Come to visit and actually see the displays and events. If you want to help out for the 150th, find a committee member and sign up. Thanking each an every one of you for your support in the revitalization of the longest running First Nations fair!

This is a totally amateur contest. Professionals (union musicians or whose talent is a principle source of income) are
not permitted to enter so if you’ve ever been paid to sing, you don’t qualify. We’ll need to know if you’re bringing your own music or require background music and what song. Registration forms will include a short bio and will be at the following outlets starting Saturday, August 12, 2016 – Six Nations Parks & Recreation, 1738 4th Line; Six Nations Tourism, 2498 Chiefswood Road. If you want the form emailed to you, my email is lharris@hric.ca. Admission to the fair is absolutely FREE
this year. We want to have fun and showcase your talent. Our judges for this contest are Juno award winner, Derek Miller; Johnny Cash tribute singer, Brian Simon and Jukasa Radio’s own Evening Host – Logan Staats! A huge thank you to these talented musicians for giving us your time.
