102nd Annual Acton Fall Fair, 2015 Page 4

President’s Message In 1912 the town of Acton committed to supporting a Fair; that commitment has not waived through war, depression, foul weather or leaving home. In 1913 the first Acton Fall Fair was held and this September our town will host its 102nd Fair. The fair is not just a tradition for Acton but a pivotal event in the social calendar, the time when family and neighbours come together. Renew acquaintances, make new friends and feel proud of our community.

No event such as a Fair happens overnight or without much effort and planning. Our fair is a year in the making, the combined work of many hands, people who volunteer from Acton, Rockwood, Ballinafad, Limehouse, Milton, Georgetown, etc. Collectively all the hands come together to offer those who visit our fair with a range of entertainment. Well worth the price of admission! There are exhibits such as needlework, plants and flowers, children’s work, baking, photography and antiques to be seen in the Acton Agricultural Society Building. The building is also the venue for entertainment such as the Baby Show and Miss Acton. On the grounds you will find the Agricultural Awareness tent where there are animals to see and information to be had. Other tents hold a petting zoo and a sanctioned poultry competition. Wander around and you will find horse shows, 4H competitions, truck and tractor pulls, cattle competitions, dog show, etc. While you are at it, there are vendors to visit, a mid-way and beer tent to enjoy. Along the way, friends and neighbours to greet and catch up with.

By the way, there is also a Parade, be sure to check it out, we will be waving at you! Then make your way to Prospect Park where we can all “Go Hog Wild at the Acton Fair”.

See you there,

Kathryn Lynch Kathryn Lynch, President

Miss Acton Fall Fair Message Welcome to the 2015 Acton Fall Fair! Over the past year, I have had the honour of representing the Acton Agricultural Society and my hometown, Acton. I have had many privileges this year including taking part in local and agricultural events such as the Santa Clause Parade, Remembrance Day Processional, OAAS Convention, local farmers market and many more. As well, I have participated in fundraisers such as the Erin Fall Fair cake auction.

All of these opportunities, including being involved with the Acton Agricultural Society, have been an amazing trip as I have gained confidence, knowledge, and experience. These opportunities are a once in a lifetime offer and I will carry them with me as I move forward in my future. The Acton Agricultural Society has been a group to remember as they have given so much support through my Miss Acton journey, and I have created some lifelong friendships. The society has offered me so many great experiences and for that I am forever grateful.

I would encourage anyone and everyone eligible, to participate in the 2015 Miss Acton Pageant as it is more than just one night. Experiencing the Miss Acton Pageant you will learn many valuable skills that you will use the rest of your life such as public speaking, interview skills, confidence and much more.

I am more than excited to see everyone at the upcoming fair, and I look forward to crowning the new Miss Acton 2015-2016.

Sincerely,

Karoline Fontanna Karoline Fontanna Miss Acton Fall Fair 2014-2015

52nd 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 inter act 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.

However, attendance at all events is not mandatory. She is expected to attend the fair for the en tire weekend, 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 onfidence 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
