Portage Ex

143rd Portage Ex
COME EXPERIENCE AGRICULTURE!!!

On behalf of the Executive, Directors and Staff of the Portage Industrial Exhibition, I invite you to join us in celebrating our 143rd Anniversary!! Portage Ex holds the distinction of being one of Western Canada's oldest continuously running fairs.
There is something for everyone at the fair - 4-H achievements, horse and cattle shows, family and children's entertainment, a petting zoo, midway rides and games of chance, displays of various nature as well as food prepared by local organizations!
The fair kicks off on Friday afternoon and will be followed by two jam packed days on Saturday and Sunday. Our music tent will again be one of the most popular places to be over the weekend. Ed Goertzen will get everything started on Friday afternoon and our evening dance will follow with the Mark Morisseau Band with special guest Melissa St.Godard. Saturday afternoon will feature the Charlie Brennan Band. The evening dance will host the Northern Reflections Band. For those looking for a little more action, you can mosey on over to the PCU Centre for an evening action packed with RODEO fun!! This will be followed up by a party in the dirt.
Sunday afternoon in the tent will bring Jake Chenier, a kids' entertainer full of laughter and fun. The action packed RODEO will be back on Sunday afternoon for a second show at the PCU Centre with music by Leanne Pearson, followed by the Foster Martin Band. Along with all of this music, Spectrum Sound and Light productions, featuring Lollipop the Clown, will magically draw you to his stage each afternoon and evening. Ricklyn Farm petting Zoo will again be in the tent south of the office. Select Shows Midway will be returning for 3 days of ride thrills. When things get too hot outside, venture into the MNP Exhibition Building and take in a wonderful display of quilts, photography, flowers and baking. Let the kids take part in some agricultural activities while you cool down. This is just some of the fun awaiting you at the 143rd Portage Ex.

We are proud of our exhibition grounds and facilities and wish to thank our many volunteers, corporate sponsors and donors for their continued support.

Join us in the celebration of our 143rd Portage Fair and experience agriculture!!!
