Emily Burkholder was the winner
of the Brussels Agricultural
Society's David and Joan Perrie
Award. The award is presented to the
young person with the most points in
the junior section of the Brussels
Fall Fair.
Ally Riegling was the winner of
the Brussels Optimists' All -Around
Participation Award, which is
presented to the young person with
the most points in the junior and
general sections of the fair
combined.
The awards were presented to the
two girls at the society's annual
meeting, which was held Friday
night at the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre.

Dorothy Cummings was installed
as the Brussels Agricultural
Society's new president.
While Jeff Cardiff called for
nominations, no one stepped
forward as a potential First Vice -
President of the organization
Mary Douma volunteered to serve
as the Home Craft President for one
more year, after already serving for
two. Edna McLellan had been the
vice-president and was due to take
over for Douma, but she stepped
down, leaving that process in doubt.
Douma will serve in the position
for the coming term and Monique
Baan accepted a nomination to be
the First Vice -Home Craft President,
meaning that she will take on the
president's position at the end of
Douma's current term.
Brian Schlosser, the organization's
long-time secretary/treasurer, agreed
to stay on in that capacity for the
coming term.
***
The theme for the 2019 Brussels
Fall Fair will be "Back To Our
Roots", as the fair returns to Brussels
after hosting the fair at the
International Plowing Match in
2017.
Other contenders for the 2019
theme were "Grow It, Sow It, Show
It" and "A Family Affair".
***
The organization is on the hunt for
local establishments where
representatives can leave the
Brussels Fall Fair books for
residents to pick up.
The books had always been left at
the Brussels Post Office, although
that arrangement has since come to
an end. The books will be available
at The Citizen office in Brussels and
Secretary/Treasurer Brian Schlosser
said he hopes that additional
businesses will allow the
organization to place its books at
their establishments in the coming
months.
In addition, Schlosser also said
that the society now has to pay
nearly $200 per year for the rental of
a post office box for the organization
because it does not own property in
the village. There hadn't been a
charge before, he said, but now there
will be an annual charge for the box.
For its contribution to the 2018
Ontario Association of Agricultural
Societies (OAAS) annual convention
in Toronto in February, the society
will donate a complimentary
subscription to The Citizen as its
silent auction item.
