Dairyfest has been running in the village of Winchester in the Township of North Dundas since its inception in 1988. Dairyfest was started by a small committee of merchants to help promote local business. Joel Steele was one of the founding fathers of Dairyfest and passed the torch on only after ensuring that Dairyfest was well rooted and an annual event that residents looked forward to every August.

The addition and elevator at the Winchester Arena
Helped to replace the air conditioner at the Winchester Arena
The purchase of chairs and tables at the Community Centre

Dairyfest 2016 fun

Thanks to the organizers for a great event!  We had a great time in the baseball tournament and lots of fun giving out cowboy hats in exchange for donations to the food bank and House of Lazarus.  We were able to raise a cart of groceries in addition to $550 while having a hoot!  Lucky winners of ‘find your matching hat number’ came away with over $325 in prizes, too!

Can’t wait for next year!
