SUMMARY:Cowichan Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Cowichan Exhibition is the Cowichan Valley's beloved agri
 cultural fair\, filling Cowichan Exhibition Park in North Cowichan for a 
 weekend each September with the sights\, sounds and flavours of country l
 ife. Now in its 158th year\, it is one of Vancouver Island's longest-runn
 ing fairs — a genuine harvest-season tradition that brings the whole va
 lley together to celebrate farming\, food and homegrown talent as summer 
 turns to fall.\n\nIt is a fair in the fullest\, most authentic sense. Bar
 ns and halls fill with prize livestock and judged catalogue entries cover
 ing everything from produce and preserves to flowers\, baking\, quilts an
 d crafts\, entered by growers and makers young and old. Crowd-pleasing lo
 gger sports — a nod to the valley's forestry heritage — see competito
 rs race through axe-throwing\, sawing and pole-climbing events\, while th
 e Kid's Corral and family activities keep younger visitors busy. Add live
  entertainment\, demonstrations\, a midway feel\, and vendors and concess
 ions across the grounds\, and you have a full day out for all ages. The C
 owichan Valley is Vancouver Island's farm-and-wine country\, and the Exhi
 bition is where that identity is on proudest display. It is easy to reach
  in the Duncan area\, midway between Victoria and Nanaimo\, and pairs nat
 urally with a valley weekend of wineries\, cideries\, farm gates and the 
 murals of nearby Chemainus. Bring the family\, cash for the concessions a
 nd catalogue\, and plan to spend the afternoon soaking up one of the Isla
 nd's most authentic community events.\n\nhttps://vanislenet.net/events/co
