2014 President’s Message
Dear Exhibitors,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 Markham Fair as we celebrate our 170th
anniversary!
Markham Fair is a long standing tradition for many members of our community and
surrounding area. Each year we celebrate everything that is good about agriculture in
our community including a showcase of the best produce, homecrafts, children’s and
4-H displays, livestock and horse shows. As our community grows, we invite our new
neighbours to experience the tradition of coming to the Fair and enjoying a wealth of
activities and entertainment while learning more about agriculture and our rural
heritage.
Markham Fair would not be possible without the hard work by hundreds of dedicated
volunteers, our loyal exhibitors, sponsors, local businesses and the support from the
members of Council from the City of Markham and the Town of Whitchurch Stouffville.
My sincere thank you to everyone.
Markham Fair is a spectacular family event with something to see and do for everyone.
So come and experience some home grown fun and join us in celebrating the good
things in life.

the Dairy Show, I never imagined that I would become the
Markham Fair Ambassador myself. Growing up at the Fair, I
have admired the Ambassadors that handed out the ribbons
at the competitions. I’ve looked up to each of them as they
carried themselves with class as our agricultural Fair role
models.
It is my privilege to be your Homecraft President for 2014
celebrating our 170th Anniversary of Markham Fair! I’ve volunteered for over 20 years in formerly “Domestic Science”
now “Baking and Preserves” taking part as both a
committee member and Chair person. I am excited to
announce the chosen theme of this year’s Fair is
“Celebrating The Good Things in Life”.
Markham Fair has become four of my favourite days of
WKH\HDU'D\VÀOOHGZLWKODXJKWHUULGHVEULJKWOLJKWVORXG
monster trucks and a stomach full of too much Fair food; it
truly has become a cherished weekend. The friends I have
met throughout my years at the Fair have become a second
family to me.
We take note of all your suggestions and implement them
where ever possible; this year in Baking and Preserves we
are introducing new categories under “International Fare”!
Please come in and speak with our Homecraft Committees
in order to Help us, Help you! We are in Buildings 1 and 2;
starting in Building 1 we have the committees 18 and Under
(Youth), Photography, Flowers, and Plants, Roots and
Vegetables, School Children, Special Needs and 4H. In
%XLOGLQJ\RXZLOOÀQG&KULVWPDV&ROOHFWLRQV&UDIWV
Seniors, Needlecraft, Antiques, Art, the Historical Booth,
Demonstrators and my favorite, Baking and Preserves.
We’ll have the Tea Room for Seniors in the link between the
two buildings hosted by Chats. It will be open the Thursday
and Friday of the fair from 10-2pm!
We’d be happy to answer any of your questions and
appreciate any feedback or suggestions from exhibitors.

Sincerely
Cathy Holden, Homecraft President 2014
I would like to thank our wonderful 2013 president, Lesley
English, for an incredible and successful Fair weekend! My
weekend truly would not have been the same without the
dedication and support from the Ambassador Committee and Fair Board. Thank you to every volunteer for your
continuous hard work and dedication, our Fair would not be
what we are today without each one of you. I would like to
give a special thank you to my incredible Ambassador Team,
Sarah Dunlop and Bethany Henshall; I’m honoured to share
such amazing memories with you ladies.
My term as the 2013 Markham Fair Ambassador has been
no less than incredible. I have met fellow Fair Ambassadors
and learned so much about other amazing Fairs in Ontario.
I humbly look forward to representing Markham Fair at the
CNE Ambassador Competion in August.
Thank you so much for this unbelievable opportunity, it has
been an honour and privilege to represent our Markham
Fair. I hope to see you all at the Fair for many years to
come!

2014 Markham Mayor
2014 Stouffville Mayor
On behalf of Members of Council and the Town of
Whitchurch-Stouffville, I extend a warm welcome to the
guests of the 170th Markham Fair – Canada’s largest 4-day
fair! The fair truly is “a vibrant community partner in the
celebration and promotion of agriculture, rural living and
sustainability” and we’re proud to be part of the Markham
Fair community.
On behalf of the City of Markham and Members of
Council, we extend a warm welcome to enjoy the
Markham Fair – a highlight event in our annual calendar.
