PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE On behalf of the Beachburg Agriculture Society, the board of directors, committee members and the many other volunteers who have a part in putting the fair together; we want to encourage you to come out to experience what a rural fair has to offer. The theme for the 159th Beachburg Fair is “Celebrating a Century of 4-H in Ontario”. 4-H clubs across the province of Ontario play a vital role in our communities and give our youth the skills to become strong leaders for the future. BAS is proud to have many events at our fair that involve our local 4-H clubs. We support these young leaders and look forward to watching as they work to achieve their goals. It is our hope that 4-H in Ontario can live on another century, and keep encouraging our youth to “ Learn to do by doing” , making our Agricultural future thrive.

As the poplar leaves sway softly in the breeze, It whispers its secrets to the other trees. Up on the Pinnacle The mighty oak towers over its rural domain And when seasons come and go its roots will remain. The garden is planted and it remains to be seen If the rain that falls gently will turn it to green. Up on the Pinnacle The robin is nesting in the cedar tree Where her babies have hatched and soon will be free. The butterflies float on the clear, blue sky With barely a flutter as they silently fly by. Up on the Pinnacle The Blue Jay's squawk can clearly be heard Not as a songstress but, still, a beautiful bird. The crimson cardinal's song is a pleasure to hear Amidst the tranquility the sound is sweet and clear. Up on the Pinnacle Along the winding trail, behind the clapboard house You can hear the singing frogs and the scurry of a mouse The yellow-bellied sapsucker pecks out a rat-a-tat-a-tat Upon the metal aerial that's fastened on the shed out back. Up on the Pinnacle The hollyhocks sir beside the brightly striped chair Where the little, golden puppy is lounging there. The sights, the sounds, the smells are all here In my little piece of heaven I hold so dear.
