The event was scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Fintry Provincial Park but the McDougall Creek wildfire has dashed plans with evacuations in the area.
鈥淚t is with heavy hearts we are cancelling the Fintry Highland Fair,鈥� said the estate on its Facebook page Friday, Aug. 18.
鈥淥ur thoughts are with all of those affected by these horrible fires.鈥�
The highland fair was to include food trucks, vendors, 50-50 draw, a shortbread competition and fun games such as haggis hurling, wife-carrying race, tug-o-war and the welly-boot throw.
