PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
“The Fair is Back in Town”. Wow... what a year. Welcome to the 157th Brussels Fall Fair. Our theme “Tractors &
Tailgates” was chosen to showcase family gathering places in rural communities. How often do you see a child on the
tractor buddy seat or combine with dad or mom or sitting on the truck tailgate watching a sunset, an outdoor movie or
discussing the day.
I encourage you to book a one-day “Staycation” and come experience the fair with your children. See their faces light
up as they show you their entries, or come out back to the barn for the 4-H Beef Club Achievement Day cattle show, the
sheep show, then have them try their hand in the show ring in our “Little Folks Show” leading a sheep with the help of a
4-H member and their sheep. The 4-H motto, “Learn to do by Doing” is seen in action.
The Fair Book is filled with choices that together you can make, grow or bake to exhibit at the fair. Fun and games
for all so you can make 2018 truly “A Family A Fair”.
– Dorothy Cummings,
President 2018-2019

Homecraft President Greetings
Well, we will never be able to duplicate last year’s fair again! It went beyond our wildest dreams and when the dust (and mud) settled, we were
exhausted but very, very satisfied. What an experience to be part of the International Plowing Match held just down the road in Walton! Our regular
enthusiastic members as well as those who just ‘pitched in’ to help, went above and beyond the call of duty to make the 2017 Brussels Fall Fair a huge
success.
What will 2018 bring, you ask? Well, it won’t be in a tent and it won’t be five days long, but we are planning on making it the second best fair in history.
We will be back at the BM&G Community Centre in Brussels and have some special events planned for this happy homecoming. The theme is “Tractors
& Tailgates” and we invite you to come out and enjoy the celebrations of the harvest and rural living. As always the talents of our community are
showcased throughout our Homecraft entries – baking, canning, sewing, handwork, artwork, photography, gardening and amazing children’s work in our
Junior classes as well as the local school displays and farmers’ bountiful crops. We aim to provide you with fond memories of the 2018 Brussels Fall Fair.
Thanks to our directors, hardworking members, volunteers and especially the sponsors – your community spirit is alive and well and very much
appreciated!
We look forward to another successful Agricultural Fall Fair in 2018 and invite you to be part of it, either as an exhibitor or as a visitor.
– Mary Douma

AMBASSADOR OF THE FAIR
What an exciting experience it has been so far
representing the Brussels Agricultural Society these past
months! Being the Brussels Fall Fair Ambassador has been
an amazing journey that I’ve had the unbelievable honour
to embark on.
On August 12, I competed against and spent the
afternoon with three other outstanding ladies vying for the
title. Our time together was spent taking photos, being
interviewed by the judges, practising impromptu
questions,, reciting speeches on stage and of course,
enjoying a wonderful supper. At the end of the night, this
prestigious title became mine for the 2017-2018 year.
My first duty as Fall Fair Ambassador was to attend the
Huron County Plowing Match that took place outside of
Crediton. I was able to watch the speeches for the Princess
of the Furrow competition and also watch some plowing.
Throughout the end of the summer and fall, I attended
other Ambassador competitions including Mitchell,
Seaforth, Milverton, Stratford and Howick-Turnberry to
observe how they conducted their competition and to meet
my fellow ambassadors.
Two weekends before my main event, I attended the
Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion in Blyth where I was able
to walk around to see the exhibits and drive a tractor in the
parade.
My big day came very quickly on September 19, the first
day of the International Plowing Match. The very cold and
rainy day was spent observing the astounding exhibits
presented in the fair tent, reading my speech on the stage will I represent Brussels once more, I will be given the
