President’s Message Welcome everyone. It is hard to believe we are entering our 182nd year of the Fergus Fall Fair. It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to our wonderful event. It is even more exciting than ever as we celebrate our theme as “Country Roots”. Over the course of the year our many committees have been working hard to bring you some of the best displays, activities and events we can offer, geared perfectly for families as well as children young and old. I would personally like to thank each and every Sponsor from in and around our community as well as our Fair Book advertisers. Without your support and generous contributions, we would not be able to host such a wonderful event year after year. Many thanks also go out to all the volunteers, committee members and directors who spend countless hours working through out the year to pull this event together. Please join us in celebrating this amazing event our Community hosts on the 3rd weekend in September. It is always an excellent time.

Ambassador’s Message

Emma Allen

2017/2018 Fergus Fall Fair Ambassador As my time as the 2017/2018 Fergus Fall Fair Ambassador comes to an end, I am excited to pass down my title at this year’s fair with our theme “Country Roots”. I was very privileged and honoured to be able to represent the Fergus Agricultural Society throughout various events this past year. I was able to expand my knowledge of agriculture and share my experiences with the community. It is very rewarding to share the importance of agriculture at the local fair, and especially with youth in the community. During my reign as ambassador, I have had the opportunity to attend different agricultural events locally and provincially. This has allowed me to meet numerous other young agricultural leaders that have guided me through this journey. I am very thankful to have been able to meet these other ambassadors over the past year. I truly enjoy being a representative of Centre Wellington. I would like to thank all those who volunteered, participated in and attended the Fergus Fall Fair. Without the support of the community, our local fair would not be such a success. Local fairs are an excellent opportunity to bring the community together in a very unique way. It is also a way for many families in the area to display their handicrafts, baking, and livestock in a fun family friendly setting. I sincerely thank the Fergus Agricultural Society for the assistance and leadership during my time as ambassador. As well, thank you to the ambassador committee and past ambassadors for their support and guidance throughout the year. I hope many of you are able to attend this year’s fair and show off your “Country Roots”. Sincerely,
