It’s not spring until the Drayton Kinsmen Farm Show takes place – and I think we are all ready for spring.
Welcome to our 37th annual agri-business showcase. Exhibitors this year have been busy preparing for you and will be offering the latest in agriculture tech and services to make your job easier, less stressful and more profitable in 2018.
Agriculture is an ever-changing marketplace and Drayton Farm Show exhibitors are your boots on the ground. These are your neighbours, friends and family and a local call when you need service and assistance.
The Drayton Farm Show boasts over 100 exhibitors, plus a wide range of volunteers and not-for-profit organizations to make it successful. After all, the revenues from the show go right back into our community.
From the coaches and parents in our food concession raising funds to help keep costs down in minor hockey to the Norwell District Secondary School students manning the door for volunteer hours towards graduation, the event provides many opportunities for giving back to your community.
The Drayton Kinsmen are reaching a milestone this year of 50 years in our community and plan a dinner social on May 17. Those interested in attending should visit the Kinsmen booth at the show. The club’s pre-Canada Day event on June 30 will be a wing night and local entertainment followed by a concert featuring popular Celtic rockers, The Mudmen, at 9pm. Tickets are available from any Drayton Kinsmen and at the Kinsmen booth.
With over 2,000 people passing through the arena complex will be a busy place March 28 and 29.
Together over 50 years we have built a great community with parks and playgrounds, ball fields, arenas and soccer fields and the Drayton Kinsmen sincerely thank you for supporting our many endeavours to serve our community’s greatest needs.
