Fall Fair sponsorship essential to success

The directors of the Shelburne District Agricultural Society remind businesses and individuals that sponsoring the 148th Shelburne Fair is essential to its continued success. Sponsorships must be received prior to March 21st in order to secure a place in the 2015 fair book which is distributed throughout the Dufferin County area. The sponsorship program offers advertising opportunities with “five levels of sponsorship, so any size business or individual can join in and contribute.”
This year, the fair will be held from September 18-20th, and the volunteer driven board members are actively preparing for their new theme of “Mason Jars and Shining Stars”. Patrons will enjoy horse shows, a demolition derby, a giant pumpkin auction, entertainment, the midway, car show, vendors, lawn tractor races, livestock shows, exhibits and demonstrations, as well as antiques and farm equipment. It is always a fun and exciting day for the whole family with a long list of accessible craft competitions which can be found in the fair book
The Shelburne and District Fair first began in 1867, and is representative of the Townships of Mulmur, Melancthon, Amaranth, Mono and the town of Shelburne. The non-profit organization has been “committed to preserving the culture of agriculture and keeping the community together by organizing a Fall Fair” annually since it began. In 2014, the Fair Board made a move to become self sufficient and make the grounds accessible to other groups and events. The renovations, which included a long list of upgrades and a new look for the Show Barn, were amazing and received many compliments from the crowds at the fair. Improvements continue, leading up to the excitement of Shelburne District Agricultural Society's sesquicentennial in 2017.
Jason Yarwood 2nd Vice President of the Fair Board reports, “The fair showcases exhibits from all ages, competitions in hundreds of categories and entertainment throughout the weekend. Sponsorship for the fair may come in the form of donations of goods and services or financial contributions – all are equally appreciated, and every little bit counts. All our financial contributions go directly to Entertainment, Cash prizes, the Ambassador Program, the Classic Car Show and maintaining the fair grounds. Sponsors may also have the opportunity to work directly at the fair whether it's manning a booth or demonstrating a product or service.
