Mayor’s Message

President’s Message

On behalf of Mapleton Township Council, I would like to welcome everyone to our community and to the 155th Drayton Fair.

Welcome to the 2011 Drayton Summer Fair. This year marks our 155th Fair. This year’s theme is ‘FARMING THROUGH THE YEARS’.

This annual rural tradition, dating back to 1856, has provided the opportunity for local residents to demonstrate their agricultural, culinary and artistic talents in a friendly, competitive atmosphere. It has now grown into a weekend of competition, fun and entertainment for the entire family’s enjoyment.

We have a full line up of events including livestock shows, midway attractions and displays. Farm play area and agricultural awareness for children of all ages! The truck and tractors pulls and demolition derby are always a favorite. New this year, is an Arm Wrestling Competition.

I would also like to extend Council’s appreciation to all of the community volunteers who work so diligently with the Drayton Mapleton Agricultural Society to make the Drayton Fair an annual success.

We hope you will join us at the “fair grounds” for this year’s annual event.

Bruce Whale, Mayor

I would like to thank our endless list of volunteers that help with all the activities. We have numerous advertisers and sponsors in our book, so please support them. The board of Directors and myself welcome you all to the Drayton Fair.

Ambassador of the Fair Message Being an Ambassador this past year has made for one of the best experiences of my life.

This opportunity brings you closer not only to those in your community, but allows you to make friendships that will last a lifetime.

After travelling to the District Seven meetings and the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies convention in Toronto I have met so many representatives and ambassadors from societies all over the province I am sure to be close with for years to come.

I would like to thank the Drayton Mapleton Agricultural Society, Shelda Morphy in particular for being a fabulous ambassador director, for keeping this competition going and allowing me this wonderful year. With the CNE ahead and my stint as ambassador coming to a close, I can only encourage the youth of this community to participate in future fairs and ambassador competitions.

This is not merely a one time, soon to be forgotten event. The memories will be with me for undoubtedly years after the sash is passed. Your hometown speaks to who we are, so why not become involved with your community?

I can say nothing but positives about this past year and cannot stress how much I will value these memories for the rest of my life.

Penmanship, on 81/2” X 11” paper - NO PRINTING – use this verse: September

By Helen Hunt Jackson

The Goldenrod is yellow; The corn is turning brown; The trees in apple orchards With fruit are bending down.

The gentian’s bluest fringes Are curling in the sun; In dusky pods the milkweed Its hidden silk has spun.

The sedges flaunt their harvest In every meadow-nook; And asters by the brookside Make asters in the brook.

From dewy lanes at morning The grape’s sweet odors rise; At noon the roads a flutter With yellow butterflies.

By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer’s best of weather, And autumn’s best of cheer

8. WRITE the following with pen, on lined, 3-ringed binder paper: All Through the ‘Thirties

by Roy Daniells

The sandy cat by the Farmer’s chair

Mews at his knee for dainty fare; Old Rover in his moss-greened house Mumbles a bone, and barks at a mouse.

In the dewy fields the cattle lie Chewing the cud ‘neath a fading sky; Dobbin at manger pulls his hay: Gone is another summer’s day.

GRADE 3

6. WRITE, in cursive, the following on lined paper: from If You’re Not From the Prairie

by David Bouchard If you’re not from the prairie,

You’ve not heard the grass, You’ve never heard grass.

In strong summer winds, the grains and grass bend And sway to a dance that seems never to end.

It whispers its secrets – they tell of this land And the rhythm of life played by nature’s own hand.

If you’re not from the prairie, You’ve never heard grass.

All through the ‘thirties, south of Saskatoon, A farmer farmed a farm without a crop.

Dust filled the air, the lamp was lit at noon, And never blade of wheat that formed a top.

One New Year’s to the hired man he said, “I have no money. You must take the deeds.

And I will be the hired man instead, To shovel snow and fork the tumbleweeds.”

So it was done. And when the next year came, “Take back your farm,” the other had to say.

And year by year, alternate, just the same Till the War came and took them both away.

With such superb resource and self-possession Canada made it through the long depression.

GRADES 7 AND 8

GRADE 4

9. WRITE the following with pen, on lined, 3-ringed binder paper: from The Old Farm Woman Examines Her Thoughts

by Grace Butcher

What comes through now

From the warm dark of the barn comes the velvety nicker of the old horse; the cats tease and twist around my legs.

I have become a good herder of chickens.

If they do not head for the coop by dusk, I walk behind them quietly and skillfully and move them towards sleep.

Powerfully I climb the vertical ladder to the hayloft, toss the sweet hay easily through the small opening.

The cats dash between my footsteps, but my feet go always to the right spot.

7. WRITE the following on lined, 3-ringed binder paper: is the quarrel and twitter of guinea hens, the sudden noise and muttering of the white ducks, The Cow in Apple Time the sawing apart of the air by the roosters.

by Robert Frost Something inspires the only cow of late To make no more of a wall than an open gate, And think no more of wall-builders than fools.

Her face is flecked with pomace and she drools A cider syrup. Having tasted fruit, She scorns a pasture withering to the root.

She runs from tree to tree where lie and sweeten The windfalls spiked with stubble and worm-eaten.

She leaves them bitten when she has to fly.

She bellows on a knoll against the sky.

Her udder shrivels and the milk goes dry.
