See you at the 159TH Markdale Fall Fair - August 25th - 27th , 2017! Details coming soon!
September 2, 2016
To our Sponsors, Volunteers and Fair Partners,
THANK YOU!!!
The 2016 edition of the Markdale Fall Fair has come and gone, and once again we can consider it a success.
An event like this would not be possible without the financial support, and time commitment of our many volunteers and partners who share in our passion for making this a fantastic community event.
There were over 2000 entries at this fair which continues to make us one of the highest exhibited fairs in the region.
Our annual livestock shows, baby show, pet show, Ambassador Competition and horse pull were well attended, and our returning feature ATV Pull, brought out another great crowd.
Without the support of individuals and business like yourselves, our fair would not be possible – and ‘Thank You’ can never be enough.
Congratulations to all the Champions of this year’s fair, and watch for our Ambassadors Katherine Teeter and Megan Macdonald at many upcoming events.
If our Ambassadors can be of assistance at your event please don’t hesitate to contact the society.
Once again, thank you so much for your contribution to the 158th Markdale Fall Fair and we look forward to working with you as we plan for 2017 when we celebrate “Canadian Country, Canadian Proud”.
Yours in Agricultural Spirit,
Markdale Agricultural Society
