17 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE On behalf of the Erin Agricultural Society, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 169th Erin Fair. Agriculture continues to be a huge part of our local area. In fact, Wellington County has over 2,500 farms and employment in agriculture accounts for close to 6,000 jobs. The Erin Fair is a wonderful opportunity to share and promote our farms, our livestock, our crops and our community. For many of you, the Erin Fair is part of your family’s Thanksgiving Weekend tradition - it is always a great place to see familiar faces and to catch-up on what you and your family have been doing over the past year. I am always amazed at how far people travel (year after year) to visit our Fair. Whether as an exhibitor, an entertainer, a vendor, a participant, a volunteer or simply a visitor – we would like to welcome you back and thank you for returning. Your participation in and enthusiasm for the Erin Fair is infectious. It serves as reminder of why this event is so important and why our directors and volunteers commit so much time and energy to host the Erin Fair every year. For those of you who are visiting the Erin Fair for the first time - welcome! We hope you enjoy your time here and that this year marks the start of a new family tradition for you! While you are at the Erin Fair, we hope you take in our numerous attractions, visit the midway, meet some farm animals, learn a new farm fact in our Ag Awareness tent, watch a show and, of course, eat an apple dumpling or two! I am pleased to share two exciting changes for Fair visitors this year. We have erected a tented, outdoor entertainment venue that will allow us to seat up to 1,000 people and our entertainment committee has worked very hard to book a variety of acts that will keep you entertained throughout the day and well into the evening. Please visit www.erinfair.com to see a complete list of our exciting line-up. We would also like to encourage our younger guests and their families to visit our much larger petting farm, just to your right as you enter the main gates. In this exciting new space, children have the opportunity to get up close and personal with farm animals and take a pony ride - we hope you take advantage of this opportunity to visit our furry and feathered friends. On behalf of the many volunteers, who work countless hours, throughout the year, to make sure that the grounds are ready, the hall is welcoming and the Fair runs successfully, I welcome you to the 2019 Erin Fall Fair. Rod Perry 2019 EAS President

26 AMBASSADOR OF THE FAIR’S MESSAGE Hi everyone! I’m Megan and I am the 2018- 2019 Erin fall fair Sr. Ambassador. This past year has been the most amazing experience for me. I have had the opportunity to meet so many new friends from our fair board and neighbouring fair boards. I have made so many amazing memories from fair weekend and other events. I attended many different meetings throughout the year to discuss Erin Fair and area fairs, I also attended different Ambassador workshops throughout this year and met fellow ambassadors from all over Ontario. I would like to thank all of the unbelievable members of the Erin Agricultural Society and volunteers who help to make our beloved Erin Fall Fair run smoothly every Thanksgiving weekend, rain or shine. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication and hard work to put on such a huge and successful event. This event brings together all of the different parts of our community, in celebration of our beloved town, that is so rich in history and tradition. It has been such an unbelievable honour to have been the Erin Fall Fair senior ambassador this past year and I am so excited to see who will be the next person to take part in this amazing experience! Megan Robart-Morgan

27 JUNIOR AMBASSADOR’S MESSAGE Hello, my name is Natalie Klein. I am so proud to represent the Erin Fall Fair as the Junior Ambassador for 2018-2019. My year has been very exciting so far and I have made so many new friends, while having the experience of a lifetime. Fair weekend activities such as riding on the sled for the tractor pull, counting laps for the Demolition Derby, running the Horseless Jumps in the Equine Tent and handing out ribbons at livestock shows kept Megan and I very busy. To complete each day, I was able to have lots of rides in the Midway with my family & friends. We also took part in Cookie and Cake decorating, the Baby Show and learned to make apple dumplings. My favourite part of the entire weekend was drawing the winner for the 50/50 raffle and handing out awards for Homecraft classes. Since last fall, the experiences continued with the District 7 meeting, driving an antique tractor for the Santa Claus parade and the Homecraft Christmas party. I attended the President’s Reception and the photo shoot with Pam Breese was awesome. Still to come this summer, I will be flipping pancakes for the Cowboy Breakfast on Horse Day and attending other fairs, proudly wearing my sash and crown. I would highly recommend and encourage other young people to enter the Ambassador Competition, as it is a great learning experience. I would also like to thank the Ambassador committee for all of their hard work during the year to make all of this happen.

93 HOMECRAFT PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

It is once again my pleasure to welcome you to the 169th year of the Erin Fall Fair. This year’s Fair book is filled with new ideas that go along with our theme “Bounty from the County”. It allows your creativity to be endless. Please take a minute to review the rules and regulations for entering something in the Homecraft Division. The judges adhere to these rules as well and we want you to be sure you understand the requirements. If you need clarification for something please contact the committee head and they can assist you. This being my second year as the Homecraft President has once again been filled with wonderful memories. This group of ladies work extremely hard all year long in whatever venture is thrown at them. I want to take a minute to thank them all for sticking behind me for the last two years. They will be busy making the famous dumplings soon so be sure to stop by the Cafe for one or two or even three we won’t judge, they are just that good. At this time I want to thank the EAS members and all of the volunteers that put in countless hours prior to the fair, the planning, setting up and making sure things are running smoothly all weekend long. If you are interested in helping out at any point prior to the fair or during reach out to an executive member, many hands make light work. Get your exhibits ready, we will be waiting for you. Remember it’s YOUR fair to be a part of. Robin Brooks 2019 EAS Homecraft President
