McNAB-BRAESIDE – Arnprior Fair executives made their pitch to McNab-Braeside to become the new landlords of the Arnprior Fair.

Fair board president Brad Runtz attended the McNab-Braeside municipal meeting March 19 to ask about a piece of township-owned farmland.

Mayor Tom Peckett says he’d be delighted if his township were to become the new home of the Arnprior Fair but it’s complicated right now.

“It sounds like a good idea but there are a lot of hurdles to overcome to get there and I am not so sure the timeline will allow for us to get there this year,” he told Oldies 107.7 FM.

The mayor says he assumed the fair board was working toward acquiring a property on the township’s side of Division Street, but there’s been a delay in the transaction selling the Galvin Street property in Arnprior.

A staff report discussing possibilities, and the barriers of a very short time-line, is expected to come back to Council April 16.

Peckett says one obvious obstacle is the property under discussion has only one entrance/exit.
