1. The Elora Halloween Scare Fair is a three-day event in the form of a traditional fair with
a medieval daytime feel with an eerie nighttime twist! There are three main components
to the Scare Fair, each of which occur on the grounds of The Elora Centre for the Arts.
• Tim Murton’s Twilight Zoo will showcase the illuminated creatures created by
Elora’s own Tim Murton. Patrons will weave there way between fantastical, frightening,
and funny friends. Tim’s creatures will be on display from October 13th to 31st.
• The Monster March, a non-motorized parade, will occur on Saturday October 22,
2011 at 6:30pm. Costumed participants will march down Metcalfe Street to conclude at
the Elora Centre for the Arts with a complimentary hot drink and an opportunity to enjoy
the night time events. The day time gives vendors a chance to sell costumes, services
(ie: face painting) to those participating in the parade as well as to patrons attending in
the evening.
• The final, and integral, component of the Elora Halloween Scare Fair is the
Bizarre Bazaar. The Bazaar is all about getting patrons to stretch their creativity and
imaginations. Vendors at the Bizarre Bazaar are encouraged to get ‘back to basics’ and
combine selling their homemade, unique goods with getting patrons involved. Of
course, vendors are also invited to sell manufactured goods that are Halloween or
Medieval themed. Overall, interactive entertainment, sewing costumes, decorating
treats, weaving baskets, painting pottery are the kinds of activities best suited, but not
limited to, the Bizarre Bazaar. Be creative! Bring something to the bizarre that will get
your booth noticed! You don’t need to be a vendor to take part in the Bizarre Bazaar.
Artisans, buskers, painters, bakers, jugglers, thespians and storytellers all welcome
