Interior Provincial Exhibition (IPE)

Armstrong Fair, IPE (Interior Provincial Exhibition)
We drove our motor home on the evening of Tue Sept 1 to Armstrong, about 20 miles and did dry camping across the street from the fair. I had always wanted to do this and we finally did. We spent 5 nights there. I really enjoyed being able to come and go to the MH whenever we wanted. Ches’s sister and brother-in-law joined us on Wed. and we checked out most of the exhibits and went to the rodeo in the evening. We ate most of our meals in the MH but enjoyed junk food like mini donuts and home made pie at the fair.



We enjoyed watching the horse events and the rodeo. Our favorite event was the mini chuck wagons, these are small chuck wagons pulled by 4 miniature horses and an adult sitting in the wagon driving. They race 2 wagons at a time and there were 10 different wagons. We watched the rodeo every night, but were a little disappointed that there were not that many professional riders in it. It was fun but a bit too long so we don’t plan to do that again next year.






I had a doll just like this from when I was 10 years old
