British Columbia Agricultural Exposition Society
The BC Agricultural Exposition Society’s annual Expo highlights the benefits of supporting and promoting agriculture through our youth. Over 225 dedicated 4-H youth will gather to celebrate their hard work and dedication to their projects.
Included with numerous entertaining and educational events are a variety of interesting displays and vendors. Our live auction also gives you the opportunity to take home some top quality meat from the beef, sheep and goat projects, and some beautiful creations from quilting to photography.
Awards & Dance
The annual Awards and dance is held the Sunday of the Fair starting at 7:00pm; conveniently located on the North Thompson Fair Grounds. The evening is a great way to celebrate the 4-H members' success during the fair. Many individual and club awards are presented for judging, aggregate, stall competition, citizenship and more. Everyone is welcome to attend the Awards!
Tickets are $20/person. Please purchase tickets when you complete your fair entries. After the Awards are finished and tables are cleared the Dance will begin!
