Message from the President

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

This year will be the 148th consecutive Fall Fair held in Beaver Valley. Last year we tried some new ideas at our fair. This, coupled with excellent weather, created a great day and enjoyed by all who attended. This year we have added even more attractions and should be fun for all ages.

We strive to balance between traditional and modern attractions that cater to children and adults alike. We have added some new inflatables and you can try your hand at axe throwing. We will have the wood carving guy back and you'll need to check out the number of vendors set-up in the arena and outside. Lots of music and food and to cap it off the roast beef dinner on Saturday night.

Of course this day would not be as special without the donations from our Sponsors and the hard work from our directors and volunteers. If you want to get involved, just let us know.

We sure hope to see you out at this year’s Fall Fair, a truly community event.

Over the 2017-2018 year I had the opportunity to be the ambassador of the Beaver Valley Agricultural Society. I participated in many events from handing out ribbons at the fair and participating in many fair events to attending convention at the Royal York in Toronto. My name is Mikaela Adams, I live on the outskirts of Meaford along with my parents and brother! I am an active member in 4H showing cattle and am going to be attending Ridgetown College in the fall of 2018. In the summer of 2018 I will have the opportunity to attend the CNE for the first time representing our amazing fair. Along with all of the fellow ambassadors I have met at various functions this past year we will have a great time at the CNE. I have had an amazing time being the ambassador and I hope to see many competitors in the ambassador competition this year! Thank you to the McKague family for taking me to convention and to all of the members of the committee and to the volunteers of the Beaver Valley Fall Fair. I also wish to thank all of the sponsors who are so supportive and give their time and lovely gifts to the competitors.

26 2017 SPONSORS The Beaver Valley Agricultural Society would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one who donated to the 2017 Fall Fair. We gratefully accept and acknowledge all donations and look forward to seeing you at the Fair

At its core, Pair Bond Training is more about the human than the horse. Marina teaches people how to work with the horse’s natural instincts, and how to make empowering passive leadership decisions that allow a deep bond, trust, and willing attitude to flourish between horse and handler. This is all done at liberty, in a large space, so that the horse can escape the human’s influence if desired. The end result is a horse that truly takes care of his or her human, whether in the saddle or on the ground. Demonstration to take place at 11:00 am in the ball diamond

Roadside Display Challenge Help us spread the word about one of the oldest and greatest events in Town! Take us up on this challenge by creating a display to tell passersby about the Fair. Judging of the displays will take place two weeks before the fair – displays must be up and complete by that date. Contest rules: Displays must be up and visible from the road by two weeks prior to the fair when they will be judged, and must remain up until the fair is over. They must include the words ‘Beaver Valley Fall Fair’ as well as the date and place of the fair, and incorporate a rural theme. Displays will be judged based on creativity, relevance to the fair, “curb appeal”, and effort put into creating them. For more information or to register, please contact Emily McKague at 519-599-2348
