NORTH THOMPSON FALL FAIR & RODEO

1950 - 2008 NORTH THOMPSON FALL FAIR AND RODEO CELEBRATES 59 YEARS

THEN AND NOW - LOOK HOW FAR WE’VE COME! THEN: Back in 1950, what had been a dream for local farm and ranch families became a reality. The Native Sons of Canada lent their Louis Creek grounds and hall for the first fall fair which was held on Labour Day. The fall fair catalogue of 12 pages promised: “To make your Labour Day a real holiday, a full round of entertainment during the day and evening is assured. A softball tournament, track and field events and horseshoe pitching contests will be held during the day. Games and concessions will be operating on the grounds. In the evening a dance will be held in the hall.” The catalogue included 11 sections for competition, with a large section devoted to ‘Women’s Work’ including such as ‘Embroidery on flour sacking for household use’.

The first Fall Fair was attended by an estimated crowd of 500.

NOW: In 2008, the dream lives on. Len Johnson’s words of fifty-nine years ago are as true today: “For a fair to be a success, it must first be centered in a farming district, and secondly, it must have the support of the people of the community.” Fueled by outstanding volunteerism since its inception the North Thompson Fall Fair (NTFF) and Rodeo has steadily evolved and expanded. Some of the faces remain the same, many familiar family names remain, but new faces are always welcomed. The location, exhibits, games, attractions and queen pageant have all changed over the past 59 years, but the focus of the fair still is: “A celebration of agriculture, livestock, western country living and community spirit”. In 2006 the North Thompson Fair was awarded honours by the Province of BC for our Showcase of Agriculture.

Today, the NTFF and Rodeo begins the week before, with the crowning of the Fall Fair queen. The fair spans all three days of the Labour Day weekend and has been held on its own East Barriere Lake Road grounds since 1970. The site has grown considerably to its present size of 26 acres.

The fair offers far more events and types of competition than the founding members could have imagined.

Visitors can come early for a pancake breakfast, take in a day’s worth of livestock and equestrian shows, enjoy exciting rodeo action, pony chariot races, and chuckwagon race action. There are hundreds of items on display inside the exhibit hall. Adults can stay late and dance Saturday night and take-in a Cowboy Concert on Sunday night in the NTFF Hall.

Our catalogue has increased in size offering many different sections for the exhibitor and emphasis is placed on the importance of agricultural educational content in all aspects of the fair.

The North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo is now attended by an estimated crowd of just under 10,000.

Over half a century after a small energetic group of volunteers put together the first ever North Thompson Fall Fair, the small town spirit remains the same, as dozens of enthusiastic volunteers work together year round to host the valley’s single biggest event each Labour Day Weekend.

The dream lives on because a group of volunteers and participants work hard together each year to keep it so.

NORTH THOMPSON FALL FAIR & RODEO

EVERYBODY PLAYS A PART Wow! This will be the 59th year for the Annual North Thompson Fall Fair & Rodeo. An event that started before many of us were born has turned into a major North Thompson Valley event and has been recognized provincially for its excellence.

The fair's continued growth and success is a testament to the hundreds of dedicated people who step forward each year to lend a hand and create great memories for the thousands who walk through our gates.

The theme of the fair this year is HORSES, and we look forward to hearing lots of positive 'clucking' about all the wonderful new additions and changes you will find within this catalogue.

Start planning now what you will be entering in the 2008 competitions – plant a few extra veggies, grow another bed of flowers, crank-up the sewing machine.

Whether your talent lies in baking, gardening, woodworking, hobbies, quilting or more, you will find a full contingent of classes available to enter.

Our livestock exhibitors and heavy horse competitors fill their classes and the 'gentle giants' bring a special flavour of times gone by – they show our visitors what raising quality animals and agriculture is all about.

The rodeo contestants provide the thrills and spills and the pony chariots and chuckwagons give everyone an opportunity to cheer.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of the wonderful contestants, competitors, commercial exhibitors, and parade participants who continue to help bring three days of top agricultural entertainment into the valley.

The NTFFRA members and our 100 plus volunteers are looking forward to working with you again at this year's event.

Sewing Garment Criteria: Creative Criteria 1.

3.

4.

Fabric - should work with the garment style Colours Topstitching - should highlight the overall shape Buttons or closures - should be either focal points or appear neutral

Technical Criteria 1.

4.

5.

6.

Grainline - determines the drape and fit Seams - Pressed Seam Allowance- trimmed, clipped & finished Hems - even Inside - look as good as the outside Linings - right amount of ease and as accurate as the outer garments.

What Judges Look For In A Prize Winning Quilt • Overall appearance: Both front and back, judges look at both sides • Effective use of colour: Is there visual appeal? Is there original use of colour and design?

• Appropriate use of prints: Have a mix of large, medium, small prints, be careful not to overpower some prints with others.

• Bindings: Nice, even stitches should be dispersed across the quilt. Make sure there is sufficient quilting over the entire surface of the quilt, and that it is balanced. Don’t leave large unfilled areas.

• Machine Quilting: Don’t overdo it. Too much detailed machine quilting obscures the pieced design and can cause quilts to “belly” or “waffle”. Bury the ends of the threads in the quilt.

• Cleanliness: No smudges, no pencil lines, no dog or cat hair, and ideally unwashed & unused.

• Construction: How well is it put together, are seams straight, do points come together? No floating seams, no pitches in seams, all pieced blocks should lay flat, make sure corners are 90 degrees, etc.

DID YOU KNOW?

Potato tato Trivia

A figure of speech...

The Irish referred to potatoes as “spuds,” the name that came from a type of spade used for digging potatoes.

The word “pothole” which we use to describe a hole in the road came from the Irish. The boiled their daily meal of potatoes in a pot. When the potatoes were finished cooking, the pot was lifted off the fire and set on the ground to cool.

In the process of mashing the potatoes, the pot would be pushed into the ground. In time, a deep hole would develop, a pothole!

A couch potato -- someone who is glued to the TV and never exercises He’s a cold potato -- someone who is not warmspirited

“Little pigs eat great potatoes.” An Irish saying.

• Today potatoes are grown in all 50 states of the USA and in about 125 countries throughout the world.

• The sweet potato belongs in the same family as morning glories while the white potato belongs to the same group as tomatoes, tobacco, chili pepper, eggplant and the petunia.

• The average American eats about 124 pounds of potatoes per year while Germans eat about twice as much.

• In 1974, an Englishman named Eric Jenkins grew 370 pounds of potatoes from one plant.

• Thoman Jefferson gets the credit for introducing “French Fries” to America when he served them at a White House dinner.
