President’s Message
Another year has come, and with that, there is another rendition of the Campbellford Fair. In fact, this will be our 170th year since the formation of the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society.
We believe our fair represents the best of what the Agricultural community has to offer, and we welcome the opportunity to share it with you. The fair offers a variety of agricultural education, awareness, and competitions, as well as a demolition derby, live music, a midway, a truck and tractor pull, and, of course, fair food! It is the perfect opportunity to soak in some local culture and history while creating new memories with friends and family.
Many people put in time and effort to ensure the success of the Campbellford Fair. I would like to express my personal gratitude to the Board of Directors for your dedication and support to our organization, ensuring we continue to have a strong representation in our community.
Of course, we would not be able to have a fair or host any of our other events without our countless volunteers who dedicate considerable hours throughout the year. Their assistance ensures everything we do runs smoothly. Thank you to our sponsors for their generous contributions- we couldn’t do it without you. Finally, a big thank you to our exhibitors, because without you, we would not have the great displays and competitions we do.
I look forward to another year, and as always, we will see you at the Fair!

Homecraft President’s Message
On behalf of the Homecraft Division, I would like to welcome you to the 170th Campbellford Fair. Our theme this year is Family Traditions. We hope, if you have not already done so, that this is the year you make our fair your family tradition.
A huge thank you to all the committees, volunteers, and people behind the scenes who diligently put together our fair. I encourage anyone who might be interested in joining or even just helping out to reach out to any fair board member. We are always looking for volunteers with new and exciting ideas on how to improve our fair.
The curling club will once again be filled with exhibits of all kinds: preserves and baking, needlecraft and hobbies, vegetables and flowers, photography and antiques and of course, junior work. This year we have added in some new novice classes for ages 15-19, with the hopes that they will continue to exhibit for years to come. The fair wouldn’t be the same without the food booth serving homemade pie and chili. We will once again have live demonstrations of various crafts, and the homecraft draw will be for a beautiful quilt and doll, a hamper of groceries and a backpack filled with school supplies.
So, bring your family to the fair. Say hello. Make memories, have fun, and make it a Family Tradition.
