PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 164 th Erin Fall Fair. The year has gone by so incredibly fast and it’s hard to believe that as I write this, the Fair is only four short months away. I am especially looking forward to this year’s Fair as my daughter, Violet, will have just celebrated her 1st Birthday. Taking in the sights and sounds (and tastes) of the Fair with her will be a wonderful experience for our family.

As always, we have a great line up of entertainment planned for the entire weekend. The headliner on Saturday night is Canada’s Ultimate Johnny Cash Tribute Show. Country Music fans will want to come back to the Fair on Sunday to see Wendy Snider and on Monday for Murray Williams’ performance. Crowd favourites High Flying Canines, Birds of Prey and Trevor’s Chainsaw Carving are all back again this year. And of course, nights at the fair would not be the same without the smoke and noise of the Truck and Tractor Pulls and Demolition Derby.

Anyone who saw Rick Mercer learn how to drive a mini chuck wagon last year and thought, gee, I’d like to do that – you’ll have your chance on Monday as Les Sowden and crew offer a mini chuck wagon driving clinic.

The foundation of our Fair, and all agricultural fairs, is of course our livestock and equine shows. Many years ago, Elmer McKinnon dubbed the Erin Fall Fair “Ontario’s Preview to the Royal” because so many winners from Erin went on to win at the Royal. This still holds true today. The animals you see shown at Erin are often the best there is in the province, or even the entire country.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of the hard working volunteers who give countless hours, of their own time, to help EAS make the Fair happen.

Thank you especially to the Ladies of the Homecraft Division, the Main Board and the Executive, Blake, Rob, Lee, Eileen and Joanne for all the hours you spend during the year and at Fair time to make “Ontario’s Preview to the Royal” one of the best fairs in the province.

AMBASSADOR OF THE FAIR’S MESSAGE My Name is Brittany Heller and I am 2013/2014 Erin Fall Fair Ambassador.

What does it mean to be the Erin Fall Fair Ambassador? I had an idea of this going into the competition in the fall, for example, I knew it meant that there were aspects of the fair to be discovered, people to meet, and laughs to share.

However, what I did not know was the sense of pride for the lovely community I call home, the feeling of accomplishment when attending local events on behalf of the Erin Agricultural Society, and the overall sense of belonging.

The Ambassador Program has done wonders, not only have I been delighted to attend events such as The Annual District 7 meeting, which was held in Paris, Ontario this year, I also was delighted and thrilled to take part in the Caledon Snow Fest Ambassador Challenge- where other Ambassador’s came out for a course full of laughs, cheering and of course, snow. Now comes the event that was hyped up from the beginning, Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies Convention, held at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, definitely the experience of a life time, the people are incredible, fellow Ambassadors are very welcoming and the daily workshops were fantastic and eye opening. My year so far is not over, and for this I am glad, as I am soaking in every piece of knowledge possible, I very much look forward to attending other fairs on behalf of The Erin Agricultural Society, and also competing at the 2014 Canadian National Exhibition. This has been a year to savour, and remember for the rest of my life, so much can change in a year, and of course it has, but the one thing that has remained constant is my role as Ambassador and the humble pride that I am so blessed to share with everyone I meet.

I strongly encourage everyone who can to come on out and try out to be the Fair Ambassador. It is an experience that no one will regret.

Best Regards, Brittany Heller

JUNIOR AMBASSADOR’S MESSAGE My name is Julia Gagnon and I am the 2013-2014 Erin Fall Fair Junior Ambassador. Being Junior Ambassador is an amazing experience like no other. You meet many amazing people, attend events in the community but most of all you learn a lot about yourself and grow as a person. I would recommend running for Junior Ambassador to anyone and everyone.

When I first decided to run for Ambassador I was very shy and did not like talking in front of people.

However through delivering greetings at our fair and other events I have become very comfortable with speaking in front of people. If you are thinking of running for Ambassador and think that maybe you are too nervous don’t let that stop you just go for it!

Some of the events that you attend throughout the year are the Santa Claus Parade, District Meeting where you meet the other ambassadors in the area and other neighbouring fairs. I had a blast attending the events and meeting the other ambassadors.

As ambassador you see the fair in a whole new light. I got to see all the hard work that the volunteers on the fair board put into our fair. Without these people our fair would not be as astonishing as it is. They make sure that everything runs smoothly around the fair and that everyone has a great time. I would like to thank all of the volunteers on the fair board for all that you do. Our fair is truly one of the best and that is all because of you, thank you.

I hope that everyone has a great time at the fair this year. There are so many things at the fair that make our community so interesting. I recommend that everyone try to see something new that people in our town have to offer this year.

Julia Gagnon

HOMECRAFT PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE On behalf of the Homecraft Division….Welcome to the 164th Erin Fall Fair. Our theme this year is “Through the Garden Gate”. Make sure that you check out the wonderful exhibits that showcase all the amazing, talented individuals who compete in our fair.

As usual, the Homecraft committees have been busy creating some new sections to compete in. I’m looking forward to see what entries we receive in the photography category “What A Winter!” and “Not In My Garden!” in the Flowers section.

Whether you are a returning exhibitor or a brand new one, don’t be afraid to let your creativity soar.

After admiring all the amazing exhibits, drop by the General Store Café. One of my favourite Erin Fall Fair traditions is indulging in the delicious apple dumplings which the Homecraft division bakes. Make sure you stop and get one for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

I would like to thank all the Homecraft committee members and volunteers for their hard work throughout the year and at the fair. Without them, none of this would be possible. I’d also like to thank our exhibitors and sponsors. You are all instrumental in making Erin Fall Fair a great experience for all ages.

See you at the fair!

Carol Pollock Homecraft President

GIANT VEGETABLE WEIGH-OFF CLASS 32C Rules & Regulations: 1. Rules 1, 2 , 4 and 5 of the Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off apply 2. This class is open to the following vegetables that will be judged by weight. Giant Squash, Tomato, Field pumpkin, Cabbage, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Carrot, Parsnip, Beet, Marrow, Bushel gourd, Pear Gourd, Kohlrabi, Swede/Rutabaga 3. To allow all types of vegetables to compete against each on an even basis in one class we have given a base score of 100 points to various weights of each vegetable. Each vegetable will be weighed and given a score based on that weight with the highest SCORE being the winner (not necessarily the heaviest weight).

4. Judging rules for vegetables not covered by the GPC will follow the rules for judging from the European Giant Vegetable Growers Association. www.egvga.ue 5. Exhibitors may submit more than one TYPE of vegetable in this class (to receive an official weight) but only the one scoring the highest points will be eligible for prize money.

6. The weight required for a score of 100 points for each vegetable will be as follows: SQUASH- 1100LBS , TOMATO – 5LBS , FIELD PUMPKIN– 100LB CABBAGE – 80LBS, WATERMELON - 175LBS, MARROW – 80LBS CARROT & PARSNIP – 10LBS, BEET – 20LBS, CANTALOUPE- 40LBS BUSHEL GOURD – 160LBS, KOHLRABI – 40LBS, SWEDE/RUTABAGA – 60LBS, ONION – 5LBS, PEAR GOURD – 130LBS. For example a Squash weighing 975 pounds would receive a score of 88.6 and a tomato weighing 4.9 pounds would receive a score of 98 and be declared the winner. Formula used is (weight of your vegetable x 100) divided by the 100 score weight from the table above = score given to your vegetable.
