PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
I can’t believe I am writing another “President’s
Message” - this is number five - time has just flown by!
The Grand Valley Agricultural Society is now 141
years old & the “Wheels” of time are moving fast. Technology
is becoming the way of communicating & we are right there
with our website, an updated address file for all our sponsors/
contacts plus facebook & twitter. Do check out our website at
www.grandvalleyfallfair.ca for information about all our events.
The brand new event this year is our Demolition Derby
Cross which will be on the Friday night. This event has ramps,
jumps & turns which will definitely give more thrills for your
money.
The Farmer Olympics organized by the Dufferin Junior
Farmers will be back again this year at a new location on the
Derby track - it is fun for ages 17 & up.
Last year we had a first for us as the “Upper Canada
Two Cylinder Club Show”(John Deere Club) hosted their show
July 27 - 29, 2012. It was just amazing to see approximately
200 John Deere and Case tractors out there on the soccer field. The Ag Soc hosted a sold out roast
beef dinner catered by Marie’s Valley Inn Restaurant & we have decided to sell the dinner tickets by
timed seatings - so get your tickets early. The John Deere weekend will be back again this year July
26 - 28 with special guests, Ford Tractors & Equipment.
Last year, we had great success with our data program that gave us information on each & every
class entry. The exciting part was the printing of the cheques for our exhibitors which saved hours of
time. Our Treasurer, Cathy Rooyakkers, was excited about this program & it will be streamlined even
more this year. We are planning to pay out the Junior Work winners on Sunday afternoon. If you are
willing to help stuff envelopes with prize winning money, please let me know.
We have already started our fundraising for 2013 with the “Spring Fling” that featured “Two of
a Kind” music. The delicious dinner was “Katered by Kelly” & then we danced the night away to 50’s
& 60’s music.
The Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) is comprised for 15 districts in the
province. We are one of the 24 Fairs in District 5 which covers an area from Georgian Bay to Lake
Ontario to Oro to Sutton to Markham. In District 5, there are the small fairs, like us, right up to the
Canadian National Exhibition. At every meeting I have attended the same problems arise: getting
younger people to become active members of our Societies. The Fairs are suffering because of the age
gap & the lack of interest in keeping these Agricultural Fairs viable. We need your help with anything
from set up duties to admission takers to children’s games to demo derby worker, etc. - it isn’t always
heavy work but fun, meeting & greeting people who are interested in our Grand Valley Fall Fair & want
to get to know who we are & how we work. I look forward to meeting & welcoming you to our Society.
The “Grand River Rodeo” will be held at the Grand Valley Fairgrounds on Aug 16 - 18,
2013 so plan to attend to learn about the heavy horse pull, team penning, roping & riding. There will
be vendors & a dance on the Sat. night in the Arena.
We have a full slate of events this year & I’m sure you will not be able to see it all - that is a
challenge for everyone.
As you know, I don’t go anywhere that I don’t have a good time so enjoy, reminisce, laugh,
dance, cheer and eat at the 141st Grand Valley Fall Fair.
Sincerely,
Lynda Moore, President, Grand Valley Agricultural Society

2012-2013 FAIR AMBASSADOR–BRITNEY DAVISON
MESSAGE FROM FAIR AMBASSADOR
I was very fortunate and honored to have served this year as your Grand Valley Fall Fair Senior
Ambassador. I had the opportunity to visit other districts where many new friendships were formed . I
have learned more about public speaking and gained several tips on being a strong leader. I have made
many new friends who I will have forever.
This experience has made me more confident in a variety of social settings, especially public speaking.
I have learned a fall fair is not only for the entertainment or a night out, but a place where town and
country come together.
It has been an eye opening, eventful experience for me and I had a wonderful time representing Grand
Valley as your Senior Fair Ambassador.
Here’s wishing the best of luck to this year’s new Ambassador! I highly encourage teens to participate
in the ambassador competition. I’m here for advice and guidance if you need it! Good Luck!
I would like to thank my sponsor Donna Marie Davison of Remax Realty and the Grand Valley Agricultural
Society for all of their support and encouragement.
Thanks for the wonderful memories.
Sincerely,
Britney Davison

2012-2013 JUNIOR AMBASSADOR–natasha willoughby
MESSAGE FROM JUNIOR FAIR AMBASSADOR
This year I had the opportunity to participate in the Junior Fall Fair Ambassador
Competition. It has been a great experience representing the Grand Valley Agricultural Society
this season. I have learned many things that have improved my public speaking skills, my
people skills and my knowledge of fairs in general.
While representing the Agricultural Society this year, I had the privilege to visit different
fairs in the surrounding area, go to District meetings and meet new people along the way. It
has been a privilege representing Grand Valley as the Junior Ambassador and I recommend
that all young females and males participate in the program.
Good luck to the next Junior and Senior Ambassadors.
Sincerely,
Natasha Willoughby
Jr. Fair Ambassador

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Homecraft Division
Welcome to 2013
Once again we are starting the new year with a different theme:
“Wheels”. Many people have been busy working since the last fair to update and change the prize lists. Some new organization has taken place
so look closely at the classes to find what you wish to show.
I would like to challenge everyone that if you showed 1 or 2 items
last year show 5 or more this year. Maybe you can encourage a neighbour
or friend to show. It takes everyone to make our fair a success.
Hope to see you next fall with all your entries.
Sincerely,
Ellen Bryan,
Homecraft President
