The Tiverton Agricultural Society is hosting a barbecue this Sunday,
July 25, from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased from any
director: $15 for adults, $7 for students, free for children under age
five. For information or tickets, contact Audel at
519-368-7325. A special thank you to the volunteers who make this
event possible, and to all who come out to support the agricultural
society.
As
our fall fair draws closer, now is the time to think about a yard
display which will be judged and prizes awarded. This display should
include our theme "Fall Leaves and Corn Sheaves.” The sign should have
the name and date of our fair, Oct. 1-2.
Come on kids,
now is the time to be working on your youth poster. The theme for this
category is "Promoting Your Fair.” The posters are to be hand-drawn by
a school student. The rules are available at the Tiverton Library.
There are two classes: A) youth up to Grade 6, B) youth Grades 7-12.
Prizes are $10, $7, $5 and $3. Bring your posters to the library by
Sept. 8 and watch for them in our local store windows at fair
time.
The "Windy Gardens" quilt tickets are selling
well. The design is intriguing and popular. To purchase or help sell
tickets, contact Dianne Todd at 519-368-7114.
Our Ambassador Committee is searching for contestants 17-23 years of age. Contact Laurie at 519-368-7980.
