60th Cottam Fall Fair and Horse Festival

Story and photos by Deanna Bertrand

The 60th annual Cottam Fall Fair & Horse Festival kicked off Sunday morning, September 15, with a traditional pancake breakfast hosted by the Rotary Club of Cottam. 

The day-long list of events included many annual favourites such as the chili cook-off, parade, pony rides, bouncy castles, a vendors market, horse demonstrations, and a tractor and car show.

New this year was Border City Wrestling which showcased several matches and closed out the afternoon in the ring at Ridgeview Park. 

Tony Gaffan earned top bragging rights for the chili cook-off.

A wrestler stands confidently on the corner ropes of a wrestling ring, wearing red and blue tights with a lightning bolt design. He waves to a cheering crowd seated behind a metal barrier, with trees and a clear blue sky in the background. The audience includes people of various ages, some capturing the moment with their phones.

They are followed by a vehicle with a large inflatable yellow object on top and a Canadian flag. Spectators, including children, line the sides of the street, watching the procession. Trees and parked cars are visible in the background.
