The Weyburn Agricultural Society is reporting the results from the 2021 Weyburn Fair Days, with 1,700 through the gate on Thursday evening, 2,025 on Friday, 2,475 on Saturday, and 2,700 on Sunday.

There were 66 ladies entered into the Deep South Ladies Barrel Racing on Friday, 35 in the open youth category and 16 peewees for the barrel jackpot.

Forty children entered the DQ Kids Rodeo, and, in spite of a short rain delay, the kids all had a blast and learned a lot.

The Kenny Wade Band played Saturday night at the Swayze Saloon. 

"It was a huge hit," said Jeff Clay with the Ag Society.

"It was great to see a live band again. Lots of dancing and visiting and fun. Mandy Szczecinski even jumped on stage for a few songs. So much local talent."

Then, on Sunday they held the car show, in which a total of 90 cars were registered.

"Thank You to Weyburn Police Service for the use of their side by side," noted Clay. "Thank you to Great Plains Ford for use of sunshade tent for the Registration booth. Thank you to Poorboys Motorsports for looking after the burnout competition." 

"Thank you to all our volunteers," he said. "Thank you to all that came out and made it such a great show." 

The Barber Motors Best Chev prize went to Trevor Blaine for his 1957 Chev Bel Air.

The Great Plains Ford Best Ford prize went to Tim Carlson for his 1966 Ford Fairlane Convertible.

The Best Mopar (Knight Dodge) prize went to Curtis Croal for the 1967 Plymouth GTX, which also won the SooLine Cruisers Best of Show.

First place in the Burnout competition went to Brad Scharnatta, second went to Nathan Halberg.

The Rumble in the Ring winner was Jared Bourassa, second place was Logan Wadell, and third place was Blaze Wadell. 

While the 50/50 raffle generated a total pot of over $3,000, the prize is still unclaimed.

"So check the Ag Society's Facebook page for the winning number," reminded Clay.

Our ice cream sales brought in $1,000. 

"This has been one of the most successful Fair Days we have seen in a long time, so thank you to the community and all the volunteers for helping make this happen."

Police Chief Jamie Blunden with the Weyburn Police Service said, from a policing standpoint, the fair days went off without a hitch.

"The fair days were good, and you know what? It got the community out, everybody had a good time, and overall we were pretty happy with the results."

He said police involvement was relatively minimal.

"We were involved a little bit, but not to the extent what was is any concern," noted Blunden. "I think we ended up having some parking complaints. Some keep the peace and harassment sort of calls."

He said there was one incident wherein an individual had had a little bit too much to drink.

"So we found a safe place for him to sleep for the night and ultimately he was arrested for being drunk in public, but, I mean, released the next day without charges."

"Ultimately I think everybody had a good time, and it appeared that we had a good turn out there. So good on Weyburn for that."
