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.

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!

SECTION 6 • FLOWERS & PLANTS cont.
Guidelines:
(a) Individual blooms of flowers such as marigold &
calendula are shown with only one open bloom
per stem. If an extra bud is present, it must be in
the “tight bud” condition so that it will not show
colour on the show bench
(b) With flowers that have multiple blooms, such as
sweet peas, stocks or phlox, the more blooms
that are open, the better the exhibit
(c) In some cultural classes, for example, petunia,
tuberous begonia, pansy & viola, the flower
alone is judged; stem & foliage are not
considered
(d) Shallow containers allowing individual placement
of the flowers should be used
(e) Flower varieties should be named if possible
(f) If a “vase” is indicated, a plastic container, such
as a pail, is not a vase
(g) No commercial elements are to be used in an
arrangement
(h) Please note the number of blooms/stems
required for each class
(i) A bouquet is NOT an arrangement. You collect
flowers in hand & drop into a vase; do not
arrange.
