Grammy award-winning

Jars of Clay

Abbotsford onlookers will be all ears as chart-topping, three-time Grammy award-winning Christian rock band Jars of Clay take the stage under the night sky at the Abbotsford Agrifair on Aug. 4. Bring your family, friends and blanket and find a spot in the stands or on the grass early. This concert is going to draw many!

Inspired by musical artists such as Jimi Hendrix,

The Beatles, Sarah McLachlan, Brent Bourgeois, Toad the Wet Sprocket and Seal, the Jars of Clay sound is a blend of alternative rock, folk, acoustic and R&B that is enjoyed by both the secular world and Christian community. Lyrics based on the personal beliefs of the band members inspire without being overly laden with Biblical scripture.

“This is big for the Agrifair,” says Pamela Brenner, Agrifair general manager. “We expect Agrifair grounds will be packed Sunday evening.”

Don’t let this worry you. There is an opportunity to snag a priority entry to see this highly acclaimed band up close. Just show up at the free pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. Sunday. One thousand priority tickets are set to be dished out to hungry fans!

The generosity of Agrifair’s major partners is what ultimately put Jars of Clay on the program.

“We are extremely grateful to Columbia Kitchen Cabinets Ltd. and Fraserway RV for their very generous donation which has made this Jars of Clay concert possible,” said Brenner.

Agrifair president, Ernie Silveri, added, Meyers Norris Penny, Clearway Car and Truck Rental, and Praise 106.5 also contributed.

After the pancake breakfast, round the family up and attend church “cowboy, cowgirl or little wrangler” style with Jack Jackson at his evangelistic cowboy church service.

President’s message

WELCOME to the “the best little country fair!”

On behalf of the Abbotsford Agrifair Board of Directors and staff, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to – WILD, WILD WEST! Agrifair is a long standing community tradition and we continue to be part of Abbotsford’s beautiful family summer activities. Thank you to the City of Abbotsford, BC Gaming, our sponsors and volunteers who help create this four-day event that bridges the gap between “urbanites” and “ruralites.” Agrifair’s board of director’s goal remains the same: to produce an event that surpasses the expectations and satisfies the

diverse interests of the public with affordable fun for the whole family!

I extend a warm welcome to everyone in our community as well as across the province and country. With all the great shows, concerts and amazing attractions, it will be a great time had by all! Come all four days with our $15 all-weekend wristband, watch Valley Voices on Friday, Dallas Smith on Saturday, Jars of Clay on Sunday and demolition derby on Monday. Be sure not to miss The Mighty Fraser Rodeo (Friday, Saturday & Sunday), Lord Strathcona Mounted Troop, the West Coast Lumberjack Show, livestock shows and of course, the famous West Coast Amusement midway.

A big thank you goes out to the City of Abbotsford for its strong and continuous support as well as all of you who attend the fair. Agrifair appreciates you and we are looking forward to celebrating our 103rd fair with you!

Ernie Silveri, President, Abbotsford Agrifair

What does everyone want to see at the fair? Animals, of course! Be sure to spend some time at Agrilane and check out the entertaining shows, educational demonstrations and 4-H competitions.

“Rabbit Agility” is a must-see on Saturday, Aug. 3 and Sunday, Aug. 4, as welltrained bunnies hop over appropriately sized obstacles with direction from their enthusiastic handlers.

“It’s a very popular event,” says Sarah Nicholls, agricultural coordinator. “It’s similar to dog agility. The rabbits go up

are welcomed for their National Jr. Shorthorn Show Friday and Saturday.

The donkey and miniature horse in hand competitions will test the animals’ ability to maneuver through and over various obstacles. They will encounter bridges, tarps (simulated water obstacles) and tippy boards being judged on the animal’s willingness to go through the obstacles.

Contestants in the hilarious Pig Scramble contest will each wear a t-shirt displaying a letter of the alphabet. A group of pigs, each displaying matching letters, will be released into the arena. The contestants must find the pig that matches their letter and try to catch it, and those pigs don’t want to be caught! They must be picked up and carried to the centre of the arena. Youngsters aged 10 and under will compete Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and local celebrities will compete on Monday.

There will be lots of opportunities to learn at Agrilane. See common animal care and farming practices such as the sheep shearing demonstration (once daily), milking demonstrations (four times daily) and the horse shoeing demonstration (twice daily).