Our City has an incredible history of settlement, and it’s
extraordinary that the Markham Fair has been a vibrant
community gathering for 170 years.
We are proud to host Canada’s largest 4-day fair. We invite
residents and visitors, people of all ages, to enjoy everything
this fair has to offer. There truly is something for everyone:
fun, food, contests and competitions, music, dance and
entertainment, crafts, antiques, livestock and agricultural
skills showcase – it’s all here at the fair.
We are sincerely grateful to Markham Fair organizing
committee and the hundreds of volunteers who work so
hard to bring the Fair to our community so over 60,000
guests can celebrate and enjoy our fall harvest and so much
more.
It is with utmost pleasure that I invite you to join in
“Celebrating the Good Things in Life” at the 2014
Markham Fair.
Yours sincerely,
This highly anticipated annual fall fair is rich in history. Over
the past 170 years, the fair has grown from an agricultural
fair for local farmers to display the fruits of their labour
to a modern day fair that retains its rich agricultural roots.
Offering a horse pull, demolition derby, baking and craft
exhibits, livestock displays, petting zoo, live music and the
ever-popular midway, there truly is something for every
member of the family to enjoy. Plan to attend more than
one time – there’s so much to see and do!
Sincere thanks to the organizing committee and team of
volunteers who dedicate so much time and energy toward
making the fair such a great success, year after year. It is
because of you that Markham Fair has the distinction of
being the “largest community based volunteer organization
in Canada”. To the participants who exhibit their livestock,
produce, crafts and baking – thank you for being an important part of the fair.Your efforts contribute greatly to its
popularity and success.

So...just which portion is the hook and which portion
is the loop?
Rules & Regulations and Additional Rules for Homecraft as well as the following:
The hook portion of Velcro® brand fasteners looks like an
upside-down letter “J”. Hook is often described in different terms - the “rough” or the “bristly” portion. The hook
portion engages into the loop component of our panels.
The Photography Section panels are covered in the “soft”,
“fuzzy”or “carpet” portion of the Velcro®. **Note: Exhibitors please supply your own Velcro®.**
Please take special note:
All print photography entries are to be brought to
the General Exhibits Building between 10 a.m. and
5 p.m. on Saturday September 27th 2014. The judging
will be done the next day. For this reason no entries will
be accepted after 5 p.m. Saturday. We regret that no

KELLY LYNN WINNITOY – MARKHAM FAIR
PRESIDENT - 2014
By Myra Chepack
A local girl, Kelly Lynn Winnitoy was born on May 3, 1965 at Scarborough
General Hospital. She was to be the only child of Patricia (Dix) and Edward
Winnitoy. Kelly’s Dad was born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and moved to
Markham in his teenage years. The family resided on 17th Avenue (Major Mackenzie Drive) west of the Ninth Line. Edward attended Markham
District High School where he met Patricia. The high school sweethearts
will celebrate 50 years of marriage in June, 2014. The family home for forty
years was on Jonquil Crescent in Markham, where Kelly was able to walk to
her elementary school, James Robinson Public School, as well as her secondary school, Markham District High School. Kelly went on to pursue business
administration at Seneca College. Within a few months of graduating, Kelly
went to work for Ontario Hydro, where both Patricia and Edward were also
employed. Kelly currently enjoys the challenge at (now Hydro One) where
she applies her expertise in Customer Relations, garnered over 28 years of
service with the company.
Kelly also brings to the Presidency of the Fair, a degree of pride in her ability
as a single woman to have negotiated the world of real estate. She has accomplished several purchases and sales, resulting in her ownership of a very
FRPIRUWDEOHQHZKRPHLQ6WRXIIYLOOH7KLVODVWSXUFKDVHUHTXLUHGDQRYHUQLJKWYLJLOLQDSDUNLQJORWLQRUGHUWREHÀUVWLQOLQH
ZKHQWKHVDOHVRIÀFHRSHQHG.HOO\DOVRFDOOV)ORULGDKHUVHFRQGKRPHFHOHEUDWLQJPDQ\PHPRUDEOH&KULVWPDVHVWKHUHZLWK
her family, as well as a late winter annual visit.
