As President of the Schomberg Agricultural Society, I welcome you to our 175th fair!
The fair, being the first Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies fair of the season, is held on the last whole weekend of May, this year falling on the 23, 24, and 25th.
It is a privilege to be the president of an organization with such deep community roots, which has attributed to our success year after year! For myself the fair has been a family affair. From helping my grandfather at the heavy horse pulls and cleaning the grounds before the early openings with my cousins to watching multiple family members coordinate the chaos of fair weekend as presidents and directors. I hope that all who visit us can have as fond memories of our fair as I do.
We have numerous agricultural exhibits, including beef and dairy shows, horse demonstrations, rabbit and cavy competitions, our fair farm, and sheep herding demonstrations. We are also excited to have Albion Amusements with us this year to put on their show-stopping midway!
Throughout the weekend, we will have family events varying from our Grand parade to Doo Doo the Clown, the Magic of Aaron Matthews, the baby show, family fun day, the demolition derby, and the ProRider FMX show. For the more adult crowd, we will once again be hosting our Bavarian garden, which will be in full view of our stage acts, from the incredible local talent of bands like Tight Squeeze to our newest attraction, Beautiful Crazy – The Luke Combs Experience.
I want to give special thanks to all of our corporate sponsors. Without your donations we would not be able to put on this event. To all our amazing volunteers, committee chairs, and directors, thank you for the time, commitment, and love you put into our Society. I would also like to thank our partners in the Township of King, 4H, OAAS, and OMAFA. Last but not least, I would like to thank all of our Fair patrons who keep coming back and supporting us year after year!
I look forward to seeing all of you at The Fair!
