Message from the Town of Claresholm Message from the President Welcome to Fair Days! Claresholm is a strong & vibrant southern Alberta community built on a solid foundation of hard work, family & community service. Never are those values more evident than every August when we welcome friends, family & visitors to help celebrate our annual Fair Days. We are proud of both our farming & ranching heritage, & our progressive & dynamic outlook for the future. Fair Days is that special time of the year when we turn up the hospitality, extend a warm welcome & showcase our wonderful community. From the Saturday parade, Legion events, family activities in Amundsen Park & Lions Club Beef-on-a-Bun, to Sunday’s Classic Car show, Claresholm is alive with activities for all. The Bench Show is truly a historic town event; where community members have come together for over 100 years to showcase their crafts, artwork, garden successes, baking, & special talents. So catch a ball game, head over to the museum or take a stroll downtown & enjoy our many local shops & services. The welcome mat is always out, & we thank everyone for participating. Enjoy your visit! Rob Steel, Mayor It is with great pleasure I welcome you to the Claresholm & District Fair & Bench show. We are continually trying to create classes & sections for you. You will see different exhibits that you can enjoy at the show. Our new catalogue has lots of new classes & a new section called Garden Art/Decor. We hope to have a large display related to our yearly themes; 2015 - Sports, 2016 - A Salute to Flight. In 2015 we welcome team or individual sports items to put on display, & in 2016 we will do a display on flight. We continue to get more & more support for the Fair from our community businesses, be it barbecues, financial support or prizes. We thank the businesses for supporting us & we ask that you support the local businesses. Bring your children & enjoy our petting zoo, money pile & other activities. We hope that you can find categories to display your talents to the community. We try to get judges that will give you hints on how to help you with your entries. I hope you find this helpful & that you enjoy the Fair in 2015, 2016. Syd Gray, President, Claresholm Bench Show Don’t forget the PET SHOW! Friday at 7 p.m. - North end of arena Entry fee is $1/pet. Everyone welcome! Please note: Following pet show, pets must be removed through north door. Claresholm Bench Show 2015 & 2016 Celebrating over 100 years! Page 3 now you’re living… Claresholm is a wonderful town in which to live, work, raise a family & retire. We have all of the amenities your family could need & have excellent medical services for our young or mature citizens. With the famous Rocky Mountains & beautiful foothills rising in the west, & abundant crops to the east, Claresholm is truly located “where the wheatlands meet the range.” The winter climate is highly variable, due to the famous Chinook, a warm southwestern wind sweeping down the eastern slopes of the Rockies which can raise temperatures by as much as 34 degrees celsius in one day! Want to go swimming? Or try your hand (& your clubs) at our 18-hole golf course? How about ice skating? Curling rink? Our arena is also home to our summer Farmer’s Market. Check out the public library, or the downtown business community. Enjoy a stop at the Royal Canadian Legion, or a visit with any of our dedicated service clubs. Stop in one of our parks (how about our spray park?) for a nice summer picnic or just hang around as the kids play in the playground. The list is endless… From Claresholm Town Council, we welcome you & your family to our community & hope you decide to stay. …now you’re home!
