The Hixon Fall Fair took over the village south of Prince George over the weekend, opening with a parade and featuring plenty of activities for visitors.
In addition to the games and bouncy castles, the fair also included the minirail from Central Interior Railway Museum in Prince George.
Inside the community hall, the fair featured agricultural, arts and homecraft exhibits of flowers and plants, fruits and vegetables, grains and forage, hooked rugs and cushions, leatherwork, candles, feather craft, string art, jewelry, ceramics and pottery, textiles, baby items, slippers, doll clothes and tatting, centre pieces and bedspreads, knitted socks and gloves, hand sewn men’s and ladies’ clothing, pillowcases, needle point, tablecloths quilts and more. The exhibits also included food and canned goods.
The fair wrapped up with a community dinner followed by a dance featuring music by the Chris Goodwin Band from Prince George.
Part of the fair's fun was a Raise the Roof Raffle, with proceeds going to the $53,000 replacement cost of a new roof for the community hall.
