It is my honour to represent the members of the Georgetown Agricultural Society in welcoming you, fellow citizens, to the 165th annual Georgetown Fair. We're excited to bring some new shows to your Fair, while maintaining the old favourites. Georgetown Fair has contracted a NEW midway, the Magical Midways, a clean, high quality show to thrill the young and old.

Our theme this year is HORSES!! And we're not horsing around when we say it will be excellent, from the educational aspects of all the events, to the thrill of the Jumpers to the marvel of the Miniature Horses and the Might of the Gentle Giants, the Heavy Horse show. Check our web-site or fliers for details. In addition there will be a special display tent housing Black's Percherons, an outstanding exhibit of Work Horses and their gear.

The Main Stage welcomes many acts throughout the Fair, and several acts will be travelling the grounds doing spontaneous shows, as may some of the Globe Theatre players. Thrill Shows Demolition Derby is back Saturday night with all the roar and wreckage you've come to love. The 4 by 4 Truck Pulls will show their power on Sunday.

In a quieter corner of the Fair, the Home Crafts Bldg. holds the beautiful displays of sundry handcrafts, baking, the Fruit and Vegetable entries, and the Children's Section. There you'll find displays, hands-on crafts, Giant sand-box, stage shows, and on Sunday morning the famous Pedal Pull followed by the Fantastic Pet Show! Just outside the Homecraft Building the kids can experience the Petting Zoo.

And Folks, these are just the Highlights!!

Lastly, and certainly not least, we are humbled and grateful for our Sponsors' generous contributions, to the Town of Halton Hills for their longtime support in many ways and to our invaluable volunteers who make this thing run. And let's not forget the exhibitors and competitors who provide so many things to see and the Concessions to keep you refreshed.

Thanks for coming Folks. We know you'll have a good time and we look forward to seeing you again.

John Nurse, President,

Georgetown Agricultural Society