Also, watch baby chicks hatch before your eyes inside an incubator in the poultry barn. You will also see many different varieties of chickens, ducks and geese, as well as a pigeon display. If you are excited to witness eggs turn to chicks, you will also want to check out the different stages of growth in the BC Poultry in Motion

There will also be an open horse show, including English, western driving and even costume classes.

Have you ever heard of “Campfire or Wheelbarrow” races? If you have, you’ll know how entertaining they are, and if you haven’t, you need to come and see for yourself. In the Campfire Race, two heats of two riders on horses will book it from one end of the arena to the other.

Then they must jump off their steed, take all the tack off and scramble into a sleeping bag. Whoever is the quickest is the winner!

Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo JJ Harrison, this year’s rodeo clown, is one of the world’s best, and was recently the official clown of the Wrangler National Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada.

You will not want to miss the hilarious entertainment and promise of high-energy rodeo events, so be sure to find a seat in the grandstand early.

Originally a public school teacher at Walla Walla in Washington State, this clown with a Masters degree is a kid magnet and a popular performer at many top rodeos. Come out with your kids, enjoy lots of laughs and cheer on your favourite cowboys and cowgirls. Whether you’re an old hat or trying out a new pair of cowboy boots, you’re bound to have fun.

No rodeo would be complete without an enthusiastic, entertaining and professional rodeo announcer, and this year Agrifair is excited to bring on former professional cowboy, Al Parsons. With his extensive rodeo experience, knowledge of the sport and humour, Parsons will bring crowds to their feet.

This year’s Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo promises to be entertaining and exciting as gutsy cowboys fight to stay atop a raging bull or bucking bronc for eight seconds in the bull riding, saddle bronc and bareback riding events, and as fearless cowgirls race their steeds in a cloverleaf

pattern around barrels at top speed in the barrel racing competition. You will also see team roping, steer wrestling and calf roping.

“This is a dual sanctioned event,” says Don Curtis, Mighty Fraser Rodeo committee chair. This means patrons can expect to see top professional cowboys and cowgirls from all over Canada and the United States competing for fast times, big scores and good prize money.

“We’ve got the coolest show planned for Saturday,” said Curtis. An undisclosed, crowd wowing show is scheduled to take place during the rodeo and you’re not going to want to miss it! The only hint given is it will have something to do with Services on Safety and the police, fire and military.

You’ve undoubtedly heard about the terrible flooding in High River, Alberta.

People at Phantom Screens wanted to do their bit in helping to raise money for the folks who are cleaning up after the floods and trying to get back to normal.

That’s why they have teamed up with Graham Wardle, star of CBC’s Heartland, to raise money for High River.

Graham has kindly agreed to appear at the Abbotsford Agrifair to help generate much needed funds for the community.

All proceeds will be deposited to the High

River Relief Fund (http://www.highriver. ca/index.php/en/publicforums/news-forum/news-flash/427-town-sets-up-emergency-relief-fund).

So, if you’d like to meet Wardle, have your picture taken with him or get his autograph, then make sure you’re at the Agrifair on Saturday Aug. 3. Wardle will be there to meet all his fans from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the 4-H barn, and then again from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the entrance to the rodeo. And don’t forget to bring some cash to contribute to the

cause.

You can find out details about the Agrifair www.agrifair.ca and read about Phantom Screen’s commitment to community involvement http://wp.me/p2OIz9-2y.

Rodeo seating, thanks to the generosity of Phantom Screens, is included in the price of gate admission - $12/day adults, $10/day students or seniors or get your four-day weekend pass for only $15 per person and come every day. 10 and under are free. Parking is $5/day.

Hot BC-born country artist

Dallas Smith

Abbotsford will be rockin’ country-style at the Agrifair on the evening of Saturday, Aug. 3, with Langley-born rocker-turned-country Dallas Smith. Agrifair grounds will be brimming with onlookers as this Juno-nominated country singer-songwriter takes the stage at 9:30 p.m.

Dallas Smith is new to the country scene, but no stranger to success in the music business. Formerly the lead vocalist of alternative rock band Default, Smith released four albums, selling over a million copies. Success has stuck with Smith as he jumped right in to the country music scene. The natural twang in his voice made an easy transition from alternative rock to country.

“I am having the time of my life to be honest,” says Smith, as he describes how blessed

he feels having made the transition.

“The support from the country community has been mind-blowing. Also, I’m in the driver’s seat with this project and that helps me create a good balance in my life.”

