The 171st Woodbridge Fair is the GTA venue and host’s a large gathering of shows, rides and attractions. The fair is filled with family fun including 11 categories of giant vegetables. Last year’s event was led by Todd Kline at 1,718 pounds (780.9 Kg) followed by Phil & Jane Hunt 1,515 and Chris Lyons 1,450. Todd was accompanied by several of the GVGO’s top grower’s to a delightfully large throng of guests intrigued by the mid-day weigh off of several large orange, monster sized pumpkins.
