Dozens of people were on hand to
witness Bryn McInnes from Sacred
Heart School in Wingham being
crowned Elementary School Fair
Ambassador.
In its first-ever ambassador night,
which has been declared a success
by Elementary School Fair board
president Anne Procter, McInnes
edged out Amelia Foreman from
Maitland River Elementary School,
being named ambassador for the
2019 fair and the 2019-2020 season.
Previously, the ambassador was
chosen by the board during one of its
regular meetings, but, with the 99th
iteration of the fair set for this year,
that same board felt there needed to
be more pomp and circumstance
associated with the decision, Procter
said.
“We wanted to invite more people
to attend and participate,” she said.
“We had approximately 34 people in
attendance, so the event was
definitely a success.”
A number of past fair ambassadors
were on hand for the event,
including outgoing Ambassador
James Speer, who officially passed
his responsibilites on to McInnes
and Abigail Peel, who emceed the
event on Saturday night in Belgrave.
“We really want to thank our
previous Ambassador James Speer,
who did a terrific job representing
the school fair last year,” she said.
McInnes plans on speaking to
local schools about the event. The
ambassador is also usually involved
in programming leading up to the
fair, including craft days held in
Belgrave and Brussels this summer.
In preparation for the 99th fair, the
board is also starting a calendar
fundraiser this year and is asking for
photographs from former fairs to
help make the calendar interesting.
Nikki Freiburger is the contact
person for the project and anyone
with photos can reach out to her at
nikki_howard27@hotmail.com or
call 519-357-4281. Procter said
submissions are appreciated before
June 30.