When asked how he feels about performing locally at Agrifair, Smith says, “It’s great to be able to see so many familiar faces. It’s not very often I can get all my friends and family together in one place.”

Dallas has teamed up with Rodney Clawson, a Grammy-nominated songwriter, and Chris Tompkins (Carrie Underwood) to create a new album which is expected to be released in early 2014.

“With this record I tried to put together a collection of the best songs I could get my hands on. There are some outside songs from writers I am a huge fan of and also co-writes I had with them. The Nashville style of writing was very foreign to me compared to my past.

With Default it would just be the guys and I hanging out and hopefully we’d have ideas.

With this record I was sitting down with guys who do this as a nine-to-five job. It is quite different from what I was used to.”

Eager fans may have an opportunity to hear material from the new album Saturday evening.

“We actually might be trying out one or two new songs. I am excited for that as well. I love watching the reaction of fans to new material.

Crowds don’t lie,” said Smith.

His latest single, Nothing But Summer, released just in time for a promising summer, is all about enjoying carefree summer days and evenings. Come out to Abbotsford Agrifair to do just that! Enjoy a full carefree summer day, snag your spot in the beer gardens early and kick back for a rockin’ country-style summer evening.

Opening for Smith will be the winner of Friday’s Valley Voices competition. The newfound star will perform three or four songs starting at approximately 7:30 p.m., followed

by The Johnson Brothers. Raised in Maple Ridge, The Johnson Brothers (Brett and Trent) have proven to be one of the hardest working bands in the province. Born the grandsons of CCMA Hall of Fame member, Elmer Tippe, and nephews to CCMA and BCCMA award-winner Rick Tippe, the brothers were destined to tackle the country music industry. Their passion for music and high-energy stage show have caught the attention of music lovers and helped set the brothers apart from other acts in the province.

Strathcona Mounted Troop

Witness an important part of Canadian history and enjoy a colourful, musical and active display of equestrian skill and military tradition by the Strathcona Mounted Troop.

Comprised of 20 horses and 25 Royal Canadian soldiers dressed in period uniform, the troops will perform a 35-minute musical ride, including a tent-pegging demonstration, each day throughout the long weekend to commemorate their national military heritage and cavalry traditions. They will perform Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Thunderbowl and on Monday in the Agrifair Arena.

The Strathcona Mounted Troop, originally formed by Donald Smith (Lord Strathcona and Mounted Royal) in the year 1900 during the “wild, wild west” era, was a regiment of cavalry consisting of Canadian cowboys and frontiersmen as well as members of the North West Mounted Police.

This regiment of cowboys and frontiersmen fought bravely on horseback in several small and bloody battles throughout the South African Boer War, with many members

hired as scouts due to their background. As the Second World War approached in 1939, the Strathcona Mounted Troop were disbanded and replaced by heavy armoured cavalry.

In order to preserve its history and keep tradition alive, the current ceremonial Strathcona Mounted Troop (formed in 1977) perform at various fairs and rodeos throughout the country each year.

Twenty-five soldiers proudly volunteer their time for up to two years, caring for their mounts and equipment as well as taking part in training and cavalry drills. During this time they must also carry out active military duties.

Horse maintenance, uniforms and equipment are paid for through the Strathcona Mounted Troop Foundation which relies on the generous donations and honorariums received by its members, service clubs, private individuals, as well as cities and other organizations.

Don’t miss your opportunity to observe this historical event and help keep our living history alive.

Learn how to make Cajun Chicken with Black Bean Succotash, World’s Best Cornbread, Grilled Vegetable Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette, Pear and Blueberry Cobbler, South Western Steak Diane and South Western Steak Salad.

Chef Dez, a certified Red Seal chef, is passionate about food and will be cooking up a storm with another fun, informative and high-energy series of 15 mouth-watering cooking shows over the long weekend.

“Three of the recipes are even gluten-free

and diabetic friendly,” says Chef Dez, who is also a national food columnist and a culinary Instructor at five locations across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, including Lepp Farm Market here in Abbotsford.

This is Chef Dez’s 10th year at Agrifair. His passion for people and food makes his shows entertaining, enjoyable and educational.

Chef Dez will be putting on four shows daily Friday, Saturday and Sunday and three shows on Monday. Make sure you stop by and see what’s cookin’! Look for him on the upper level between the Tradeshow building and Pioneer Corner.

