Attendees stream into La Ronge Elk’s Fair
The 2024 La Ronge Elk’s Fair is underway with 5,000 attendees expected each day.
The fair began at 10:30 a.m., specifically for clients of NorthSask Special Needs who may have sensitives to loud sounds, lights and crowds. The owners of Canucks Amusements also offered them gifts before the fair opened to the general public at noon.
Environment Canada is forecasting above 30 C temperatures for Friday and Saturday, so residents are encouraged to bring sunscreen and water to beat the heat. The beer gardens will be open to those of legal drinking age.
“If they do bring water, they have to have closed bottles,” said Elks member Brett Haugen. “You can’t get in with open water bottles and stuff. If they have containers, we have a fill station.”
