Welcome to the 140th Brooke Alvinston Watford
Fall Fair, or as we like to call it “The World’s Fair”. The
board of directors, committee heads and the many
volunteers can look back on a long and proud history.
This year our theme is “Ye Olde Fair” and should
help you turn your mind to fairs of the past. Our fair
continues to provide a unique venue for showcasing
agricultural heritage. Our goal is to deliver a fair that
appeals to people of all ages, that are worthy of our rich
past but also benchmarks for the future.
Our hopes are that you take your time spent at our
fair to relax, enjoy, take in all of the attractions as well
as meet up with old friends and neighbours. Come and see
what rural life has to offer, and how so many things have
changed as well as stayed the same over 140 years!
See You At The Fair!
Pam Hills
President, BAAS - 2016

program.

“Fairs are fun” are words that were said to me when I was a little girl. Not
just “Fairs” in general, but ours specifically; and to this day I still believe
those words, especially after this past year.
My time as an ambassador has been an experience of a lifetime
and something I will cherish forever. This past year I attended many events
in our communities such as the Santa Clause parades, Terry Fox Run,
Maple Syrup Festival, a new event this year; Art and Music Festival and the
most memorable of all- the fair.
The fair weekend was filled with excitement starting with being
able to showcase pies at the famous pie auction, not just everyone else’s
pies, but the ones I baked and submitted as well. That’s not the exciting
part though. My pies placed first and second overall and sold for $1500!
Knowing the money raised went to the London Children’s Hospital is what
makes my experience as an ambassador amazing. My pies raised money
for kids in need and that’s what I think is so important in having this
opportunity this past year as an ambassador. It’s to make a little
difference in someone’s life and I’ve reached that goal.
Being the ambassador enabled me to represent our Agricultural
Society at other local fairs and offered the opportunity to meet
Ambassadors from across District 13. I had a life-changing weekend at the
OAAS Convention where I got to meet all the other Ambassadors from
across Ontario. Some of those ambassadors are now good friends of mine
that I talk to almost everyday and have a great friendship with. In August, I
will have the honor of representing our wonderful Agricultural Community
at the CNE where I hope to make you proud.
That being said I’m so honored to have had this opportunity as
the 2015-2016 Brooke-Alvinston & Watford Fall Fair Ambassador. This
experience has changed me as a leader and has made me a more
confident individual. I’ve learned and experienced some things over this
past year that some people would only dream of.
I want to encourage everyone to go for their “dreams” and turn
them in to reality. For anyone thinking of running for Ambassador in the
following years, follow your dreams and go for it because you won’t be
disappointed; I promise.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the Ambassador
Program and me; I couldn’t do it without the wonderful support from the
community. I hope everyone has a great time at the fair this year and like
I stated before “Fairs are fun” especially ours.
Thanks so much;
Danielle Lightfoot

Baking Judges Tips
Size, colour, texture, weight, aroma, appearance and
1.
taste are all elements food judges use to make
decisions. BE CREATIVE
2.
Use only fresh ingredients.
3.
Measure all ingredients precisely.
4.
Check the oven temperature to prevent over baking or
burning.
5.
Cookies must be equal in size (3 inch in diameter), shape
and appearance, bake them one sheet at a time in the
center of the oven for even browning.
6.
If quick breads or muffins, mix ingredients evenly, but do
not over mix (too much mixing causes tunnels or holes to
form inside and can coarsen the texture).
7.
If batter, tap pan several times on counter to bring up air
bubbles (prevents tunnels).
8.
Read and observe the rules and regulations in the prize list
i.e. How many cookies or squares are needed?

who each show the heaviest pumpkin produced from
the seed supplied will win the titles “PumpKing” and

Friday night. All other contestants will receive an
orange ribbon and $2.00 which will be awarded on
Friday when exhibited.
ALL pumpkins are to be picked up after 4 pm on
