Thousands of visitors gathered to celebrate the 170th anniversary of the historic Metcalfe Fair, marking the end of the agricultural fall fair season in eastern Ontario. CTV's Camille Wilson speaks with 12-year-old Molly Quinn, who won a prize in the 9-to-12 age group for making a hat representing the 170th-anniversary theme. The event features four days of family entertainment, including an antique car show, livestock events, midway rides, and traditional food. The fair dates back to 1856 as a rotating event before settling permanently in the community in 1861.
