It’s hard to believe that our fair, being the largest four day fair in Canada, began as a group of farmers who met regularly to discuss topics such as crop improvement and herd health. What was once a small competition among farmers showcasing their crops from harvest has since grown into the wide range of entries and educational displays we see today. Markham Fair is a proud country tradition that continues to teach our younger genera- tions about the importance agriculture plays in our every day lives. As our community grows, we look to add new attractions and ideas each year into our fair to encourage those new members to join in our annual tradition. Whether it’s the home craft dis- plays, the livestock shows, or the excitement of the Monster Trucks roaring over top of cars, there truly is something for everyone young and old. All of this, of course, would not be possible without the many committee members and volunteers who give countless hours towards the organizing of the fair. Our displays and livestock shows would not be possible without the participants who dedicate their time into bringing animals, produce, crafts, or cherished antiques to the fair. I would like to extend a sincere thank-you to all for bringing life to our buildings, and reminding us of our heritage. As part of our mission statement, “to honour our traditions for decades to come”, I invite you to join in the fun at this year’s fair, and create a new family tradition if it isn’t one already!