Kelly’s Mother brings, in her history, a thread of the original fabric of Markham. Kelly’s Grandmother was Elma Grove, the
second of Fanny Reesor and Amos Grove’s four children. The third child, Eva married Charles Fincham, whose family name was
used in naming a street off 16th Avenue east of Main Street, Markham. The Grove family farm was on the north side of 16th
Avenue and ran from Williamson Road east to Swan Lake Village. The lovely old farm house and property has recently been
purchased by a developer after being in the Grove family for many years.
Despite no previous involvement with Markham Fair, Kelly bravely put herself forward to compete in the Miss Markham Fair
competition (now known as the Markham Fair Ambassador) in 1983, at the age of eighteen. As a Fair Princess, Kelly lent her
VXSSRUWDQGDVVLVWDQFHZKHUHVKHUHFRJQL]HGDQHHG+HUÀUVWYROXQWHHUDVVLJQPHQWZDVVHWWLQJXSDQGUHPRYLQJFKDLUVIURP
the entertainment tent and ultimately got her start as a fair volunteer on the Entertainment Committee.
The transformation of Kelly from Princess to President took many years, during which she developed various skills and insights,
nurtured by many Past Presidents. Barry Little was President in her Princess year and Doug Savage, Past President and Kelly
co-chair the Commercial Concessions Committee. Kelly plays an active roll on several administrative committees including
Sponsorship, Membership, Advertising, HR Advisory and Governance and she looks forward to working on some other committees once her presidency comes to an end. Kelly’s parents followed in her footsteps and have been committee members
for over 15 years. They are active during the Fair as her Mom assists with the concessions paperwork and her Dad helps Kelly
to manage the vendors. Before the Fair they keep busy preparing the name badges and committee envelopes for the more
than 800 volunteers.
As a second time candidate for Sr. Director, Kelly was successful in 1996. Kelly has now served on the Board of Directors and
as co-chair of the Commercial Concessions committee for 19 years. She feels the growth of this area will require more than
volunteers alone can offer in the near future. She sees herself as an active participant in the “short term” development of the
)DLU6KHZRXOGOLNHWRVHHUHJHQHUDWLRQRIWKHH[LVWLQJLQIUDVWUXFWXUHDORQJZLWKFUHDWLYHVSLQRIIVLQGHÀQLQJWKHGLUHFWLRQWKH
Fair will take over the “long term”.
Kelly recalls a phrase, possibly attributable to the late Dave Morrison, the Fair’s General Manager - “Celebrating the Good
Things in Life”. She recalls the phrase being inspirational to her in her Fair endeavours in the past. She sees Markham Fair
as being an opportunity for celebration above all, a celebration of community, family, participants, competitors and volunteers.
President Winnitoy’s enthusiasm, expertise and commitment will, no doubt, result in a joyous coming together for all in October 2014.

Markham Fair 1914 …..
The Year of the Horse!
By T. Rogers Gardham. (PP1977).
Anyone who saw either the play or movie “WARHORSE” will recognize the pivotal role the horse played in
the early years of World War I. The war began with the use
of cavalry, men on horseback, armed with sabre and sword;
made famous 50 years earlier, during the Crimean War, in Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade”. During the four years
the war raged, the motive power of the horse was replaced
by the gasoline engine and the explosive power of the shell
and bomb. These armaments, whether delivered on land from
artillery or from the airplane, changed the conduct of war for
ever, from an “imperialistic adventure” to a method of carnage
which affected both soldier and civilian.
(James’ Horse “Royal Member” with Paul Donahue. (1913, J.W.
Wilson & Co.)Picture Provided By Markham Museum
In Markham Village in 1914 the horse was also an
animal of renown and one of the area’s horsemen of distinction, both breeder and importer, was James Torrance, who
was elected by acclamation to a second term as President at
the Society’s Annual Meeting held in the Town Hall on Tuesday
January 20th. While not unique, it is not characteristic for the
Society to elect a president for more than one year, at least,
not since 1950.
The Markham Economist (ME) reported: “The attendance was the smallest for many years – less than
one hundred being present about thirty – of whom
were new members”. But there was lots of good news: the
surplus from the previous Fair was over $500, A.J.H. Eckardt
from Toronto had written three letters donating thirty preferred shares and seven common shares of stock of Dominion
Manufactures Ltd to the Society, having a value of over $3,000,
for the building of a new Grandstand and a further $500 for
the erection of a fountain.