What cuts steel like a hot knife through butter? It’s a tool that rescue services would not be without when it comes to saving lives. It’s called the Jaws of Life, and Agrifair patrons will have an opportunity to witness live on Saturday, Aug. 3 just how this amazing tool works. Not only that, but the Services on Safety show is jammed-packed with all sorts of engaging demonstrations for the family to see.

The Services on Safety show is big this year,” said Melanie Kish, Agrifair office manager. “We have the Jaws of Life coming in, the Roll-Over Simulator and also a Teddy Bear Hospital.” Patrons can also expect to meet Jamie Davis Motor Truck Heavy Recovery & Rescue from the popular A&E series, Highway Thru Hell.

A Jaws of Life extrication demonstration, coordinated with Abbotsford Fire Rescue, will be held at 2 p.m. Aug.3. They will use the tool to cut a car apart and free a ‘live’ volunteer. The patient will be carefully removed from the wreck and secured onto a stretcher as in a real-life situation.

Bring your family and watch as the Roll-Over Simulator demonstrates just what can happen to vehicle occupants who are not wearing seatbelts. This demonstration, hosted

by The Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unit, a unit comprised of the Abbotsford Police Department, Delta Police Department and RCMP members, provides both real-time compelling evidence of the security provided by seatbelts as well as the devastating consequences vehicle occupants are subjected to after being ejected from a vehicle during a roll-over crash.

The simulator is the front end of a car mounted on a trailer that spins around on a vertical axis. During the demonstration crash dummies representing vehicle occupants will be placed inside in both belted and unbelted scenarios. The vehicle will simulate what happens at speeds of 30 to 50 kilometres per hour during a roll-over crash.

Patrons will have an opportunity to practice their own CPR skills during the CPR demonstration.

There will be other static displays to check out as well.

Children, don’t forget to bring your favourite teddy bear or stuffy that needs first aid treatment! Nurses and doctors will be standing by at the Teddy Bear Hospital to take good care of your special friend.

Also, there will be a special 911 kids phone to practice just what to say to the during an emergency situation.

West Coast Lumberjacks and the Demolition Derby

Grab a corn dog, a plate of deep fried pickles or those mini donuts and snag a seat in the stands before they’re gone. Who’s returning to Abbotsford’s Agrifair? They are the people’s favourites: The West Coast Lumberjack Show and the Demolition Derby.

The lumberjack show, featuring big, brawny lumberjacks facing off against each other in tests of strength, speed, accuracy, balance, and skill, represents the thrilling and dangerous forest industry in British Columbia. Roaring crowds cheer on the lumberjacks as they battle each other through a gauntlet of climbing, sawing, chopping and balancing matches.

“We are awesome,” affirms Darren Dean, owner of the West Coast Lumberjack Show. Returning to Agrifair after three seasons away, Darren has planned an action-packed, 45-minute extravaganza to be showcased three times a day throughout the Agrifair long weekend.

“Our lumberjacks were featured on Canada’s Got Talent and Bachelor Canada last year,” remarked Dean. “They also appeared in The Amazing Race Australia.”

It’s been six years since the demolition derby unleashed its automotive carnage on Agrifair grounds and due to popular demand they are back for more car-on-car combat to thrill crowds once again!

“This is a live-action family event that people of all ages like to come and see,” said Ross Edwards, a 45-year-plus veteran of the derby.

“Spectators cheer on their favourite car and see how long it can last.”

This year the derby, a full-contact motor sport, has something special planned.

“We’re bringing out mini-vans to the death!” announced Ross. “There will be half a dozen mini-vans stripped out for a figure-eight race.”

Whether driving forward, backwards or sideways, contestants must out-drive and out-manoeuvre one another to win this race.

The demolition derby, sponsored by Playtime Chances Abbotsford Casino, is scheduled to roar into action on Aug. 5 for an adrenaline-pumping hour of excitement, and the West Coast Lumberjacks face off daily throughout the long weekend.

They are family-friendly, action-packed shows popular among people of all ages.

Fireworks are back Friday night at 10:15 p.m. for a dazzling display you won’t want to miss.

It has been three years since they last lit up the night sky at Agrifair, and due to popular demand they are back for another year.

Weekend pass too good to pass up Fifteen dollars for four full days and nights of family friendly entertainment including three concerts, the Demolition Derby, Lumberjack Show, Carz and More Show, Lego Mania Show, Agriland, Rodeo, Midway, KidZone, Dinosaurs, fireworks and so much more. Where else can you find this much entertainment at such a steal of a price?

