THE BATTLEFORDS – The Battlefords Agricultural Society is bringing back one of the most celebrated exhibitions in the area, with Northwest Territorial Days coming to town from Aug. 17 to 19.
The 134th running of the parade is slated for Tuesday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m., with entry information being found on the Ag Society website.
Entry to the grounds will be $15 for adults, students aged 13 to 18 and seniors who are 60 or more will each be $12. Children aged 6 to 12 will be $16, and those five and under will be free.
If you’re a fan of the rides, West Coast Amusements is back, with ride bracelets now available at the Exhibition Park office for $40 each. Rides will be available from noon to 11 p.m. each evening. Of note, according to the release, those who are two years old or younger, as well as shorter than 36 inches, will no longer be permitted to ride due to insurance purposes.
On the flip side, if rides aren’t your cup of tea, there are plenty of other activities to keep you occupied for days. Chuckwagons and chariots will be at the grandstand for all three days, as spectators can expect dirt flying, fast-paced equine racing.
Theatre not in the form of racing will see Saskatchewan’s own performers take the world of Olympic athletes and collide with the world of theatre as they go for gold in laughter.
There will be a reptile petting zoo and dinosaur show, as well as i-Flip, which is said to be a jaw-dropping 25 minute performance that features aerial bungee, tramp wall, sphere, power track, and more.
For anyone who is a fan of the show America’s Got Talent will be pleased to hear that Extreme Dogs will be bringing their act to North Battleford.
With school just around the corner, a science-themed magic show will have the kids excited for learning and school again.
Family Day will take place on Aug. 17, with free gate admission for those ages 12 and under from noon until close.
