On February 17-19, Fergus Fall Fair Ambassador Chantel Dirksen had the privilege of attending the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies convention at the Royal York in Toronto. Over 87 ambassadors attended coming from all over the province to participate in seminars with a wide variety of topics from domestic violence to wilderness survival. While some of the fair board members present – president Ted Kent, Deb Deb Veldhuizen and Susan Harrop – attended seminars with topics from how to make the anniversary of your fair successful to increasing youth involvement in your fairs. This September the Fergus Fall Fair will be celebrating its 175th annual fair September 16, 17 and 18, with the theme “Sowing Family Traditions.” Visit fergusfallfair.ca for more information.
