Homecoming fundraiser good news for Ag. Soc.
Fair winners
Awards were presented at the Brussels Agricultural Society annual meeting last Wednesday
night at the BMG Community Centre. Fair Ambassador Lee Ann McDonald, back left,
presented the Jeanne Ireland Award for highest points in schoolwork exhibited at the 1997
fall fair to Jason Snider, front left. Jeff Cardiff presented the Murray Cardiff Award for highest
points in the Junior section to Jessica Spink.
Brussels Agricultural Society
held its annual meeting at the
BM&G Community Centre on
Wednesday, Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
President Dorothy Cummings
called the meeting to order. In
reviewing 1997 she mentioned the
main fundraiser was the
Homecoming Barbecue.
Attendance of approximately 1,300
people, brought a profit of $6,000.
She asked everyone to think of
some ideas for future fundraisers.
Overall the 1997 Fair was a great
success. All exhibits were up with
the exception of flowers. The rain
during the parade, dampened spirits
but didn't hinder the midway.
Guest speaker Margaret Jarvis
spoke on Fair Queen memories and
experiences that have remained part
of her life.
The trophies presented were the
Jeanne Ireland Award for most
points in the school work to Jason
Snider from Grey Central by Lee
Ann McDonald, Fair Ambassador
and Murray Cardiff Award for
most points in both school and
junior sections to Jessica Spink by
Jeff Cardiff.
Suggestions brought up in the
president's reports were to have the
Ambassador Competition on the
Tuesday night of the fair and have
local talent downstairs until the
crowning.
The annual meeting has changed
from having a meal to a light lunch
after an evening meeting.
Lee Ann McDonald spoke on her
activities since becoming Fair
Ambassador. Some highlights were
attending the District 8 Annual
Meeting at Howick, meeting other
Queens and Ambassadors, being in
the Santa Claus Parade and meeting
the students at the schools.
No auditor's report was available.
Ralph and Pat Watson were re-
elected as auditors for '98. The
1998 fair dates are Sept. 15 and 16.
The theme will be "Farm to Table".
The Ontario Fair Convention will
be Feb. 17 - 19 at the Royal York,
Toronto. As many people as
possible were urged to attend.
To prevent future problems, ideas
to rope off exhibits and put "Do
Not Touch" signs on the tables
were discussed. Jeff Cardiff was
put in charge of making cages from
chicken wire to house the baking.
Having a showcase made to
display Fall Fair Memorabilia in
the auditorium was discussed.
To keep interest in the fair active,
a suggestion was made to appoint a
representative from each of the
service clubs and organizations in
the area.
A suggestion to auction off the
first prize pies, bread and cakes on
Tuesday night was made as a
fundraiser.
School news
Continued from page 2
The Grade 2 class has been
talking about birthdays. They did
many graphs on when people's
birthdays are. They have been
putting patterns on their pizza, as
well! They have also been talking
about their favourite season.
Grade 3 has been busy making a
shoebox diorama of a winter scene
using pine cones, painted to look
like tree sand cotton for snow. In
math, they have been practising
how to add and regroup numbers
with two digits. Also, they have
been working on their class
newsletter items, and reading and
writing winter stories.
In Grade 4 this week, they are
working on a poem called "Good
Study Habits." They put a picture
on it, or they can frame if they
choose to. Right now, they are
doing book reports. After that they
will be doing speeches. In music,
they are starting a new song called
My Name is Jack.
