Expectation and reality are two very different things, for instance, remember suicide squad? The trailer promised us something revolutionary, some of us even thought that Jared Leto could outdo the legend heath ledger as “the Joker, ” but none of that happened. In my opinion, the only good thing about the movie was Harley Quinn, anyways, I am here to tell you about what to expect in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Country Fest 2017. Kind of excited about the fest starving myself already to make space for the food I will consume on that day, so forgive me if I end up pulling a Zack Snyder on you.
Let’s get to the most important thing, parking. Next year you will have to part with $2 for parking and the admission is free, now that we have that covered let’s talk about what you will do there.
Generally you have ten things that you must check out when you get to the festival next year, the first are the food and vendors for obvious reasons, you also have to check out the open horse show, 4-H festival, midway rides and attractions, fun ‘Till you’re done barn, backyard farming demonstration, cat show, open poultry show and rabbit agility and most importantly live entertainment on two stages.
That’s going by what happened this year, next year it means that all of those events mentioned above will be bigger and better. Oh, and did I mention that’s just half of what will be going down in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows country fest.
That means that in 2017 you should expect more Ridge Meadows got talents, home arts, and exhibits, cops for cancer, prime timers lounge races, and even rabbits. For those of us who enjoy “walking on the moon,” you should know that there will be lots of beer and spirits, for the ladies, there will be wine. Oh well, you can drink whatever you like, the important thing is that you have fun.
What’s a party without music? This year we had performances from VOC Sweet Soul Gospel Choir, Bhangra Academy, Rumba Calzada, the Appaloosa band, the devil in the wood shack and many more surprises. Next year you should expect more, more diversity, more music, and more performances.
Shaking your booty is one of those things in life that help you forget your problems, motivate you and sometimes bring you closer to God. Whichever way you look at it music is a very important part of the Maple Ridge and Pitt County country fest.
Education
I know school sucks, but without it, humanity would still be living in caves somewhere in the forest, when you get to next year’s Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows county fest you should take it as an opportunity to learn new things. The festival will be filled with people who have lots of experience in farming. Thus if you want to try your hand at farming, you should make connections and learn things.
And don’t forget to carry your notebook and a pocket full of change to buy stuff that interests you.
