Lyndhurst – The 29th annual Lyndhurst Turkey Fair is being held this Saturday, September 16th in Lyndhurst.
Every year, on the third Saturday in September, Lyndhurst’s population of roughly 300 residents swells to a bustling crowd of up to 5000. People come from near and far to enjoy the annual Lyndhurst Turkey Fair.
Run by local volunteers, the event is reminiscent of a time when farmers would gather in the village to show and sell their finest poultry. After a day of selling, the farmers would make arrangements to ship the birds as far away as Montreal and Toronto from the Lyndhurst train station.
The free day of fun runs from 10 am to 4:30 pm and includes, a quilt show & quilt raffle, antique cars, a craft & vendor fair, a silent auction, free Voyageur canoe rides, several prize draws and live entertainment.
There are also free activities for the kids such as a petting zoo, pony rides, games & crafts, face & hair painting, a reptile show and more.
The proceeds from the Turkey Fair are given back to local charities and communities.
