Florence Hellyer President

Senior Ambassador’s Message I have had the honour of representing the Markdale Agricultural Society and the Markdale Fall Fair as the 2012/2013 Senior Ambassador. During my time as ambassador I have learned so much and was honoured to share my knowledge with the Ag Society.

I enjoyed representing the fair at many different events. Some of the highlights at every event were the activities and friends that I have made during my time.

I would like to thank my family and friends that supported me during my reign. The Agricultural Society for helping me throughout the year and coming with me to all the events. I would like to send a special thanks to Craig Martin for all his hard work.

During my time as Ambassador I have been given the opportunity to see and experience many things. Having an agricultural background, I knew that youth were important in the community, but having the title of Ambassador I have come to realize are more important than I originally thought. I hope that not only does the Ambassador program continue to thrive and grow. I hope that all the youth realize how special the fair is, and become involved with all aspects, to help grow the fair.

As I pass my crown on to the 2013/2014 Ambassador, I wish them luck and advise them to cherish their experience – you are in for a great time!

Christine Wyville 2012/2013 Markdale Fall Fair Ambassador 4

155th Markdale Fall Fair – Aug. 23-25, 2013

Junior Ambassador’s Message It has been an honour to have been chosen to be the 2012/13 Jr. Ambassador for the Markdale Fall Fair. I was able to experience the fair last year in a way I never have before.

Attending meetings, and fundraisers, I have met many new people and have had new experiences. As my year comes to an end I hope the new 2013/14 Jr. Ambassador enjoys her time as much as I have.

Hailey Talbot 2012/2013 Junior Ambassador Markdale Fall Fair
