Le défilé, les expositions de voitures et de tracteurs, les expositions d'animaux et de produits agricoles, les olympiques agricoles, les concours de tir de chevaux et de tracteurs, les expositions d'artisanat, d'horticulture et de bricolage, le coin des 4-H, tous ces volets ont été à la mesure des succès des années précédentes, quand ils ne les ont pas carrément dépassés. 2, record 1, French, - Norwood%20Fair

Parmi les jouets antiques du Québec, le cheval de bois occupe une place privilégiée. Les artisans menuisiers ou sculpteurs ont fabriqué des chevaux sur roulettes (ou à roulettes), à patins, à berceaux (ou chevaux berçants), à bascule (ou en balançoire), tous pouvant être enfourchés par un enfant. Le mouvement du cheval berçant ou cheval à berceaux, est celui de la berceuse; celui du cheval à bascule ou cheval en balançoire est sensiblement le même, sauf qu'avec un mécanisme un peu plus sophistiqué, le va-et-vient du cheval de bois imite davantage la projection vers l'avant puis l'arrière d'un cavalier en selle. 4, record 5, French, - cheval%20ber%C3%A7ant