cial statement showing total expenditures of $5,837, which
included $3319 for prizes and a Bank Balance of $518. Receipts included $2219 Gate, $905 Grants, $848 Entry fees and
permits, and $1483 in memberships, donations of trophies and
prizes. Liabilities totalled $1223, mainly the Mortgage $1010,
page 64
and Assets $16,397 extensively Land and Buildings $15,000
and bank account and grants $1317.
The new Board was elected: President: - James Torrance; 1St Vice: - Walter Milne; 2nd Vice: - G. Scott. Directors:
Markham Village: - E. Robinson, H. Adam, R. Groves, J. Thomas,
J. Malcolm; Markham Township: - J. Armstrong, T. Hargrave, J.
Couperthwaite, P. Reesor, F. Reesor, J. Gould, J. Balsdon, R.
Cunningham, E. Kirk, J. Gleason, A. Pingle, R. Canning; Scarboro (Known today as Scarborough):- T. Maxwell, R. Ormerod; Pickering:- G. Tran; Stouffville:- L. Hoover.
Following the annual meeting the inaugural meeting of the new Board was convened immediately after at the
Franklin House where W. Milne was appointed Secretary
at a salary of $250 and Capt. Adam Treasurer at $50 salary.
Messrs Milne and Gould were appointed as delegates to the
Fairs’ Association. The 1914 Fair dates were set as October
7th (Wed), 8th (Thurs) and 9th (Fri). The Secretary was
instructed to notify Mr. Jerman that the Society intended
to erect a new grandstand and wished him to remove the
old one by spring. The president, secretary and treasurer
were instructed to obtain estimates for a new grandstand
to accommodate up to 4000.The various committees were
appointed and Mr. Torrance appointed caretaker of the fairgrounds and buildings with the grounds rented to him at an
annual fee of $50.
Mr. Eckardt was also philanthropic in other ways and
donated a new, ´SUREDEO\WKHÀQHVWSLSHRUJDQLQWKH
County of York to the Bethesda Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Unionville in memory of his forefathers
who erected the church over a century ago in 1792,
at a cost in the neighbourhood of $3000.” The instrument was manufactured by Edward Lye and Sons, was powered by electricity and was “put through its paces” by many
area artists at its inaugural concert in November attended
by many local churchgoers.
During March and April two news stories appeared
in the ME that would create major long lasting changes in
the Village community: the residents of Mount Joy signed a
petition to requesting that “The Police Village of Mount
Joy be annexed by the Village of Markham” and work
had been completed on Milne’s Dam for the production of
electric power “Water in Milne’s Pond has been raised
to the height of the new 18 foot cement dam for the
purpose of demonstrating what additional land will
be covered.The pond is now a very pretty little lake
extending back about a mile and a quarter to the
7th Line (McCowan Rd) and covering the cranberry
marsh to a depth of nearly 4 feet. It will be ideal for
boating and if stocked with black bass would afford
VSOHQGLGÀVKLQJDVZHOO$UHDOEHDXW\VSRWDQGDQHZ
attraction for our pretty village”.
The old adage “Bad news travels fast” was once
again borne out by the Thursday August 6, 1914 edition of
the ME front page which headlined a story “WAR” and
reported “Germany declared war against Russia on
Friday, against France on Saturday and against England Tuesday night. Germany also broke her solemn
treaty with Belgium by attempting to send an army
through that country to strike France, and forced
Belgium to defend her rights. It is also reported that
German troops have crossed the Swiss border.The
greatest war in the history of the world has commenced. Civilization demands that Germany must
be crushed and Germany ruled by a democratic
government. As the situation now stands it is Ger-
many and Austria against Russia, France, England and
Belgium. Italy has decided to be neutral”.
,WLVGLIÀFXOWWREHOLHYHLQWRGD\·VDOPRVWLQVWDQWZRUOG
news that 100 years ago a war started in Russia on Friday
August 1st and people in the small Village of Markham (1000)
were reading it the next Thursday afternoon, and considering
the diverse European nature of the Village population, what
thoughts would race through their minds on reading that
“front and centre” news.