There’s something for everyone at Abbotsford Agrifair.

Affordable family fun – you won’t want to miss a moment at “the best little country fair”!

Kids’ pedal tractor pull There are ribbons to be won and prizes to be had at the Pioneer Corner as the Kids’ Pedal Tractor Pull competition gets underway twice daily throughout the long weekend. It isn’t horsing around that will win your kids a prize or ribbon, but they will have to generate as much horsepower as they can to win against their rival competition.

Two heats will compete against each other daily. Contestants will have to use raw muscle strength to drive a pedal tractor down a track while at the same time pulling a weight transfer sled upon which escalated weight will be added. Whoever can pull the sled the farthest is the winner!

Be sure to check out the big tractors. The Fraser Valley Antique Farm Machinery Association will be exhibiting restored heritage tractors as well as antique household items. See a 1930s antique diesel-powered saw mill in action as it cuts raw logs into boards the old-fashioned way. You will also see some antique gasoline engines.

Have you ever gazed down the dairy aisle of your local grocery store and

wondered just how skim milk, 2% milk or your coffee cream was produced? Or have you ever wondered what went into making a rope? Or how grain was separated from the stock and husks of wheat grass? Well, here’s your chance to find out. Cream separating, rope-making and thrashing machine demonstrations will be shown twice daily. This is a great educational and eye-opening experience for those of us who simply head over to the local convenience or hardware store to buy what we need.

Back in 1889, Abbotsford began as a small farming community and now has grown to produce over 70 per cent of B.C.’s dairy, berries, vegetables, poultry, eggs, pork, greenhouse vegetables, mushrooms, floriculture and nursery products. Agriculture was what gave Abbotsford its kick-start and it continues to be a big business that keeps Abbotsford flourishing.

Pioneer Corner will take you back in time to when good old-fashioned farming techniques and machinery helped deliver and sustain agriculture in our city. Be sure to check it out.

‘Show off and compete’ and ‘create and play’ Calling all car builders, car enthusiasts, LEGO builders and people of all ages with imaginations who want to create! Whether you want to show off your handiwork and finished project or you want to have fun and discover your creative side, the Abbotsford Agrifair is providing opportunities to ‘show off and compete’ and ‘create and play’ with the Carz and More car show and the LEGO Mania show. No matter what your age, there will be lots of fun things to do and cool things to see.

Car enthusiasts will be revving up in anticipation of the Carz and More show for four days of “everything to do with cars” excitement.

First out of the gate on Aug. 2 is Vintage Day, a showcase of non-modified, pre-1973 cars and trucks, followed by SOS: Services on Safety on Aug. 3, featuring current and vintage emergency vehicles.

The Aug. 4 show, Planes, Trains and Automobiles:

Anything with Wheels, will exhibit a variety of wheeled and winged machines, and finally on Aug. 5, Hot Rods, Sports Cars and Super Cars will present a collection of expensive and luxurious cars.

If you own a cool car or a cool thing on wheels and want to get in on the $500 jackpot, plus an opportunity to show off your baby, call 604-852-6674 or visit www. agrifair.ca to get your entry form.

A giant LEGO creation will also be in the works throughout the long weekend. Brickville DesignWorks, an interactive company that creates giant sculptures and custom creations out of LEGO, is planning a big build among other creative fun for people of all ages.

Construction will begin on Aug. 2 and continue through to the end of the fair, so be sure to keep checking in to witness the various stages of progress. Return Sunday afternoon to see the final creation.

Drop someone in the dunk tank!

Here’s your chance to show off your muscle, test your aim and participate in all sorts of family fun activities at KidZone, located in the grassy area near the A & D Music community stage. This is the place to cool off and have fun at the same time.

Whether you are an observer or want to get in on the action, PLAYABBY is putting out some fun cool-down water challenges for patrons of all ages. Test your aim and drop your favourite, or least favourite person, in the ice-cold dunk tank or be the fastest water gun in the wild, wild west in the Downpour Derby. Be sure to

fill up the bucket over your opponent’s head before they fill up yours or prepared to be doused! There is lots of water fun to be had for all ages.

Even if you don’t plan on getting wet at the fair, KidZone is offering a slew of free, fun and interactive activities for all ages in a safe, family friendly environment. Even parents will have a chance to enjoy a game of mini-golf while the children play and dig in the giant sandbox with toys, or take a ride on the ponies.

