The Baraqueville fair attracts more than 50,000 visitors!

This is called passing between the drops. While the rain has been heavy in our department recently and is expected to fall again today, the sky was kind to Baraqueville yesterday.

Pleasant temperatures, sometimes sunshine, all that was needed for the traditional agricultural fair to return to its greatest successes of yesteryear. And above all an impressive crowd, in which you often had to jostle to make your way and discover the approximately 600 exhibitors of the day.

A mini agricultural show

Hold on tight, according to the organizers, the village merchants’ association “You Us”, the bar of 50,000 visitors has even been crossed! “We can only smile”, made no secret of Anaïs Blanc and Damien Rey, running the event alongside 80 volunteers. Up at dawn, some even had to hastily add stands for peddlers coming from all corners of France and even from the North for the most distant ones. This shows the success of the event, which is said to be the largest style fair in the region… This year especially, it wanted to reconnect with its initial side: agricultural.

While there were always sellers of everything from magic cloths to anti-stress bracelets and more, the focus was mainly on agricultural equipment. And breeding more generally with a Raymond-Lacombe space transformed into a mini Agricultural Show for a day and punctuated by various competitions. And as organizer Damien Rey perfectly summed up at the end of the day, “we must give back to this agricultural community everything it brings us throughout the year!”…This year, perhaps more than ever.
