One hundred and fifty five years of community spirit in Elmvale, what an achievement. We are pleased to also celebrate the 100th Anniversary of 4-H in Ontario this year as well. A joint celebration between these two organizations is being held in August with a family barbeque, a great way to launch the festivities. I would like to thank the many Directors and Volunteers who help to make the Elmvale Fall Fair one of the best in Ontario. We would also like to thank the Parents, Students and Staff of the local schools for their time and effort in making our children's exhibits such a resounding success. To the Exhibitors in the Homecraft Division and Quilters, wow, what examples of craftsmanship you display at our Fair. Our Domestic Science exhibitors make mouths water, with their delectable creations. Finally, to the Livestock Owners that show their animals in the different competitions, you show that agriculture is still alive and well in the province of Ontario. Thank you to all! Come and celebrate the Elmvale Fall Fair on Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend. Bring your entire family and create some memories!!! elmvalefallfair.com 7 Fall Fair Ambassador 2014-2015 matt Garwood Being an individual who has been born and raised in Elmvale, I have developed a strong appreciation and dedication to this community. Elmvale is not just a town, it is a family. It is a place where everyone knows each other by name and a community that actively looks out for one another. Ever since I can remember, my favorite time of the year was the Elmvale Fall Fair. It was, and is a time that our community could come together and demonstrate leadership, togetherness and solidarity in a positive and fun atmosphere. As soon as I was eligible, I got involved in the Fair in any way that I could. At the age of 13, I was gratefully rewarded with the opportunity of being the 2008 Junior Ambassador. As the years went on, I knew I wanted to represent our town as a Sr. Ambassador, and in October, 2014 my dream came true. Throughout my time as Ambassador, I have learned more about the Fair and what goes into making it possible every year. I have come to admire the respected individuals that present themselves on the Fair Board and are truly grateful for all of the hard work and dedication they put into making the Fair as special as it is. The Fair would not happen without all of our volunteers, and at this time I would like to personally thank everyone who has ever helped with the Fair, you are truly appreciated within our community. The Elmvale Fall Fair is one of the times that our town looks forward to the most, and I would like to encourage everyone to get involved as there is something for every interest. My time representing the Fair has been extremely rewarding and has taught me all about our Agricultural Society and how different Fairs are unique to ours. Although it will be a hard day when I pass the Ambassador title and Sash down to the next leader of our Fair, it has been an amazing experience representing our community and I look forward to the remaining months as your Ambassador. I truly look forward to many more years of Maple Syrup Festivals and Annual Fall Fairs in my future and I look forward to spending many more years with our Town, Community and Family, Elmvale. Junior Fair Ambassador 2014-2015 lauren Rheinheimer Hello everyone, my name is Lauren Rheinheimer and this year I have the privilege of representing the Flos Agricultural Society as the 2014-2015 Junior Ambassador! I am a grade 7 student and a resident of Elmvale since I was born. I consider myself a lucky youth being fortunate enough to live in this amazing rural and plentiful agricultural area. So far throughout my term as junior ambassador it has been amazing. I have learned to present myself properly and confidently. As a role model to youth my age and younger, I will continue to set good examples to the people around me. I encourage all youth who live in our area to participate in this competition, and whenever volunteer opportunities arise. One of my favorite quotes is “Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” by H. Jackson Brown Jr. I would like to thank the Elmvale Fair Board for giving me the chance to experience what being a Junior Ambassador is all about! 2015 FAIR AmBASSADOR INFORmATION It is that time of the year again.

Tractors must be pre-registered, with local residents living within a 25 km radius of Elmvale having until September 15th, 2015 to register. After September 15th, registration will be opened up to non-residents. A “Grandfather Exemption” may apply at the discretion of the tractor pull committee. Participants must provide proof of insurance coverage for their tractor at time of registration. Each driver is only allowed to drive one tractor in one class during the pull. If registering more than one tractor, each additional tractor must have a new driver. Note: New “open” classes will be exempt from this rule. Drivers will not be allowed to move up to the next class. A puller and one helper will be allowed free admission to the grounds. Drivers must be at least 16 years of age. If under 18 years of age, driver must have parent’s consent. All vehicles are subject to an inspection. Each tractor may only be entered by one driver in a class. Each driver may only drive one tractor in a class, except specialty classes. No one is allowed on the track except persons running the tractor pull, and the contestant. All pulling vehicles must be weighed prior to the competition. The maximum weight per class includes both the pulling vehicle and the driver. All pulling vehicles must have an operator in the driver’s seat while being started. All pulls must be started from a tight chain, and on the raising of a green flag by the flag man. All pulls shall operate with 2 flag men on the lefthand side of the track. The starting flag man will be responsible for the readiness of the track, pulling machine and contestant. The second flag man will be responsible for the balance of the course, under the guidance of the Track Official. All vehicles must be in neutral or park (transmission selector) while being hitched or unhitched. Driver must raise both hands while hooking and unhooking. Puller may have the sled spotted in the location of his choice with sufficient notice to the pull-back tractor operator during the return of the sled to the starting line following previous pull. If preceding puller moves the sled any measurable distance, the next puller may have the sled relocated prior to his first attempt. Any contestant who wishes to make his draw in a different gear from which he started his pull, may opt to stop his vehicle before the 75 foot mark. At this point the sled will be returned to the starting position and one new draw will be allowed. At the discretion of the pull committee, the first contestant of each class will be the “test puller” and at the completion of his or her pull may elect to pull again in 3rd position. If a driver elects to do this, his first pull will not be counted. All decisions or re-pulls must be made before the pulling vehicle is unhooked from the sled. Tractors must be stopped immediately upon signal from the flag man. The signal will be the raising of a red flag by the flag man located alongside the edge of the track on the lefthand side of the pulling vehicle. The pull will be considered over when the forward motion of the sled stops. Drivers must remain seated at all times during their pull. No riders in or on pulling vehicles while pulling. All vehicles must have functioning brakes. All weights must be securely fastened on brackets and NOT in the cab or on the platform (no chains). The weights must not obscure the forward or rear vision of the driver. elmvalefallfair.com 23. The hitch must be rigid in all directions, and solidly mounted to the vehicle frame. 24. “D” Hitching Device: The diameter of the square or oval hole is a minimum of 3 inches at the longest measuring points of the hole.

All tractors must be put in a staging area following weigh-in, and not returned to the pit area. 27. Pressurized fuels such as propane or nitrous oxide are not allowed as a secondary fuel. 28. The persons competing must drive the tractor onto the track and off (unless disabled) after competing, with no change of driver. 29. The contestant must proceed with pull at position drawn within 3 minutes of the time the sled is ready. If a puller has a mechanical problem he must drop to the last position. Rule called by Track Official. 30. All participants must obey the rules of the Ontario Tractor Pullers Association. 31. Stock tractors must have hood, floorboards, grill, fenders and be stock appearing. Engines must be stock or manufacturer’s replacement for that model. 32.
