LambtonShield.com was able to capture one of their numbers, but here's a hint: the Blacks will be appearing at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Petrolia on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011.

Outdoor entertainment is running right through the entire weekend, with the West Coast Lumberjack Shows presenting their brand of fun at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on both Sunday and Monday. Here's a little of what you can expect at the show:

Finally, how about a bird's eye view of the Brigden Fair and surrounding area? Thanks to the good folks at the Central Helicopter Training Academy, a division of Zimmer Air Services, LambtonShield.com is able to provide this breathtaking "round the Fair" trip.
