The ambassador competition is always a highlight of any rural fair, and Grand Valley is no exception. This year’s ambassador competition will be held on Sept. 14, with the winners in the junior and senior categories announced during the official opening of the fair on the evening of Sept. 20.
2012-13 senior fair ambassador Britney Davison says her year in the role has been “eye-opening and eventful.
“I had the opportunity to visit other districts where many new friendships were formed. I have learned more about public speaking and gained several tips on being a strong leader. I have made many new friends who I will have forever,” she says in a message to fair-goers.
“This experience has made me more confident in a variety of social settings, especially public speaking. I have learned a fall fair is not only for the entertainment or a night out, but a place where town and country come together,” she continues.
Junior ambassador Natasha Willoughby also found her year on the fair circuit fun and educational. “I have learned many things that have improved my public speaking skills, my people skills and my knowledge of fairs in general,” she notes.
