My journey with the Agricultural Society started back in 2005 when I joined the Ambassador of the Fair Program as a contestant. I immediately felt the warmth from the "Fair family" who took us under their wings and showed us the ropes. Over the years I have been fortunate to be involved with various aspects of the Fair and it is an absolute honour to represent the Arthur Agricultural Society and its many volunteers this year!
With my introduction out of the way, I am so excited to formally invite you to the 167th Arthur Fall Fair! This year’s theme is "Tractors and Tailgates" and it can be enjoyed in the variety of exhibits and activities we have planned for you. There are many new attractions and returning events at the Fair this year, so please take a moment to review the fair schedule and plan your weekend outing. Purchase your tickets in advance online, or at the gate. The daily or weekend wristbands ensure re-entry to the fair, so you can enjoy the livestock shows and the inflatables all day and return for an evening of more fun!
New this year, we have Noah Nogueira the Juggling, Magic and Comedy Show! A Sandcastle Competition, Dog Lure Course, Zucchini Races and OptiMrs Bingo!
I also invite you to participate by exhibiting your arts and crafts, baking, preserves and horticulture in the many class sections that are available. Entering your handiwork is easy and fun and we would be more than happy to assist anyone who is uncertain of the process.
Finally, our Fair would not continue to thrive and grow without the many hours given by our valuable and dedicated volunteers and generous sponsors, and I would like to take this opportunity to personally THANK YOU for your continued support.
So come on out and experience all the wonderful sights, sounds and smells of our amazing Fair. I look forward to seeing you there!
