MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
This year, Beaver Valley Fall Fair is 145 years old, just think of all the fun that has been had in the past years.
This year’s theme is “Fabulous Family Fun” and having fun with your family is what a fair is all about! Every
year many dedicated volunteers work to make our fair happen by planning/organizing many activities/events
for you to do.
We hope that you start off the “Fabulous Family Fun” by entering some exhibits of your homemade creations/
baking /preserves etc. Then come out to see and participate in the activities we have planned.
Friday night starts our fair with the Ambassador Program, Talent Show and Farmers Olympics. This year the
Kids Carnival will be back with games for the children to play. There will be live music on Saturday afternoon
by the Amy Rose Band. A great way to end the fair is enjoying the Roast Beef dinner prepared by our amazing
volunteers. We hope that you and family have “Fabulous Fun at the Fair”.
Thank you to all our volunteers for all you do, our sponsors for providing prizes and to the community for
coming and making our fair a success!!

A Few Words from the 2014/2015 Fair Ambassadors!
Photo credit: Scott Woodhouse
My name is Victoria McMurchy and I once again had
the opportunity to represent the Beaver Valley Fall
Fair as the Senior Ambassador. I had a wonderful
time this year being able to represent the fair. Not
only did I have responsibilities on the weekend of
the fair, but I also had the opportunity to promote the
fair and agriculture at various community events, the
OAAS conference and the CNE. While being the
ambassador, I have found myself pushed out of my
comfort zone and forced to try new and incredible
things on many occasions. But the memories and
friendships that I have created from these
experiences will be ones I will never forget. I hope
the teens in our community continue to support the
ambassador program because it a very unique and
amazing experience for one to have. I would like to
thank everyone for making my experience as the
Senior Ambassador a memorable one and I hope to
you all enjoy the fair this year!
My name is Sammy Woodhouse and I am very proud to be able represent the Beaver Valley Fall Fair as the
2014/2015 Junior Ambassador. I have met so many new and wonderful people in our community while
attending events in our area. I’ve learned new skills, have had fun experiences and enjoyed being the Junior
Ambassador very much. I want to pass on to all girls in our community to consider running for this incredible
role and enjoy all the experiences I have. Can't wait to see everyone at the Beaver Valley Fall Fair 2015!!!

For everyone opens a roadside stand;

In memory of Joyce “Jo” Thatcher, 1934-2014
Jo Thatcher loved the Beaver Valley Fall Fair. She was an ardent supporter of the Beaver Valley
Agricultural Society and worked tirelessly behind the scenes for nearly four decades. Jo worked for
many years in the office during the annual fall fair, looking after the paperwork of the hundreds of
entries, then ensuring the right prizes were handed out to the right winners. She attended BVAS
general membership meetings regularly and was always ready to make thoughtful contributions on
any subject. A stickler for detail, Jo was always the person to make sure any changes to the rules and
regulations were handled properly and that proper protocol was followed.
Jo was many things to many people during her life in the Thornbury area. A high school and university
physical education teacher, she was a local gymnastics coach and a dedicated volunteer with the
local schools. With her teaching background, Jo understood the value of education and the
importance of the fair’s mission to educate about agriculture and rural life. She herself worked several
years in a local orchard, as a foreman during the fall apple harvest.
Jo was a talented seamstress and a big part of the Georgian Triangle Quilters Guild. Her beautiful
quilts graced the stage at the Beaver Valley Community Centre as part of the Fall Fair for decades,
while her smaller quilted items were always the ones to beat in the various homecraft categories.
In 2000, Jo was honoured by the BVAS and the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies for her
outstanding involvement in, and commitment to, our local agricultural society and our Fall Fair with a
long-time service award.
Knowing the BVAS operates on a shoestring budget, Jo wanted some of her memorial donations to
go to the fall fair and that kindness has generated roughly $1,600 to help put on this year’s Fall Fair.
We’ll miss you Jo, but we’ll keep your memory forever in our hearts.
