HEY DREAMERS, THE BIG DAY IS ALMOST HERE!
A NEW AND IMPROVED DREAM DAY FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL-NEEDS, AND THEIR FAMILIES AWAITS!
Many fair attendees come for the sights and sounds of the Western Fair, but for some the bustle of the crowds, busy vendors, attractions, and sounds of free fall rides and bumper cars is not their idea of a wonderful day. Western Fair customizes a much more manageable sensory experience for Day of Dreams attendees which we hope creates an amazing memory they, and their family, will enjoy for a lifetime.
Western Fair is happy to announce that with the support of our Presenting Sponsor – Peter Inch & Associates, we have been able to extend this unique opportunity to more children and youth between the ages of three and eighteen. DOD will also move to a new date and time, Friday, September 13th from 11am to 3pm with participants enjoying a delicious lunch, provided by John’s Fruits and Vegetables and Coca Cola Bottling Company, getting their faces painted by the wonderful Dotsy the Clown, followed-up with entertainment from our fabulous fair attractions, and special meet and greets with their favourite personalities from Thomas the Tank Engine, Paw Patrol and Trolls at the Character Corner. (*Note: Acts are subject to change).
The fun continues outside from 1pm to 3pm, as Dreamers are invited to experience the magic of the Kiddyland Midway with no crowds, lights, and limited sounds. For bigger kids, who may not be able to ride all Kiddyland rides due to size and safety rules, DOD will offer the experience of the adult midway if they wish to do so at 3pm when the grounds and main midway open to the public. Day of Dream bracelets will be honoured by North American Midway Entertainment our Day of Dreams partner, for the duration of Friday, September 13th during public hours.
Application forms for families who feel their child’s special needs would be accommodated by this unique sensory sensitive opportunity to find their happy place should apply as soon as possible. 2024 attendance for this special event has been increased but is limited to 2000 attendees for this one-of-a-kind opportunity and registration spots go quickly. Application forms can be found on the Western Fair’s website at www.westernfair.ca. There is no cost to those who register, but availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
We are looking forward to helping you find your happy place at this year’s Western Fair.
