Homegrown, Handmade & Farm Fresh Fall Fair 2018
Welcome to the 2018 Salt Spring Island Fall Fair, an Island Tradition Celebrating our Agricultural Community’s Efforts and Successes. The first Fall Fair on Salt Spring Island was held at Central Hall (built by the Farmers’ Institute) in 1896. Until 1979, the fair was held in a number of island locations, including the Elementary School and Mahon Hall. Then, it found a permanent home here on Rainbow Road. Like many community facilities (even the first school) erected on Salt Spring Island over the years, the buildings at the Salt Spring Island Farmers’ Institute were built by our members and volunteers. Starting in January, members of the Fall Fair Core Committee and the Directors of the Farmers’ Institute meet to plan the fair and decide on the theme. This year we chose “Homegrown, Handmade and Farm Fresh”. The theme speaks to our rural roots, our farming heritage and our unique island lifestyle which embraces individuality. As you walk around the fair, relax and enjoy what island farmers and rural folk love to do. You will have the pleasure of seeing an awesome array of homegrown and farm fresh produce, fruits, vegetables, flowers, poultry, livestock and field crops. You can even watch some vegetables race against each other on the ‘Zucchini 500’ track, or bite into and vote for the best tasting fresh apple on Salt Spring Island. You will witness the diversity and amazing artistic flair of the island in the handmade quilts, basketry, weaving, paintings, photographs, junior hobby arts, and observe family secret recipes in home baking and preserving. In the food court, many local community groups and their volunteers are ready to serve you tasty local fare. Our volunteers, hundreds of them, are ready to welcome you to the Salt Spring Fall Fair. Relax and Enjoy the Fair.
Enjoy your Fair

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
The Board of Directors
THE Salt Spring Island Farmers’ Institute Board of Directors 2018 Bruce Marshall (President) Dave Walls, Tony Threlfall (Vice President) Marguerite Lee (Treasurer) Merv Walde, Rick Vipond, Jerome Wilkinson, Conrad Pilon (Secretary), Mike Hogan, Kerry Lee
T
he theme of this year’s Fall Fair “HOMEGROWN, HANDMADE, AND FARM FRESH” can easily be included in every category of the Fair and readily explains the past tradition and future ambition of the Fair. This year marks the 122nd anniversary of this community event and we are working hard to ensure that the tradition survives and thrives for the next 122 years. We need help to make this happen. Younger bodies will be needed to carry on the tradition. To that end, we have asked all of the coordinators to include a special category for children. We will add several youth oriented features and feel confident that today’s young people will carry on this “HOMEGROWN” event. The Farmers’ Institute is, of course, much more than an entertainment enterprise. Since 1895 the Institute has been serving the community in a multitude of ways. The important task of keeping the needs of Agriculture in the forefront of the news and at the top of the list of government priorities never diminishes. There is always one more issue, or another round of meetings to clarify an important topic. One of the unexpected highlights of this year was a surprise visit by Lana Popham, the new Minister of Agriculture. It is rare that a Minister drops in on an unscheduled basis and refreshing to sit around the table and exchange views. We
8 © FAIRTIME 2018
presented Ms. Popham with a copy of our 120th Anniversary book “Farms, Farmers, Farming... the first 80 years of Agriculture on Salt Spring Island”. This Institute is one of the oldest in the province and we are proud of our record of public service. This year Riley Byers, Terry Clements and Vic Parks retired as Directors. Thanks to all three for their contributions. Three new Directors were elected by acclamation at our annual AGM. Kerry Lee, Merv Walde and Dave Walls joined the Board and each brings a new set of qualifications and valuable opinions. After 14 years serving as President, one of the longest tenures in the Institute’s history, Rick Vipond stepped down as President but will continue on as a Director. Board member Bruce Marshall was nominated to be President and was unanimously acclaimed. We look forward to seeing you all at the Fair. Lots of new and special events are being prepared for this year’s Fair. Your friends and neighbors have been busy since last year working on this year’s entries. Come and enjoy those special entries and displays. While you’re here, try some of the extraordinary foods being offered and enjoy some of the outstanding music performed by our local musicians.
See you at the Fair! DRIFTWOOD JUNE 27, 2018

