On behalf of the St. Lawrence Valley Agricultural Society I would like to extend an invitation to you and your family to attend the 208th edition of the Williamstown Fair which takes place on August 9, 10 and 11, 2019. Once again later this year the beautiful fairgrounds, located in the historic village of Williamstown, will be the gathering place for both visitors and area residents when local volunteers put on the latest edition of “Canada’s Oldest Annual Fair”. I believe that the key to the Fair’s success year after year is the tireless dedication of hundreds of volunteers who give their time to this family friendly event.
If you are thinking of attending for the first time this year I can assure you that there is something for everyone young and old. Although there is too much to list here in its entirety you will find livestock and equestrian shows, a midway and games, all kinds of food and beverage offerings, a children’s area with a petting zoo, various competitions and contests including tug-of-war, antique cars and tractors, musical entertainment, vendors and agricultural heritage displays. From the moment you arrive on the fairgrounds you will experience the rural agricultural way of life that is Glengarry.
See you at the Fair.
Michael Seguin
President
St. Lawrence Valley Agricultural Society
