Best yard deadline extended

Due to a serious lack of entries the Ponoka Agricultural Fair Home Hobby and Horticultural Show is extending the deadline

Due to a serious lack of entries the Ponoka Agricultural Fair Home Hobby and Horticultural Show is extending the deadline of its yard competition to July 26.

Janet Hatala and Gail Davies, conveners for rural and urban landscaping and vegetable garden division show, want people to step forward and be recognized for the hard work they put into their yards and gardens.

People are also encouraged to enter their neighbours’ yards, with permission.

By July 17 only a few yards had been entered. “We need more people entering,” Hatala implored.

“Don’t be afraid of phoning last minute because we’ll certainly accept those,” said Davies.

Davies says the division wants to be able to recognize those who put extra work into their gardens themselves. “We really are excited when we see people put their own personal touch into it.”
