Page 1 President's Message As I’m writing this it is early May and we haven’t yet seen a tractor in the field. Harvest- harvest festivities- and the Thorndale Fall Fair seem so far away. I know that as soon as I blink September will be here! In the spring farmers plant hope in the form of seeds. Hope for a good growing season, warm weather, sufficient rainfall, and hey - hope for no rain when the kids have sports tournaments! We are watching, waiting, hoping that the fall will produce abundant yields, and a reason to celebrate. We on the Thorndale Agricultural Society are also planting seeds of hope in the spring. A successful fall fair counts on hard work behind the scenes- contacting sponsors, updating the prize book, booking acts and reaching out to community partners- all in preparation for that magical weekend in September when all of Thorndale and area comes together to celebrate US! If this will be your first Thorndale Fair or your sixtieth
