HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2012-08-30, Page 12PAGE 12. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 2012. Brussels Fall Fair AmbassadorHannah McCutcheon headed off tothe CNE on Aug. 12 to participate in
the CNE Ambassador of the Fairs
competition. Hannah and the rest of
the local Fall Fair ambassadors from
within District 8 all rode to the CNE
in the limo.
From there Hannah participated in
her interview with a panel of three
judges. She felt she did a great job of
her interview and was able to
impress them with one of her own
interesting CNE facts.
For the next few days, all the
ambassadors were kept busy
attending different seminars – self
defense, how to talk about
agriculture and the proper ways to
build your resume were some of the
topics. They were given lots of free
time to look around the CNE
grounds, and to talk to people and
explain who they were and why they
were there.
They also participated in the
Mardi Gras parade, toured a farm
and had a formal dinner above the
Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
On Sunday, the semi-finals were
held in the morning at the Queen
Elizabeth Theatre, where each
contestant came on stage and
introduced themselves and their
Agricultural Society. At 2 p.m. the
final competition began where the
top seven contestants wereannounced. The ambassadors thatwere in the top seven semi-finalists
were: Milverton, Feversham,
Norwood, Palmerston, Arthur,
Rockton and Listowel.
From there each contestant had to
give their prepared speech. The
judges then had to pick the top three
finalists and they were from
Norwood, Milverton and Listowel.
These finalists had to answer an
impromptu question which would
decided a winner. The new CNE
Ambassador of the Fairs was
announced and it was Linda Slits
from the Milverton Agricultural
Society. There were a total of 66
contestants taking part in the
competition.
In attendance supporting Hannah
were Brussels Agricultural Society
President/Ambassador Co-ordinator
Nicole Noble, Ambassador Co-chair
Maggie Speer, Ruth Lowe, Morgan
Deitner and from Hannah’s family
Gary, Jane, Luke McCutcheon and a
cousin Madison, and Tanner Cardiff.
Hannah reports a great time and
that she had a lot of fun. The
Brussels Agricultural Society is
extremely proud of Hannah for an
awesome year as ambassador and
wishes her all the best as she heads
off to the University of Waterloo in
the fall.
