2011 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

This is my first year as President, however I have been a director for many years. It is truly an honour to hold this position, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to our Past President, Howard Sanderson for his many years of hard work on our behalf and we are happy he is still here participating. I also extend my thanks to the community, the many volunteers, businesses, service organizations, exhibitors, entertainers, concessionaires, and the Select & Canuck Shows. Without all of you giving of your time to attend and participate, the fair would not continue to be a success.This year is our 104th annual Dryden Fair and also our 12^th anniversary on our new grounds Each year, we strive to meet our objectives by hosting an agricultural fair, where we attempt to develop and promote educational programs and competitions for the purpose of creating awareness of local agriculture. Dedicated volunteers make our fair successful, from the many exhibitors, competition participants, to the displays and those helping to sell our raffle tickets. We depend on dedicated volunteers to make our organization successful, and with the operation of the kitchen, and the many activities year around. We hope that you will be inspired to join our group of volunteers and help us to continue to operate.

Once again I would like to extend the Board of Directors thanks to the many men, women, youth, and children who keep volunteering year after year and the public for attending our functions. We could not operate without you.

We are one of the few organizations in the area that has continued for over 100 years, the Board & Executive are proud, and the Dryden & area people should be proud of us. Come & enjoy the fair, invite a friend.

Jim Schneider, President