SOME OF THE “BE SURE AND SEE” ITEMS AT THIS YEAR’S FAIR One of the most interesting new events at this year’s Fair will undoubtedly be the Hay Bale Maze. Director Dave Walls has designed the maze specifically with the youth group in mind. This promises to be a “don’t miss” attraction. Another special event will be the reintroduction of the Passport program. Be sure and pick up a passport for each child under 12 as you enter the fair. Submit your completed passport at the information booth and be elegible for a special prize. The Fair will be repeating the Saturday only Horse Show. This proved to be very popular last year. Unfortunately, we can only present a one-day show since we do not have the barn facilities for overnight accommodations. Every year we look forward to the Poultry Co-ordinator’s presentation. As well as some spectacular chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and other rare birds, the co-ordinator always comes up with an “extraordinary” event. Last year’s chicken races were really special. While you are touring the barn areas, be sure and take a look at the antique cars. There is always a special vehicle on display. There’ll also be a display of electric vehicles which are very newsworthy these days! The usual field events are on the “must see” list. The Zucchini races never cease to attract the largest crowds. The participants all design the “best and winning” racer hoping that they’ll be this year’s champion. Located right beside the Zucchini track are the sheep dog demonstrations. These amazing herding 12 © FAIRTIME 2018
dogs never cease to amaze and entertain the crowds. Another of the don’t miss attractions is the antique equipment displays. Included in this presentation is a threshing demonstration. A crew of dedicated men spend the year restoring old and antique tractors and early farming equipment. The restored sawmill is running and scheduled demonstrations will take place during the fair. Check the schedule of events for times. While you’re at the Museum Complex checking out the old equipment, drop into the Museum itself. There are several new exhibits and a new display of early settler farming photos with historical data included. John Fulker, Museum Curator, is constantly changing the displays and, of course, new “old” pieces are donated regularly. Located in the Museum complex is the Blacksmith shop. The livestock barn and 4-H barn present a new show every year. Be sure and pay special attention to the 4-H
members. Have a talk with them....they will amaze you with their accumulated knowledge of their entry. 4-H also have a special photography exhibit in the small building next to the 4-H Barn. The main exhibition building is chocka-block full of eye candy. The fruit and vegetable displays are always well presented. Watch for the family farm displays! When you look at the displays and the thought runs through your head “my apples or carrots looked just as good as those blue ribbon specimens”, remember that next year and make an entry. Take special note of the quilts in the needlework section. Every year the quilters never fail to amaze us. One of the outstanding sections is the photography exhibit. Right next to the photography section is the Hobby Arts which never fail to bring out the best in the young participants. Across from the main exhibition building is the Annex. This building houses the Guilds presentation. The Potters, Basket Makers, Weavers and Spinners and Painters will all have a totally new must-see show. There are bound to be several unexpected surprises. The participants never seem to amaze us with their creative and ingenious entries. We look forward to seeing you at this 122nd Fall Fair. We think it will probably be the best ever!! DRIFTWOOD JUNE 27, 2018

RABBITS & CAVIES For precautionary safety reasons, Section 24 Rabbits and Cavies will not be held at our 2018 Fall Fair. A virus that has already killed hundreds of feral rabbits on Vancouver Island has spread and the B.C. government is warning pet owners to take precautions. The government says recent tests on dead feral rabbits on Vancouver Island and Delta confirmed the presence of rabbit haemorrhagic disease, a calicivirus that includes a fever, convulsions and kills a rabbit within 36 hours. The government issued its initial warning earlier this month after three rabbits sent to the Animal Health Centre in Abbotsford were determined to have died of the disease, which is exclusive to rabbits and does not 38 © FAIRTIME 2018

affect cats, dogs, horses, other pets or humans. B.C.’s chief wildlife veterinarian, Helen Schwantje, said the highly infectious and deadly rabbit virus was making its first confirmed appearance in B.C. and third in Canada. “Pet owners should monitor their rabbits daily for signs of illness and contact their veterinarian immediately with any concerns,” said a statement issued by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. It says the virus causes hemorrhages by affecting the blood vessels and attacks the liver and other organs. “Most affected rabbits die suddenly, but can show signs of listlessness, lack of co-ordination, behaviour changes, or trouble breathing before death.”
Schwantje said earlier the cause of the outbreak has not been determined, but it likely came from an infected domestic rabbit released at or near the university campus in Nanaimo. The government statement says pet owners can protect their rabbits by keeping cages and areas clean and keeping the animals away from areas where feral rabbits feed and roam. The virus spreads easily between rabbits through direct contact with bedding, feed and water as well as feces and body fluids or contact with contaminated ground. The B.C. Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says rabbit owners should talk to their veterinarian about taking precautions to protect their pets. It says a vaccine is available in Canada.

Be Water Wise
Use Only What You Need Water is a precious resource and supplies on Salt Spring are much more limited than in other parts of BC. Please join islanders as we work together to ensure that this summer, and every summer, we use this limited resource wisely. Try these conservation tips: • Keep showers short. • Run only full loads in dishwashers and washing machines. • Shut off the tap while brushing teeth, shaving, and washing. • Flush less often. • Inform guests about our island’s limited water supply, and ask them to be part of the solution.
Together we can make a difference
