2021 Feature Events

Even with a vaccine, there is no immediate end to the COVID-19 restrictions. For 2021, we have decided to try hosting a number of smaller events designed to give our guests something to look forward to, while keeping everyone safe.

Some events might take place over a few days or in large areas, so we can spread people out in time or distance. Some shorter events might take place several times during a day, and we may need to sign people up for a specific timeslot.

This is in the early planning stages so all events are "On Hold" as we sort out the details.

May 21 - 24 – Grain Academy Grand Opening - On Hold

The Grain Academy, our newest exhibit, did not get a proper grand opening last year due to COVID-19. We hope for something better in 2021.

May 29 – Spring Tractor Pull - On Hold

The first tractor pull of the year is a great time to brush off the dust and get your tractor out of winter storage. Use this day as a opportunity to tune up your equipment and hone your skills.

June 1, 2, & 3 - Pioneer Farm Life Theme Days - On Hold

An educational event specifically aimed at elementary school children on field trips with their classes and teachers. Pre-registration is required.

June 19 - Neighbours Day - On Hold

A special welcome to all our neighbours. Surprise events happening all day.

June 26 - Salute to the Horse - On Hold

As many horses as we can muster.

July 1 – Canada Day - On Hold

A number of ideas are currently being discussed.

July 3 & 4 – Stampede Appreciation Day - On Hold

We can't let Calgary have all the fun, can we?

July 17, 18 – Blow Off Some Steam - On Hold

We have stationary and portable steam engines and a 65 HP Case steam tractor, too. If you love steam (and who doesn't?), you'll love this weekend. There will be plenty of opportunity to get up close and personal. And dirty.

August 3 - Historic Calgary Week Tour - On Hold

Free event to celebrate the Grain Academy re-opening.

August 6, 7 & 8 - 51st Annual Show and Reunion - On Hold

This is our main event of the year. Virtually every piece of equipment that we have will be running. Many outside exhibitors also bring displays, equipment, crafts, and much more. In 2021 we are featuring Case Tractors and Equipment. Admission rates are slightly higher. Physical distancing is almost impossible but we're holding out hope that we can go ahead.

August 14 & 15 - Open Farm Days - On Hold

Our contribution to the province-wide Open Farm Days.

August 21 - Live History Theatre - On Hold

Live theatre is something we have never tried before. We are working with a troupe that does live, interactive theatre based on the artifacts and exhibits around us. There could be some family-friendly shows in the daytime and maybe something more mind-challenging for adults in the evening. This sounds very exciting - we can hardly wait to be able to provide more details!

September 11, 12 – Stationary Engines - On Hold

Farm life and industry as it was in early 1900’s would not have been possible without engines to provide mechanical power. Stationary engines pumped water, lifted grain in elevators, operated blacksmith and woodworking shops, produced electricity and performed a host of other tasks.

September 25 – Harvest Appreciation and Celebration - On Hold

Could this possibly be a threshing bee? They tend to attract a lot of attention, so it might only happen if some restrictions are loosened by then.

October 23 – Ghost Walk/Ghost Tour/Trick or Treat - On Hold

We do have some pretty scary looking equipment...

December 11 & 12 – Christmas - On Hold

Who knows what Christmas 2021 will bring?
