FAIR AMBASSADOR’S MESSAGE
The Clinton Spring Fair is an event that will always have a special place in my heart. Growing up, I looked forward to going every year. I loved watching the Demolition Derby on the Friday night with my family and riding the rides on the Saturday and Sunday. I always loved walking around looking at all of the games; my favourite one was the table where people could win a goldfish. My brother and I both won our pet goldfish from that table one year and I was probably the happiest nine-year-old at the fair that year.
The fair has been a wonderful event that brings out everyone in the community and is a way to connect the young to the old since there is always an event for everyone to watch and/or participate in.
In 2019, I was honored to represent the fair by receiving the title of Huron Central Agricultural Society’s Fair Ambassador. I have been holding the title for the past 3 years and it has been an experience that I will never forget. I have been given wonderful opportunities to be a part of community events during my first year and I have been able to participate in online activities during COVID. As fair ambassador, I was invited to attend many of the Santa Claus parades, and the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies Convention in Toronto in 2019 and to watch the seminars online during lockdown. I attended the District 8 ambassador competition at the beginning of May and I will be attending the CNE ambassador competition at the end of August in Toronto.
I am very thankful for the opportunity to be the Clinton Spring Fair Ambassador for the past few years. It allowed me to enhance my public speaking skills and become more confident in my abilities, meet other ambassadors in my district and from other districts, as well as get to know more people in my community. I have learned and experienced so much over the past 3 years and I will continue to develop and use these skills that I have learned to aid me in achieving my future goals.
On behalf of the Huron Central Agricultural Society, I would like to formally invite you to visit the 166th Clinton Spring Fair and I hope that you have a great weekend!
