Tourist Traps  

A RIP OFF!!!!!

aneaglewhensheflies 64 reviews

I really am quite ashamed to admit that our Quinte Exhibition ( Fair) is a REAL RIP-OFF, as far as I'm concerned. It costs too much to even get admittance into the grounds, never mind the cost of the games and rides for Kids,Students and Adults. Our Craft Barns and Livestock Barns are certainly NOT what they used to be-- IN FACT, any smaller towns in the surrounding area would be far more beneficial to you to visit than ours.

Fun Alternatives: One of our small town fairs in the Quinte Region would be a real HOOT for you to attend as the Picton Fair is awesome as well as Picton's Street Dances.
