Brussels always has a good thing growing as we can happily say our village is thriving and doing well, and so is our annual fall fair. Our homecraft section wouldn’t be what it is today without the awesome exhibitors who worked hard year round to prepare, grow and create such talented items to show. If you have never been an exhibitor at the fair, I would encourage you to take a look at our fair book, either the hard copy or at our website: www.brusselsfallfair.ca to see what the different sections are. There’s a section for everyone! It’s certainly a rewarding experience to see your hard work on display…with or without a ribbon attached to it. It gives people a great sense of pride to see the beautiful flowers that they’ve grown and lovingly tended to or the homemade bread they’ve spent hours baking. I remember as a child, racing to the arena once the doors were open to see my schoolwork hung up on display and proudly showing my family and friends what work was mine. In order for our fair to grow and keep the tradition alive for another 150 years, we need the next generation to participate and get involved in homecraft. So spend time this year and help your son/daughter make something special. Mark your calendars for this year’s fair which is happening on Tuesday, September 15 and Wednesday, September 16, 2015. There’s always lots to see and do at the Brussels Fall Fair as well as catch up with fellow neighbours and friends. I look forward to seeing you at the Fair where there’s Family Fun for Everyone! – Nicole Noble, Homecraft President PAST PRESIDENTS - HOMECRAFT DIVISION Marie Turnbull, Peggy Cudmore ............................Earlier Margaret Craig ........................................................1964 - 1965 Evelyn Mair ............................................................1966 - 1967 Jane Grasby............................................................1968 - 1969 Aileen Mutter ..........................................................1970 - 1971 Wilma Hemingway ..................................................1972 Margaret Bennett ....................................................1973 - 1974 Helen Wheeler ........................................................1975 - 1976 Barb Dunbar............................................................1977 - 1978 Joan Bernard ..........................................................1979 - 1980 Leona McDonald ....................................................1981 Margaret Bennett ....................................................1982 - 1983 Bessie Johnson ......................................................1984 - 1985 Betty Cardiff ............................................................1986 - 1987 Joan Bernard ..........................................................1988 - 1989 Mary Ann Miners ....................................................1990 Lois McCall ............................................................1991 - 1992 Janis Bray ..............................................................1993 - 1994 Leona Armstrong ....................................................1995 - 1996 Bev Palmer ............................................................1997 - 2000 Elizabeth De Wit ....................................................2001 - 2003 Cathy Cardiff ..........................................................2004 - 2005 Jo-Ann McDonald ..................................................2006 - 2007 Dona Knight ............................................................2008 - 2009 Cathrine Campbell ..................................................2010 - 2011 Fran Breckenridge ..................................................2011 - 2013 3 AMBASSADOR OF THE FAIR Don’t blink! That is my biggest piece of advice for the next Ambassador! My year as the 2014-2015 Brussels Fall Fair Ambassador has flown by! Thinking back to that day in August, sitting on stage with my fellow contestants, I had no idea I would be crowned Ambassador, and had no idea the year that was ahead of me! With Nicole’s and Kabrina’s guidance I tackled a lot – from the Brussels Fall Fair and all that it entails. Opening the Fair by cutting the corn stalk rope, decorating a cake competing against some fellow community members, handing out ribbons to the 4H winners to riding in the parade – it was two days that I will remember forever! Some other highlights would have to be the Santa Claus parades, wrapped in blankets and lights to keep warm. Another extremely memorable experience was the OAAS Convention in Toronto with the other 93 Fair Ambassadors across Ontario, meeting new friends and enjoying all the events that were available to us. Some other memories from this past year include, the District 8 Ambassador competition, where I spent the day with my fellow district members followed by the competition. I also got to cut the ribbon at the fourth annual Brussels Farmer’s Market! Something I am greatly looking forward to is the CNE weekend in August, where I will once again meet my fellow Ambassadors! Of course an exciting event will be crowning my successor in August and passing on my title to the next lucky person! Of course I would not have had this opportunity without the Brussels Agriculture Society. I would like to extend my gratitude for allowing me to sit in on your meetings and have a voice! I would also like to thank the Ambassador co-ordinators who put so much work not only into the competition day, but all year! I am honoured to have been given this amazing opportunity and will treasure it forever! It truly has been a year to remember, and to my successor: DON’T BLINK! The year will fly by! – Jamee Johnston 2014-2015 Brussels Fall Fair Ambassador 4 FAIR QUEENS/AMBASSADORS 1980-1981 1981-1982 1982-1983 1983-1984 1984-1985 1985-1986 1986-1987 1987-1988 1988-1989 1989-1990 1990-1992 1992-1993 1993-1995 1995-1996 1996-1997 1997-1998 1998-1999 1999-2000 2000-2001 2001-2002 2002-2003 2003-2004 2004-2005 2005-2006 2006-2007 2007-2008 2008-2009 2009-2010 Linda Machan Nanci Bennett Kathy Hulzebos Cathy McGavin Bonnie Evans Karen Knight Linda Tenpas Karla King Angela Nethery Margaret Cronyn Mary Terpstra Margaret Jarvis Sharon Godkin Stacy Hahn Karri-Anne Nicholson LeeAnn McDonald Cynthia De Wit Katie Harrison Patricia Wilbee Kelly McDonald Nicole Lowe Mandy Mitchell Candice McLellan Yvonne De Wit Alyssa Gowing Sara Baker Kari Bell Jolanda Smith 2010-2011 2011-2012 2012-2013 2013-2014 2014-2015 Morgan Deitner Hannah McCutcheon Meagan Dolmage Kabrina Bishop Jamee Johnston OPENING NIGHT The “Dog Show” Tuesday, September 15, 2015 Tuesday, September 15, 2015 Brussels Agricultural Society presents BMG Community Centre Arena Auditorium Free registration at 6:45 p.m. Dog show starts at 7:15 p.m. 6:30 p.m. Exhibit Hall Open Categories: • Best Dressed Dog • Best Trick • Most Tricks • Most Unique Looking Dog • Fastest Treat Eater • Friendliest Dog 7:00 p.m. Opening Ceremonies 7:15 p.m. – Dog Show 8:00 p.m. Entertainment TBA MIDWAY Enter as many categories as you wish.

Parents are urged to allow their children to do the work and preparation of their exhibits on their own. Encourage them, but remember that the work you do for them defeats the purpose of the fair. Students must exhibit according to their grades before the Summer holidays and not according to the class they are in at the time of the fair. Beginners may show only in open classes or where specified for beginners. Grade 8 students who are in Grade 9 in September may enter in the Junior Section. Students are responsible for taking the exhibits in the Junior Section directly to the fairgrounds, NOT TO THE SCHOOL. Exhibits are to be at the arena auditorium on Monday evening between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. or Tuesday by 12 noon. PRIZES Prizes awarded according to merit. Prizes for all categories will be: 1st - $4, 2nd - $3, 3rd - $2.
