With over 1000 delegates, service members, ambassadors and special guests in attendance, representing over 165 agricultural societies the pos- itive buzz of Ontario Fairs was evident and alive all weekend. Special thanks to the out of province delegates who registered from Nova Scotia, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The convention was officially opened Thursday evening by the Honorable Jeff Leal, Provincial Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs. Minister Leal highlighted some of the successes and programming offered to the Ontario agricultural societies. The OAAS was also honoured to have Parliamentary Secre- tary, Gerald Keddy M.P., who delivered greetings from the Federal Government on the Friday evening. He expressed the importance and value of the agricultural societies in Ontario and recognized all the members and volunteers for their contributions. A valuable asset of the OAAS Con- vention program is the opportunity for delegates to network and participate in seminars covering a broad range of topics. Some of the more than 25 ses- sions offered this year included ABC's of Board Governance, Working with Midways, Working with your Munici- pality and Making Ag Education a Must. Something new this year was the "Under 40" Hospitality Suite where younger delegates could mix and min- gle. The annual convention is also a time to showcase the "best of the best", with provincial competitions for hand and machine quilts, photography, posters, cookies and breads. Over 90 Fair Ambassadors participated in programs designed to foster self- confidence, team building and leader- ship building. The annual convention also pro- vides an opportunity to recognize the support and assistance of a number of partners including the Canadian National Exhibition (platinum spon- sor) and The Co -Operators, Dominion Regalia and Ancaster Agricultural Society (gold sponsors) . Relocating the tradeshow to the Canadian Room this year resulted in an increased number of exhibitors. The Family Entertainment Showcase and the Mini Ag Awareness Trade Show were located adjacent to the entrance of the tradeshow making it much easier for delegates to access these as well. Due to the overwhelm- ing support from members the con- vention's live and silent auctions were deemed a success, earning over $10,000 to assist with the convention programming and year round operat- ing expenses for the organization. The convention concluded on Satur- day morning with the Annual General Meeting. Keynote Speaker Mark John- son, Program Manager at Tim Horton Onondaga Farms, spoke on "Motivating Youth'. Catherine Redden from Camp- bellford, ON, became the new President of the Ontario Association of the Agri- cultural Societies. Joining Cathy on the executive are: Sylvia Parr (Past Presi- dent), Elaine Rennie (Vice President), Judy McFaul (2nd Vice President) "Celebrating Rural Ontario" is defi- nitely an ideal slogan for the organiza- tion and has been selected as the theme for 2015. It highlights the efforts of the nearly 220 agricultural societies who showcase the best of this impor- tant part of Ontario.
