The theme of this year’s fair is “Farm Gate to Dinner Plate”. Come out and browse the exhibits which will be on display till the Sunday this year, take in the entertainment throughout the fair, and enjoy coffee and pie at the hospitality booth. I would like to take this opportunity to mention some special events that are happening at the fair. Come out and enjoy a great breakfast Saturday morning, compete in the human truck pull, take in the light horse show, walk around and view the display of Case tractors. Come out and bid on some excellent pork at the famous pork auction Friday night. We are once again having a great midway for all to enjoy. Also, on Sunday we will be having a delicious fish fry. I have the privilege of thanking all of our loyal and hard working volunteers who donate countless hours in the months before the fair and also the days of the fair. Without these volunteers the fair would never happen. The generosity of our many donors and sponsors who donate cash and gifts, is greatly appreciated. The gifts are used as special prizes for our exhibitors and also as prizes in our Chinese Auction. Last but certainly not least, I would like to extend my thanks on behalf of the Fair Board to all the exhibitors. Your hard work and creativity are what make the fair exhibits and displays so interesting for everyone who attends the fair. Thank you to each and every one for your efforts. My hope is that you will enjoy the many events and activities that the 156th Howick-Turnberry Fall Fair has to offer. Come and visit with your neighbours, have some friendly competition with your friends and neighbours and see the efforts of those who exhibit in our community. Come out and enjoy an awesome time! There Is Something For Everyone! Sincerely, Bart Scherpenzeel, President 3 Ambassador Message: Everyone says “time flies when you’re having fun”, well that is a perfect way to sum up my year as the 2014/2015 Howick Turnberry Fall Fair Ambassador. My year was off to a great start when I went to the public schools to talk about the fair. Everyone had so many questions and they were all so excited and couldn’t wait for the weekend! I then got to attend the fair all 3 days and despite the rain, it was fantastic! I got all the candy apples and french fries I could eat, and I enjoyed the whole weekend, especially the pet show, the cake decorating contest, and the pork auction. I loved being such a big part of the fair. As a kid I always attended every year and to be the ambassador this year was a great addition to my memories of the fair that I will talk about in the near and far future. My year continued when I went to the OAAS convention at the Royal York Hotel where I had the pleasure of meeting over 90 other ambassadors! We got to know each other a bit better at the icebreaker party and during the 3 days we were there I learned so much about the other agricultural fairs and agriculture in general. A few months later along came the district 8 competition where we played team building games all day and ended the night saying our speeches and the new district 8 ambassador was crowned. As my journey as fair ambassador continued I was asked by the Women’s Institute (my sponsor for the competition), to write an essay to apply for a scholarship! What an exciting moment when I got it. In late June I was headed to Manitoba/ North Dakota to go to the Peace Garden… I couldn’t have had a better time that week. I got to meet girls from different provinces which included Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. I am looking forward to attending the other fairs in district 8 in the months ahead as well as the cruise night, the farmers market, and other community events. I have many more fun things to do before my year is over, and I will look back on this experience with a smile and some great memories! I hope to see everyone at this year’s fair while I accompany the 2015/2016 ambassador. I am confident that in the years to come our fair will continue to bring everyone together as a community and be a fun filled weekend for all ages. Sincerely, Jess Walther 4 Homecraft President’s Message On behalf of the Homecraft Division, we welcome you to the 156th Howick Turnberry Fall Fair. Our theme is “Farm Gate to Dinner Plate”, featuring local produce and homemade products. We would like to invite EVERYONE within our local communities to become involved with our fair by volunteering, exhibiting or attending. Volunteers of all ages are needed to make the first weekend in October a truly wonderful event! See you there! Velma Sothern & Lorraine Strong, Homecraft Presidents Howick-Turnberry 4-H 4H is a grassroots organization of leaders building leaders. 4H emphasizes the importance of looking at the big picture; that youth need to see beyond themselves and focus on how their actions affect their relationships, their community, the environment and society as a whole. 4-H has grown considerably this year, with several new clubs available to children ages 9 - 21, as well as Cloverbuds, open to children 6 - 8 years old. On Sunday, October 4th, the Sheep, Rabbit and Horse clubs will hold their Achievement program at the fair, beginning in the morning. Children who are 6 years old by January 1st are welcome to join the Cloverbud program in 2016. Those who are 9 years old by January 1st may join any regular clubs offered in 2016. Clubs being offered will be available in “What’s Happening in Howick” Newsletter. Howick 4-H Club howick4h@gmail.com 5 Howick Farmers’ Market Already in it's 5th season, the Howick Farmers' Market, is a popular place to be on a Saturday morning. Open 9 - 12 noon from the first Saturday in June to the last Saturday in September, the market features vendors selling veggies and fruits, delicious breads, cookies and pies along with pork, beef and lamb, jams and preserves. Other vendors are offering beautifully handcrafted items in wood and fabric. Rounding out the selection are Tupperware, Steeped Tea, Epicure and bags by "31". Three picnic tables provide a popular spot where market goers can sit and relax, visit with friends and neighbours and enjoy coffee and muffins sold by members of the Howick Agriculture Society. Burgers and sausages on a bun are available hot off the BBQ! We invite everyone to visit the Howick Farmers' Market. We know that you will enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the quality and variety of our vendors' products.
