2 President s Message To Everyone Welcome to the 2015 Kincardine Fair! The fair last year began with a return of the ambassador competition and the excitement of Friday night carried on throughout Saturday. This years fair will appeal to everyone that attends. The weekend activities start Friday evening with the main pavilion open for viewing of the hall exhibits and the ambassador competition. Who will take over from Queen Sadie? Saturday brings a day full of activities in every area of the grounds. The parade, horse, livestock, poultry, homecraft, kids sections and entertainment will keep everyone busy visiting with old and new acquaintances and friends. Our theme of Blue Jeans and Country Dreams will have people dancing to the music of Steve Deer and friends at the Saturday evening dance. The fair expands into Sunday with a miniature horse show and a demonstration of remote controlled vehicles. Every fair could not be a success without all the hard work and support of its exhibitors, directors, volunteers and sponsors. A Big Thank You to all. Please come, join us and enjoy the fair. I look forward to seeing you there September 4, 5, and 6. Sincerely, C.

5 Sadie Shewfelt 2014/2015 Kincardine Fall Fair Ambassador What an absolute honour and dream come true it has been to represent the Kincardine Agricultural Society as the 2014/2015 Fall Fair Ambassador. Last year's fall fair was history in the making. It was 19 years since the ambassador program had taken place and it was 19 years since I was born. I cannot tell you what my favourite part of this year was as every event I went to was amazing. The parades were amazing as the small towns each came together to support their fall fairs. The convention in Toronto brought 92 ambassadors together from across Ontario and that experience was one like no other. I have made lots of new friends along the way, learned lots of new things about running fall fairs and even been involved in bringing back the Kincardine Fall Fair Dance. This year is another big year of change for the Kincardine Fall Fair as we welcome back the Saturday Night Fall Fair dance. This year's dance will be from 7 1 and it will feature the Steve Deer band from 7-10 and then Ryan Berry will DJ the rest of the night away. The last Fall Fair dance happened over 25 years ago and from what I heard, people came from near and far in order to attend. Now the dance will no longer have to be remembered through the stories we hear because we will be living those stories. I want to thank you all, the entire town, for being such an amazing community. I would like to give a huge thank you to the Kincardine Agricultural Society for bringing back the Ambassador program. So thank you and enjoy the 2015 Kincardine Fall Fair, Blue Jeans and Country Dreams. 3
