Welcome to another great year at the fall fair.
Our theme this year is, From Farm Gate to Dinner Plate. When you come to the fair this year you will see everything that is behind farm gates and then brought to our dinner plate. The 4-H show on Friday, various horse displays, beef, sheep, dairy, and pigeon shows on Saturday and Sunday. You will see flower, vegetable and crop displays as well as baking, preserves and jams. Plus our quilts, hand crafts, art work and photographs. All our great creations that we have grown and created with our vivid imaginations. Then there is the noise pit or Special Events area which will have their new lights in and on in time for the fair.
The fair has changed since my grandfather, John D. Currie, was President in 1953-54 but we still have the same values, bring what you grew, show with pride and enjoy the company you are competing with, for they too have worked as hard as you to be at the fair. To everyone I say good luck and have fun.
A Special thank-you to all our volunteers, associate directors and of course our directors who work tirelessly all year to make the fair go off without a hitch.
Thank you for attending the 158th edition of The Great Northern Exhibition.
