The folks at the Hylo/Venice Harvest Days know how to throw an old-time good time. The annual festival celebrates the bounty of the farm, but tosses in a weekend of fun events.
For at least a century this little hamlet near Lac la Biche has gathered on this weekend with serious award-winning horticultural displays but then cut loose with crazy fun.
Where else can you participate in activities that include pancake breakfasts, parades, pageantry and pigs?
Do you consider yourself an expert driver of a lawn tractor? Then you’d better head to Hylo and compete in the lawn tractor obstacle course.
Maybe if you feel nimble you’ll enter the pig chase.
Be careful: if you are an expert at tossing a bale or the master of the watermelon-eating contest you might just end up king or queen of the fair. Find out how in the list of events below or just show up and be part of the action.
