The Emo Sports Field boasts multiple soccer fields, 2 baseball diamonds and a beach volleyball court, as well as seating areas with a shaded pavilion. Race enthusiasts won't want to miss the stock car action at the Emo Speedway. Cars from the central US and Canada compete for prizes on a quarter mile, banked clay track. The stock car races are a well loved part of the Rainy River Agricultural Fall Fair, held every August. The Fair is a highlight of the summer for all ages and features an exhibition hall, horse and beef showing, a Queen pageant, a parade and the much loved midway. Because of its geographic location, Emo serves as the main service center for the agricultural needs of the Rainy River District, as well as an important service center for the tourist industry. Emo provides a full range of services including a school, hospital, library, bank, medical & dental clinics, recreation centre.
