UPCOMING SALES
The theme for the 2020 Brussels
Fall Fair will be “Twist and Sprout”
thanks to a vote taken at the Brussels
Agricultural Society’s annual
meeting on Friday night.
The theme was one of five
considered for the 2020 fair that
night. The second-place theme,
“Bank Barns and Spinning Yarns”,
however, was documented by
Secretary Brian Schlosser. President
Dorothy Cummings asked him to
make note of the theme, because it’s
a good one and it should be strongly
considered as the theme for the 2021
fair.
Other themes in contention were:
Barn Beams and Ice Cream, Very
Berry Extraordinary and Pigs and
Big Rigs.
The theme for this year’s Brussels
Fall Fair, decided at last year’s
annual meeting, is “Back to Our
Roots”.
***
Ally Riegling was the winner of
the David and Joan Perrie Award for
the most points in the Junior section
of the 2018 Brussels Fall Fair. The
award was presented at the annual
meeting on Friday night by the
Perries.
Kaleigh McCallum, the Brussels
Fall Fair Little Ambassador, was the
winner of the Brussels Optimists
All-Around Participation Award for
the most points in both the Junior
and General sections of the 2018
Brussels Fall Fair combined.
The Optimists Award was
presented by Cathy Cardiff, Yvonne
Knight, Jean Davidson, Joan Perrie
and Linda Garland.
***
Monique Baan began her time as
the Brussels Agricultural Society’s
home craft president at the annual
meeting. She will hold the office for
the next two years.
Pam McLellan accepted the
nomination for the position of first
vice-home craft president.
Brian Schlosser will again serve
as the organization’s
secretary/treasurer and the society’s
books will again be audited by
Ralph Watson and Peter Allison.
***
After a successful, sold-out dinner
to kick off last year’s Brussels Fall
Fair, members of the Brussels
Agricultural Society decided to
again hold a meal on the Tuesday
night of the fair this year.
Shining participation
Kaleigh McCallum was the winner of the Brussels Optimists All-Around Participation Award at
the 2018 Brussels Fall Fair thanks to her work in earning the most points in the Junior and
General sections of the fair. McCallum, who is also the Brussels Fall Fair Little Ambassador,
wasn’t the only youth honoured on Friday night as the Brussels Agricultural Society held its
annual meeting at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre, as Ally Riegling was the
winner of the David and Joan Perrie Award for earning the most points in the Junior section
of last year’s fair. From left: Yvonne Knight, Cathy Cardiff, McCallum, Joan Perrie, Jean
