Ambassador’s Message
Krista Fraser
2013/2014 Fergus Fall Fair Ambassador I would like to welcome everyone to our 178th annual Fergus Fall Fair! My year as the 2013/2014 Fergus Fall Fair Ambassador is one that I will cherish forever. The people I have had the opportunity to meet and work with are truly amazing. I have learned so many life lessons and had experiences one could only dream of. Being an ambassador for agriculture and promoting the farming way of life through various events around the province has sure made me appreciate my roots. I am proud to have grown up on the family dairy farm. Agriculture has always been a part of my life and it has been such an honour to share my thoughts and my experiences with those who have grown up in the urban area. Looking back on the memories I have made since September, I cannot help but smile! I have made friendships that will last a lifetime and participated in various events that gave me an unforgettable experience. The opportunity of being Fergus Fall Fair Ambassador has been a tremendous journey. I have enjoyed all of the community events along with meeting so many new people that I know will continue to support me and continue to teach me. I have been so thankful to be a part of the Fergus Agricultural Society. The members are fantastic people who have welcomed me with open arms and warm smiles. Thank you to the Centre Wellington community for all of your donations and continuous support over the years to keep our fair alive and well. Thank you to everyone on the ambassador committee and past ambassadors for your amazing guidance and assistance. I also have to thank my family and friends as they have been a great support system every step of the way. Everyone does such a great job to support and make the Fergus Fall Fair so successful. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. We will be celebrating our 178th anniversary with the theme “Tractors and Tailgates!” I hope to see everyone out at the Fergus Fall Fair September 12th, 13th and 14th to experience your local agricultural community first hand! Sincerely,
Krista Fraser 2013/2014 Fergus Fall Fair Ambassador
