Wellington County Junior Farmers (WCJF) hosted five exchange delegates during the last week of May.
WCJF was the first county to host in Ontario this year.
Every year Junior Farmers of Ontario hosts delegates from other countries and show them around Ontario for three months.
The group started their week attending the Mount Forest Murder Mystery dinner. They really enjoyed having some fun paint balling.
Local members took them on a few farm tours to see dairy, beef, goats, fish and sheep farms.
They also went to the Keady Market in Chesley to do some shopping.
The group toured Elora, taking a walk and having a picnic by the gorge. They also toured Eastgen, DHI and the Sleeman brewery in Guelph.
Delegates could also be seen helping do chores and socializing with their hosts.
“It is always a great time with the delegates,” organizers note.
“We love getting to know things about other countries and showing them the great parts of our county.”
Their next stop was the University of Guelph Club and then Peel County.
Junior Farmers consists of people aged 15 to 29 from all occupations and walks of life. They are people looking for fun, new challenges, and an opportunity to be involved.
