101st Annual Acton Fall Fair, 2014 Page 4

President’s Message A century has passed since the town of Acton hosted its first fall fair. In 2014 we move into our second century of this annual social event. It is our 101st Anniversary and we are celebrating with chocolate. For 2014 the theme is “Chocolate 101 - An Acton a’Fair.”

I’ve been asked what does chocolate have to do with Agriculture as practiced here is Ontario? Perhaps not much if you don’t consider the dairy component of the treat, but what we are celebrating is tradition and community and what better way than with Chocolate?

There is something for everyone at the Fair. Out on the grounds find the Agricultural Awareness Tent, award winning Poultry, 4H Cattle competitions, midway, beer tent, highway truck and garden tractor pulls, horse competitions, food and so much more. Come into the building where you will find entertainment, including the Friday evening Miss Acton Competition, the Saturday Baby Show and all the various Homecraft entries including: Baking, Antiques, Photography, Plants and Flowers, Field Crops, canning and preserves, wine, needlework, quilts, school work, junior work, etc. An array of things to see, enjoy and be part of. Well worth our time and the price of admission. So come and join us, your friends and neighbours, the volunteers who put on the Fair who work all year to organize and plan, it would not be “the Best Little Fair in Ontario” without you.

Be sure to check out our website at www.actonfair.ca. Review the prize book, something for everyone! And one more thing, in celebration of chocolate, be sure to come out to play Chocolate Bar Bingo in the Dufferin Centre building in Prospect Park, on Sunday, July 13 and again on Sunday, August 17, from 1pm to 3pm. Admission is, what else, chocolate bars!

See you September 19, 20 and 21 at our 101st Acton Fall Fair.

Miss Acton Fall Fair Message Welcome to the 2014 Acton Fall Fair! As the 50th Miss Acton ambassador, I have had the honour of representing my hometown of Acton and the Acton Agricultural Society at many events throughout the year. These privileges include being involved in the local Farmer’s Market, Remembrance Day Processional, Santa Claus Parade and Winter Carnival, to name just a few. Additionally I have been able to attend events in other communities such as, Erin’s Cake Decorating Fundraiser, Caledon’s SnowFest Ambassador Challenge and the OAAS Convention.

Being involved in the Acton Agricultural Society has been such an incredible experience in so many ways – the knowledge, experience and confidence that you gain is a once in a life time opportunity. The Society has been nothing but supportive throughout my time as Miss Acton, and they are a hard-working, dedicated family that has offered me so many great experiences and a warm welcome.

I would, without a doubt, encourage anyone considering running for Miss Acton to go through with it. It is a very unique experience, and you will gain many valuable skills from doing so. I am looking forward to seeing everyone this year to celebrate the crowning of our newest Miss Acton, and the 101st Annual Acton Fall Fair!

Sincerely, Jordan Lenz Miss Acton Fall Fair 2013-2014

51st Miss Acton Fall Fair Pageant Contestants must be at least 16 years of age and live in Acton, Limehouse, Ballinafad or Rockwood areas, or attend Acton High School. The stage is set for the crowning of the 51st Miss Acton Fall Fair. The event has undergone a lot of major changes in the past 50 years, but the idea behind Miss Acton has remained the same: an opportunity to represent Acton and the Acton Agricultural Society, to meet new people and learn about the town and yourself.

To clarify some frequently asked questions: •

•

The event is NOT a beauty pageant, but rather a viewing of the contestants on their ability to interact with other people and to speak in front of a group The judging consists of four separate components:

1. A private 5 minute interview with the judges (contestants talk about themselves and their thoughts on

Acton & the fair) 2. A walk across the stage (a biography of each contestant is read – compiled from an outline at the rehearsal) 3.

A brief speech is given by each contestant (the speech is not intended to be a test in composition, research or writing skills it is .merely a point at which you will present yourself to the audience and speak about a topic that you have pre-selected – the available topics represent a wide range of areas.

Assistance with the writing of the content is available from the committee)

4. An impromptu question is answered on stage (all questions will be distributed on Thursday night at

the rehearsal; your only surprise will be which one you select)

Once a Miss Acton is chosen, she will participate in a variety of functions throughout the year. How ever, attendance at all events is not mandatory. She is expected to attend the fair for the entire week end, but the number of additional events does lessen as the year progresses. (ie one to two invitations per month are received)

In addition to the pride of representing the Acton Agricultural Society and the town of Acton, this opportunity holds several other benefits:

- - -

Employment opportunities are a regular occurrence.

Numerous contacts are made within other communities The gift list has totalled in excess of $2000 over the past few years

Being Miss Acton is a wonderful experience that will follow you throughout your entire life. The confidence and self esteem you will build throughout the year will become invaluable as you move toward your future goals. Most of all however, it is a lot of fun!

All contestants who enter will benefit from the experience of speaking in front of a crowd and getting to meet and make new friends and contacts. In addition each contestant is given a gift from one of the local businesses and a weekend pass for the Fall Fair.

You can sign up early by contacting Dominique Evans-Zeldin at missactonfallfair@hotmail.com

The program offers youth the opportunity to participate in over 60 different projects, which help them to learn new skills, gain selfconfidence, improve self esteem, make new friends and most importantly, have fun. 4-H participants are encouraged to “Learn to do by doing” through the projects they must complete for each club.

Purpose of 4-H Clubs: The primary purpose of the 4-H program is the personal development of youth in rural Ontario.

The program is coordinated by the ministry of Agriculture and Food, however, the goals of the 4-H program are achieved through the dedicated efforts of local volunteer leaders. 4-H members, leaders, parents, and the Ministry, wish to thank the Acton Agricultural Society for sponsoring the 4-H clubs which hold their achievement programs at the annual fall fair.
