Weekly Events Update, August 22, 2024

The Digby County Exhibition is on from today through the weekend. It's one of Bear River's oldest running traditions! Come out and celebrate with us the rich agricultural history of our community. Bring the family out for live entertainment, including horse shows & ox pulls throughout the day and live music from Felix & Friends and The Hillbilly Band.