(James Torrance and his Wife)
There were reports in the ME that both horse
breeders James Torrance and Graham Brothers of Claremont
were making regular trips to the UK for stallions, both had
VSHFLDOYLVDVIRUWKLVSXUSRVHWRKHOSIXOÀOOWKH%ULWLVKUHTXHVW
for some 30,000 horses from Canada.
Another major news event relating the technological changes of the times, which continued to be reported
throughout the summer and fall, was the new Hydro Radial
railway which was an innovation related to the availability of
electric power. The basic argument was that bringing this new
type of transportation to communities would reduce the cost
of hydro electricity produced in Niagara Falls. Needless to say
there was a heavy cost to installation and operation, and both
WKH)HGHUDODQG3URYLQFLDOJRYHUQPHQWVZRXOGEHÀQDQFLDOO\
involved. At the time the main route ran from Toronto to
Newmarket through Scarboro, Markham and Whitchurch
with branch lines from Vandorf to Uxbridge; from Almira to
Claremont; from Unionville running through Pickering and
joining lines from Port Perry to Whitby.
An interesting comment in the ME in support of
voting for the agreement between the Hydro Electric Power
Commission and the municipalities was that it would cause
the municipalities to grow more rapidly. There was a list
of area townships and villages shown with a total population 37, 052 in 1912. Toronto and suburbs was said to be
over 500,000.The population of the farthest north: Aurora
1930, Richmond Hill 687, and Newmarket 3357. Markham
Twnsp.4871, Markham Village 1036, and Stouffville 1014.Considering this population it is noteworthy that Markham Fair
could regularly draw some 15,000 people on a Friday.
The initial Fair report appeared in the ME Thursday
Oct.15, 1914, a week following the Fair and was headlined as
“MARKHAM FAIR, A Success all Round. Attendance
Large and Exhibits Beat all Records – Racing Contests Exciting”. All this above a picture of James Torrance,
President, under which appeared: “Gate Receipts $2190,
Grand Stand Receipts $260, Attendance Both Days
14,300, Entries 3400.” The report went on to say that the
Society’s annual exhibition was up to the mark in attendance
and beat all records for exhibits. The story recounts “On
Thursday the attendance was larger than many years
previously, but the thunderstorm which broke about
half past two on Friday turned many back home who
were on the road coming.”
Not to be deterred the reporter indicated that the
exhibits of cattle, sheep, swine and poultry were the largest
in many years. The apple exhibit was large and of exceptional

on both days mainly in racing events, but a real attention
grabber on Thursday were the Boy Scouts of Oshawa who
JDYHH[KLELWLRQVRIVFRXWLQJSUDFWLFHDQGVHPDSKRUHÁDJV
signalling. Attached to the Oshawa YMCA under the direction F.W. Eaton the troop arrived on the morning train and
headed by their bicycle corps with a Fife and Drum band to
the rear attracted a lot of attention as they marched to the
fairgrounds where they encamped in the large ring. The troop
is the largest in the world for trek – cart work and broke its
own world record for dismantling and assembling a cart at
the Fair. They came to encourage establishing a Scout troop
in Markham.
On Friday the rain created a damper on the racing;
however, it didn’t hinder the enthusiasm and excitement as
described by the reporter “The horses slipped and slithered, the sulkies skidded and the drivers were soon
covered by a coating of mud.The racing was of course
a farce.”
There were two notes relating to the Fair: The Methodist Church Ladies earned $460 for meals served during the
two days of the Fair and a letter sent to the paper from the
Registrar of Deeds in Toronto praising Mrs. Wm. Petch “who
carried off all prizes for bread and cakes at the Fair”.
The registerar of Deeds in Toronto’s two daughters purchased all of the baked goods and served them at a party in
Toronto later to high praise. This resulted in Mrs. Petch being
asked to supply recipes and when the daughters completed
baking she was to come and judge the quality. One guest was
reported as saying if the Germany Army were to be sent such
food they would desert and go home to eat it.
There were a multitude of classes and prize winners
so many that the publication of names was spread over two
weekly editions of the ME. This created considerable pride of
performance for entrants as quality judges were engaged and
