday, July 6th - Saturday 7th: Rodeo, Mounted Shooters
  • July 8th: Demolition Derby

The Canadian Indian Relay Racing Association are bringing in Canadian Indian Relay Racing, which will take place on July 6th and 7th.

"It's a relay event for four competitors and they have to ride three horses each. So they ride one horse around the track barebacked, no saddle. They jump on a big thoroughbred horse, race it around the track, they come back to the starting point, a jump of that horse, jump on another and race it around the track. come to the starting area again, jump off that horse and then race the third horse around the track and you have four or five competitors racing around the track at the same time."

Clay said it is unfortunate but they are not bringing the Chuck Wagons in this year.

"Its been very hard bringing sponsorship for that event and the way our fair dates have changed too, it's going to be really hard to bring them in. We are still looking for sponsorship. If we can find the funds to bring them we will. And if we do bring them they will take place Monday and Tuesday, July 2nd and 3rd."

There will also be a food alley with food trucks being brought as well. The Saturday night after the Rodeo ends there are plans for a Battle of the Bands and a Beer Garden.

The opening night of the Midway, there are going to be half priced rides and half-priced admission.

Clay added It's going to be a really fun week with lots packed in.
