Greetings from the 2010 Ambassador

On behalf of the MIlverton Agricultural Society I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the 148th Milverton Fair with this year’s theme being “Be a Locavore”. The hours of hard work and dedication placed into this annual event from all the volunteers creates events of interest to all and should not be missed. Although I may not live in Milverton it has been like a second home for me for many years. Attending the fair was a highlight of the year, going to the cattle and horse shows, watching the Ambassador competitions and dreaming of one day competing. Knowing many past ambassadors being crowned Milverton Fair Ambassador for 2010 was a dream come true and a great honour. Highlights from the fair this year would be the Tractor pulls, baby show, and of course the MIlverton Agricultural Society fries! The fair is a local attraction for the exhibits, livestock shows, watch quality entertainment and also a great gathering place to socialize and celebrate another year in our great community. Although my reign is still in the early stages I am looking forward to the upcoming year and representing Milverton to the best of my ability. Throughout the year I will represent this amazing community in the District 8 competition, Miss Midwest competition and the Canadian National Exhibition. I am looking forward to the three day OAAS convention to be held in February at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. This convention will provide informative seminars, entertainment, and a chance to meet the ambassadors from all over Ontario; as well to get to know our Milverton Agricultural Society executive better and gain an understanding of the preparation and organization of a successful fair in the coming year. I would like to thank the Milverton Agricultural Society for this wonderful experience and for all the support they have given me. I would strongly encourage others to compete for the 2011 ambassador; I assure you will have a rewarding and wonderful experience. So bring your families and friends to the 148th Milverton Fair and Be a Locavore.

Sincerely,
Janine Smith
2010 Milverton Fair Ambassador

On behalf of the Canadian National Exhibition, I would like to extend best wishes to each and every competitor and to all of the people who have supported and volunteered to keep this wonderful tradition of the Milverton Fair going for 148 years.
The Ambassador competition is an important element of our fair, and I encourage local youth, ages 17-23 years old to step forward and participate in this wonderful opportunity. Becoming an ambassador is an important role, as representatives of your community and local Agricultural society you are helping to promote the importance of Ontario fairs by sharing your knowledge and ideas while at the same time building new relationships.

I enjoyed a fun filled 18 days at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, staying at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel. I was put up in a really nice suite, overlooking Lake Ontario and Center Island, wow what a difference from my bedroom window at home where I look out onto farmers fields and pastures filled with horses. My first day began with the phone ringing off the hook from newspaper, radio and television reporters. I made my way to the Exhibition for a 5-hour photo shoot, with a professional photographer. Over the following two weeks, I enjoyed attending various events where I gave best wishes and promoted the importance of Ontario fairs by sharing my experience as an Ambassador. I had an action packed two and a half weeks at the Ex, where I was super busy each day. I attended so many events, to name a few: cooking shows, Rising Star talent search, the daily Mardi Gras parade, The Michael Jackson tribute band, Down with Webster concert, the miniature horse show, The SuperDog show, baseball games, the Canada soccer game, Fernandez the Comedy Hypnotist, and the Air Show. I enjoyed spending lots of time at Kids World and the Farm talking to children and adults about fairs and agriculture. I would like to thank the Milverton Agricultural Society for making this experience possible. I can guarantee that the experience of being an ambassador will be one of the best you ever have. Best wishes to this year’s ambassador, and if anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me, I’d love to help!

Congratulations and good luck to each competitor!
Sincerely,
Miss. Erika Riddell
2010/2011 CNE Ambassador of the Fairs

Greetings from the 2010 Little Miss Milverton

I am very proud to have won the title of Little Miss Milverton. The 2010 Milverton Fair was really fun – there were so many great activities. I missed being in the Fair parade (because I was competing at the Horse Show!) But, I did get to ride in the Santa Claus parade and that was really fun – there were lots of people out even though it was cold! I am looking forward to attending more things in 2011 – especially Earth Day – as the environment is a very important topic. In July, I will be going to Walkerton to compete again – so wish me luck, I will do my best to represent Milverton. Have fun making things to enter in the 2011 Fair and maybe even think about running for Royalty - it is a great experience!
