Strange incident at Victoria Day fair

June 10, 2014 · 0 Comments

The Nobleton Victoria Day Fair had an incident that just boggles the mind.
The stage tents have been set up and taken down every year for 10 years without incident. Last year, someone decided to take a knife and shred the entire back 40-foot panel. We’re still looking for that for that thoughtless, destructive individual. Who does that?
This year we had an “are you kidding?” moment.
A couple of locals of Nobleton thought it would be a great idea to take advantage of an opportunity to make some extra money off the back of the event.
They decided to charge $5 for parking, using someone else’s property!
They used the parking lot of a business on King Road close to the park. The owner of the property, when he learned what had happened, was not happy. He has been kind enough to offer his parking lot for years, never even thinking of charging a dime. It’s a community event.
We do know who these individuals are and thought it would be nice if they gave half of what they took in to the Nobleton Victoria Day Fair, or all of it to the owner of the property.
Who does things like this?

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
