Welcome from the Board of Directors Welcome to our Centennial Celebration! We are proud to share with you 100 years of promoting agriculture in our district.

The Coombs Fair is a family affair with lots to see and do, and plenty of good eats. From livestock to garden produce, arts & crafts, photography, needlework and domestic science, many hours of work go into the exhibits entered into the friendly competitions at the Coombs Fair. Children are an important part of keeping agriculture alive in these ever changing times and 4-H is a huge component at our Fair.

We wish to thank the sponsors, advertisers, groups and organizations and especially all the volunteers that help make the fair possible. We wish all the exhibitors the best of luck and extend a warm invitation to everyone to come and check out the Coombs Fair. Just come and have fun and relax. If you have any ideas that might enhance our fair, we would be very glad to hear from you.

Visit us at our website also — www.coombsfair.com See you at the Fair!

Hi stor y of the C o ombs Fair In 1913, a group of farmers from Saanich settled in the Hilliers area, and decided to hold a fall fair to show what could be grown and raised in this area. To the best of our knowledge, among them were: Mr. & Mrs. George Moore, Mr. & Mrs. J.J. Clarke and son Dick, Mr. H. Burgoyne, Mr. & Mrs. Hilliers, Mr. Jack Boyd, and Mr. & Mrs. Stevens, who owned the Hilliers store at one time. Since then, only World War II interrupted an otherwise annual event.

In 1921 the fall fair was held in Parksville, and then in 1924 the fair was held on what is now the Coombs Fairgrounds, the land acquired from Mr. Ford. The association that ran the fair at that time was called the Cameron, Nanoose, Newcastle District Agricultural Fair. In 1947, a new hall was built on the property by volunteer labour. The president at that time was Mr. Preston McGowan and the secretary was A.J. Mason.

In 1948 and 1968 more land was acquired, the latter piece from Eli Iankow, bringing the property back to Burgoyne Road, and the association name was

changed to the Arrowsmith Agricultural Association, as it is known today. The fair is held annually at the Coombs Fairgrounds on the second weekend in August. If anyone has more information or photos to add to our history, please contact a member of the association, or call Donna Furneaux at 250-752-9935.

Purpose of the

Arrowsmith Agricultural Association • To foster community spirit • To promote cultivation of the soil and general development of agricultural resources • To facilitate, directly or through other associations, the education and personal development of people of all ages in agricultural and farming activities • To conduct an agricultural fair and exhibition.

ENTRY FORM: see rule 3 ENTRY FEE: $1.00 per entry; $1.50 per entry after 5pm Monday before the Fair.

PRIZE MONEY: 1st - $5.00 2nd - $3.00 3rd - $2.00 Rosettes Best Bloom in Show RULES: 1. All exhibits must have been grown by the exhibitor, except in classes 50-57 2. Entry forms & fees must be received no later than 5pm Monday, before the Fair. (see rule 17, pg. 11) 3. Exhibits must be on the grounds between 6-8pm on Thursday or between 7:30 and 9:30am on the Friday before the Fair. Judging begins at 10am on the Friday.

4. Only one (1) entry per class per exhibitor, except in gladiolas, dahlias, lily, and cut flowers, where two (2) exhibits may be made, provided they are different cultivars (different colour, different name) and are named.

5. Exhibits must not be removed before 5:00 p.m. Sunday.

TIPS FOR EXHIBITORS: 1. Use only the BEST flowers for show. Flowers and leaves that have been nibbled by bugs or damaged by weather aren’t good enough.

2. Flowers need water! Make sure that all flowers in an arrangement are in clean water or in a water-soaked floral form, available at any florist shop.

3. “MEASURE UP” ... make sure to measure flower arrangements and flowers that have a size restriction. Those that do not “measure up” will not be judged.

4. Containers must be provided by the exhibitor and be an appropriate size for the flower(s) in them. A large 8” Dahlia must be put in a large vase – the beauty of the flowers are not shown when they are put into a small vase.

5. Stabilize your containers with rocks, sand, etc. in the bottom so that they will not tip over.

6. Stake gladiolus to keep them straight for show.

7. Gladiolus are to be 1/3 stem, 1/3 open bloom and 1/3 bud. The flowers on stem should be spaced evenly, with no gaps.

8. Petunias: we suggest using a glass pie plate lined with foil.

9. Put potash around your dahlia plants two (2) weeks before cutting to improve flower quality and colour.

10. If possible all varieties of flowers should be named – this informs the public and gives everyone more pleasure.

11. Flowers last longer if the stem is cut on the slant, and a bit of gingerale added to the water extends display time. To keep hollow stem flowers longer, fill with water and plug with a bit of cottonball.

4-H is an educational program providing the opportunity for urban as well as rural youth to learn basic agricultural and homemaking skills. Skills are acquired in looking after and handling the project, and as a result, young people learn management skills.

Opportunity for learning the skills of leadership are found in every phase of 4-H work. The 4-H also offers a large variety of travel opportunities. Some of these are Provincial Club Week and Foundation One in Naramata, B.C.; Ottawa Citizenship Seminar; National 4-H Club Conference, Washington, d.c.; 4-H Conference; Inter-Provincial 4-H Exchange; and Norgan Exchange.

All 4-H projects that are made and raised throughout the year are on display at the Fair. The 4-H awards system is

designed to aid the individual personal development of the member. Awards are given on the basis of a member’s personal growth or achievement, where a member is rated against their own experience and capacity as compared to a standard. All badges and certificates are awarded on this basis.
