Welcome to the 144th Grand Valley Fall fair! Our fair is “an all ages community
event for agriculture, about agriculture and the rural way of life.” Our theme of
“Butterflies and Honeybees” has been a part of our planning for vendors, exhibits and
demonstrations. We are very proud of this year’s line up, including stars from Chopped
Canada and MasterChef Canada, presentations by Beekeepers of Ontario and Grand Valley
Historical Society, and exhibits from the community and beyond. From Friday night till
Sunday afternoon we have continuous events on stage and upstairs in tour Country Kitchen.
Outside, the livestock shows offer a close up of farm and show animals and 4-H competitions
in showmanship. The track gives you thrills, spills, noise and intense competition all three
days of the Fair.
The board held a Strategic Planning session this year. We took a hard look at the next
ten years for this event and made decisions accordingly. We were able to renew our agreement
with the Community Centre Board for just 2 more years, so we plan to be independent of the
arena by 2018. We also want to maximize every fundraising event– Spring Fling, Quilt Raffle,
and rentals. This year we have no parade or midway. Instead, with the assistance and support
of local farmers, we present “Strawmania!” for people of all ages to explore, climb, and play.
Back by popular demand are the Ambassador Competition, Pet Show, Turquoise Tiger, Fair
Dance and Beer Tent. Cr aft events for childr en have been added. Come pr epar ed to be
surprised, educated and entertained.
Our hard-working members, ready volunteers and generous sponsors keep our annual
fair viable. It is reputed to be “highly respected as the best attended, financially sound fair
in our area.”
A weekend pass is available from Scotiabank, Orangeville locations, for just $15 per
adult!
For up-to-date information, pick up an Events Brochure in September, or visit the
website www.grandvalleyfallfair.ca., then plan your weekend. See you at the fair!!

This past year as the Grand Valley Fall Fair Ambassador has been a very eventful
one. Not only was I able to attend and be a part of our own fair, I was able to visit local
fairs in the area as well. I also attended the district meeting and was able to meet many
other ambassadors from surrounding fairs. In February I traveled to Toronto for three days
and attended the OAAS Convention with some members of our fair board. There I was
able to be a part of the ambassador program, I also had the honour of meeting many of the
other ambassadors from Ontario. I made many friends, and had a blast! This August I will
be travelling to Toronto again in order to represent our little town of Grand Valley and it's
fair in the CNE competition.
My experience as an ambassador for our fair has been an unforgettable one, there
has not been a moment or event I did not love. Not only did was it fun, but it also helped
me grow as a person, and learn valuable lessons in public speaking and interviewing skills.
I am very thankful to have been able to represent our Agricultural Society as an
ambassador and encourage anyone who can to run for ambassador this year. Thank you to
everyone who has helped make this experience as the Grand Valley Fair Ambassador a
memorable one.
I look forward to seeing you at this year's fall fair!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Home Craft Division
The theme for the 2016 Grand Valley Fall Fair is “Butterflies and Honeybees.” It is my pleasure to invite you to
join us as an exhibitor; volunteer or a guest, in the exhibit hall inside the Main building, during our Fair. I guarantee
you won’t be disappointed; there is definitely something for everyone!
I wish to acknowledge the support and dedication of the many volunteers- from convenors and their committees,
volunteers and the ladies in the kitchen who prepare our meals. Thank you to our many generous sponsors, who
contribute to some terrific prizes for exhibitors! The Board of Directors, who work diligently all year ‘round to make
our Fall Fair the success that it is! And finally, the exhibitors- for without you– we wouldn’t have a Home Craft
display.
The prize list has been carefully selected to challenge exhibitors of all ages and experience. I encourage everyone to
work hard and to have fun with articles and most of all- be proud of yourself and your accomplishments! Ask
questions if you do not understand or need clarity. Everyone is there to make your experience a happy one!
Are you new to exhibiting? Perhaps you or others you know have questions regarding the Home Craft Division. We
can’t assume that everyone has exhibited in a fair before. Let me share with you some information on some common
questions.
*Do you understand the rules and/or specifications for exhibitors? Names and contact information for the convenors
of each class are provided, to assist exhibitors with questions they may have before our event.
*Do you understand how to fill out the article tags and exhibitor entry forms correctly? Entry tags and forms must be
completed entirely to track each article per class, from each exhibitor. We need your complete mailing address to
ensure prize money can reach you! We also use the forms to complete our data and keep all necessary records.
*Did the judge leave a comment for you on your tag? Judges will often write a positive comment that help exhibitors
learn and may indicate where you can improve your entries for next year’s fair.
*Who judges the articles at the Fair? We hire judges based on experience and expertise. The right judge has taken
at least 2 judging schools. They have apprenticed at more than one different fair with a qualified judge and ideally
more than one judge. Seasoned judges are expected to attend a judging school at least every 2 years. A
knowledgeable judge is likely an exhibitor interested in and familiar with fairs, but not a Fair Director/member from
Grand Valley Agricultural Society. New Judges are chosen every 2 years. New/different judges can minimize
favouritism when awarding prizes. Judges follow the O.A.A.S. Judging Standard Book.
*Do we always give first prize even if it is the only article? No, workmanship has to play a big role here. Read all
specifications and rules carefully! Attach samples as requested. Spelling does matter! Does the size meet the
specifications? Was it properly sealed? Does the judge have to taste it? Theoretically, food must be sampled,
because 50% is allotted for flavour.
Best of luck to all exhibitors and I’ll see you all at the Fair!
Sincerely,
Michelle Martin

"Flower To Butterfly"
by Eugene Field
Sweet, bide with me and let my love
Be an enduring tether;
Oh, wanton not from spot to spot,
But let us dwell together.
You've come each morn to sip the sweets
With which you found me dripping,
Yet never knew it was not dew
But tears that you were sipping.
You gambol over honey meads
Where siren bees are humming;
But mine the fate to watch and wait
For my beloved's coming.
The sunshine that delights you now
Shall fade to darkness gloomy;
You should not fear if, biding here,
You nestled closer to me.
So rest you, love, and be my love,
That my enraptured blooming
May fill your sight with tender light,
Your wings with sweet perfuming.
Or, if you will not bide with me
Upon this quiet heather,
Oh, give me wing, thou beauteous thing,
That we may soar together.
