There’s a lot to take in this weekend at the Exhibition Grounds as the Opasquia Agricultural Society is hosting Chuck Wagon and Chariot races.

 

The event will start tomorrow with gates opening at 4pm and running all weekend long.

 

Races will happen at 8pm on Friday, 4pm on Saturday, and 1 on Sunday.

 

Darlene Dushanek with the Agricultural Society talks about Grocery races:

 

"And another really exciting event that is a crowd and family favourite is our Grocery Race that we put on.  That's on at intermission time.

 

So get out there and have a three-legged race on the track.  You get to carry home whatever groceries you can find!  

 

So you're basically gonna get your wrist bracelet back, and groceries, so get out there and get those zoodles!"

 

There will be performances happening on the stage in the beer gardens throughout the event with performances from the Metis Fiddlers, Cranberry Jam, and other local performers are encouraged to take the stage on Friday night at 5pm.

 

This year the Pull-a-Tow Truck event will happen, which will host local teams that will pull for a chance at a 500-dollar cash prize.

 

Weekend and day passes will be available at the gate, and for a full list of events and activities this weekend find the Opasqiua Agricultural Society on face book.
