It has seen more than 1,300 contestants from over 100 communities throughout the province compete for the exclusive year-long title of Ambassador of the Fairs.
The winner will travel across Ontario as a representative of the CNE and all agricultural fairs.
Contestants are judged on criteria ranging from knowledge of the CNE and agriculture to poise, personality and overall impression.
