Residents and Visitors to Barriere on September 2, 2023 lined the streets with excitement as they gathered to watch the 74th Annual North Thompson Fall Fair & Rodeo parade that wound it’s way from the Barriere Elementary school and Fadear Park all the way to the NTFF grounds. Families with children were cheering and waving as parade participants, first responders, horses, lots of “Bee at the Fair” themed walkers and floats waved back and threw lots of candy their way. Sirens, horns, flashing lights and even some water spraying delighted the crowds along the way. A colourful sight kicking off the weekend with such great community spirit.
