PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hello everyone and thank you for making our 2018 Fall Fair such a success. We are known as an exhibitor’s fair as
we have such a large number of entries in all our classes. Our theme this year is “Back to Our Roots”, which gives a wide
interpretation window for your entries. We also have been so fortunate with our Ambassador selections. Look for a new
Tuesday night special fundraising event instigated and run by our Junior Ambassador in the form of an Ambassador Cake
Decorating Challenge and Auction. We will also be hosting our second annual Tuesday dinner. The fair book is once
again filled with choices for you to create and be a part of the fair. After the parade, our animal shelter will be host to the
Brussels-Belgrave 4-H Beef Club Achievement Day, Sheep Show and Little Folks Show. This show is open to little
people who want to try their hand at showing livestock with the assistance of the animal owners. We are still working out
final details to entertain you and present a venue for neighbours to gather, eat, visit and have some fun down time. See you
at the Fair!
– Dorothy Cummings,
President 2018-2019

Homecraft President Greetings
2019 Brussels Fall Fair theme is: “Back to our Roots”. Although my
roots have not always been in Huron County, looking through the
names of past Homecraft Presidents, it reminds me of my Walton
neighbours who also served in this role for the Brussels Fair. These
ladies were tireless community volunteers, I’m humbled to follow in
their footsteps and hope to make them proud.
In keeping with our roots, I would encourage everyone to do what
the newspaper reporter of this article from 130 years ago asked the
Brussels community to do: “Boom the Fair by talking it up and inviting
your friends and neighbours to attend”!

AMBASSADOR OF THE FAIR
What an exciting experience it has been so far to
represent the Brussels Agricultural Society this past year.
Being the Brussels Fall Fair Ambassador has been a
wonderful journey that I’ve had the honour to embark on.
On August 11, I competed against two of my co-workers
and friends. We spent the afternoon at the Brussels Royal
Canadian Legion together vying for the title. We spent our
time taking photos, being interviewed by the judges,
practising impromptu questions, reciting speeches on stage
and of course, enjoying a wonderful supper put on by the
Legion. At the end of the night, this prestigious title
became mine for the 2018-2019 year.
My first day as Fall Fair Ambassador was to help at the
library with craft days for children, helping them prepare
entries for the fall fair.
I was able to attend the Huron County Plowing Match
that took place just outside Clinton. I attended both days
and was able to watch the speeches for the Princess of the
Furrow competition and also watched some of the plowing
competition.
I attended the Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion in Blyth
where I was able to walk around to see the exhibits with
the little ambassador.
Throughout the late summer and fall, I attended the
ambassador competitions in Mitchell, Seaforth, Milverton,
Stratford and Howick to meet my fellow ambassadors and
to observe how the other competitions are conducted.
Our fair took place on September 18 and 19. It was a
