On behalf of directors, associate directors and our large group of volunteers, I would like to invite everyone to our 156th Arthur Fall Fair, to be held Sept. 6 to 9.
My personal thanks to our dedicated past and present directors, volunteers, exhibitors and sponsors for supporting us through 155 years. Without you we would not exist as we do today; all is very much appreciated.
Our theme for 2012 is “Potatoes”. We plan to have activities and demonstrations based on this theme.
New this year is Cope Amusements Midway for our children’s entertainment and enjoyment.
Also we are sponsoring a Hereford cattle show on Sunday.
A big project taken on by the agricultural society is the new cooler refrigeration unit for the community centre installed this summer. We appreciate all of the donations received for this project from Arthur area residents and businesses. We will have various events this year to pay the balance owing. By donating the cooler refrigerator we will be saving Wellington North residents tax money.
Our annual beef barbecue dinner will kick off the fair on Thursday evening (Sept. 6).
See the fair program for all other events for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. To end the fair, we will hold the crowning of the new 2012-13 Fair Ambassador and quilt draw.
Support of our advertisers and vendors benefit all concerned and we look forward to welcoming everyone to our 156th fair.
“See you at the fair.”