For those big and strong patrons, or those best

Enjoy the

friends who just want to see who’s the strongest, test your muscle in the High Striker Game and ring that bell! Or give it all you got and attempt to break a board or learn some martial arts moves with Sun Hang Do. Younger kids can take part in the Horsey Hop obstacle course races, the Bouncy Castle and the Penguin Toss.

If you ever wondered how it would feel to run in a hamster ball, here is your chance! GAMES 2 U will also be bringing their mobile entertainment, including their inflatable, human-sized hamster balls!

Rugby teams Celebrity battle it out judges seek

‘Valley Voice’

Over 20 men’s and women’s teams in three divisions will compete in the Abbotsford Kukri Sevens Abbotsford Rugby Club tournament on Saturday, Aug. 3 at Exhibition Park.

This year the annual tournament is ecstatic to piggyback on the crowds attracted annually by Abbotsford’s renowned Agrifair, drawing a new audience to the fair and sport alike.

If you haven’t heard the terms ruck, maul, scrum or lineout, here is your chance to find out what it’s all about. Rugby Sevens, a fast-paced game played around the world, debuts in the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Dating back to the 1800s, Sevens is adapted from the original Fifteen’s format (15 players on the field). Although only being accepted by the IOC in 2009, Rugby Sevens is already one of the world’s fastest growing sports, simply because it is one of the fastest sports in the world. The real appeal is that it is spectator-friendly, demanding no prior knowledge of the sport to feel the sheer excitement and gratification a 15-minute game can provide. This format gives new spectators and seasoned professionals a chance to appreciate different teams, divisions and skill levels, in a one-day, action-packed tournament.

“The tournament will be great entertainment,” said Anthony Hirschman, tournament coordinator. “It will be good for both kids and adults.”

Sports fanatics and curious on-lookers should be sure to come out and enjoy the sun and festivities.

Cheer teams on from the beer garden or observe from the sidelines for a high-speed, thrilling and totally entertaining display of athleticism.

Three matches will be scheduled simultaneously at various times throughout the day Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. until approximately 6 p.m.

A sing-off to a professional live band will set the stage as five celebrity judges crown this year’s winner of the Valley Voices Vocal Competition at the Abbotsford Agrifair on the evening of Friday, Aug. 2.

“The winner of this competition will be a star for a year,” said Darcy D, co-founder of the Valley Voices Vocal Competition (VVVC), which has helped facilitate the development of numerous music careers.

“The grand prize winner will receive voice sessions with world famous voice coaches such as Dave Stroud (Natasha Beddingfield, Cee Lo Green and Adam Lambert) and Raab Stevenson (Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Kelly Rowland).”

Young amateur voice talent from all over B.C. have been busy honing their vocal techniques in hopes of becoming one of 15 finalists in the Valley Voice Vocal Competition and ultimately being crowned the Valley Voice of 2013. Fifteen finalists have been selected from two categories, junior (seven to 12 years) and senior (13 to 18 years).

All finalists are showcased on Facebook where fans can view video performances and cast their vote by ‘Liking’ their favourite artist.

“Contestants will gather Likes which will become part of the voting statistics,” explained Darcy. “The live audience (at Agrifair on Aug. 2) can also vote. All of the votes will be added to the panel votes.”

This will be the fifth season Valley Voices has entertained at Agrifair.

“The entertainment and showcase of talent Valley

Voices brings to our community’s fair is absolutely amazing! We are looking forward to another great year,” said Ernie Silveri, Agrifair president.

The 15 aspiring finalists will contend for the title of Valley Voice 2013 throughout the day Aug. 2 beginning at 11 a.m. on Agrifair’s community stage until the top three finalists from each category are selected at 6:30 p.m.

A special performance by last year’s winner, Bailey Alexis, will kick off the final show at 8:30 p.m. on the concert stage where the remaining contenders will sing off to a live band to win their category. Out of these only one will be crowned 2013’s Valley Voice. The winner will be announced at 10:15 p.m.

The five celebrity judges include Kenny Jones of SONiC Nation; Troy Samson, producer of Snoop Dog and Canadian Idol; Tara Lett, co-founder and creative director of AMP Records, The Future Label; Phil Lehmann, co- founder of AMP Records, The Future Label and sought-after songwriter, producer, and mixer; and Kylee Epp, country pop artist, nominated for four BCCMA awards in 2012.

For all your insurance needs.
