Recounting the story of a lady
he met at the Sunrise Breakfast,
Kristjansson said people can
easily understand the important
place the Winter Fair holds as a
tradition in the province.
Kristjansson explained that
the woman — who has been
coming to the show for 78 years
— is one of the many people who
have helped the fair establish an
important and lasting legacy.

the season and mark the start of

Kristjansson exclaimed.

array of entertainment set to
amuse everyone from the kids
to grandma and grandpa.
