The Metcalfe Fair is an annual agricultural fair held in Metcalfe
Ontario, a town located about 15 miles south of Ottawa, Ontario,
the Capital City of Canada. This fair has been held in the fall
of each year since 1856.
It first began in Metcalfe, then a small village in the Province

President of the United States. Today, Metcalfe Fair is
