Two of the area’s biggest fall fairs – the Lindsay Central Exhibition and Bobcaygeon Fair will be here before you know it.

The 164 th Lindsay Central Exhibition runs from September 19th to the 23rd. This year’s highlights include The Canadian Forces Parachute Team, the Skyhawks. They defy physics, and weather permitting, you will be able to see what I mean for yourself. The Skyhawks will perform each day from Thursday to Sunday at 3:00 pm. In addition to witnessing their show, there will be an opportunity to meet the members of the team after the show and get autographs.

SnowCross Snowmobile Racing is Coming Back to Lindsay

Posted in Day to Day Life, tagged , , , , , , , on February 1, 2018| Leave a Comment »

February 17 to the 18th, 2018, you can witness the thrill of this exciting sport thanks to the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association (CSRA).

CSRA was created in 1994 to oversee, organize, promote and regulate snowmobile competitions in Canada, primarily within Ontario and Quebec.

Race fans include the young and old – all enthusiasts for the rapidly expanding sport of professional snowmobile racing.

Snowcross is actually the most popular form of snowmobile racing. Imagine high-flying aerial displays in addition to all of the activity on the compact race track. The race tracks feature tight turns and banked corners – designed for the fast pace of the race.

Lindsay is one of the key Powersports markets on the Snowcross race circuit. The series attracts hundreds of racers and thousands of spectators at each event – over 50,000 spectators for the season.

CSRA racers, spectators and recreational snowmobile users love the great outdoors and the excitement of the race. In fact, loving winter is a must!  The season started January 13th in Quebec. The first day of races included rain; by the second day the temperature was -20*C; the next day it was down to -38 C with the windchill. But the race went on!

Plan to be at the Snowcross Kawartha Cup – either as a competitor or spectator – on February 17/18. All the excitement takes place at the Lindsay Exhibition Centre.
