‘A great weekend’

Dear Editor:

I had the chance to attend the Fergus Fall Fair last weekend and wanted to commend the board and many volunteers on a very successful 2023 fair.

It looked to me to be a record crowd at Friday evening’s tractor pull and there were lots of smiling faces and lots to do throughout the day on Saturday. And best of all, the rain held off until the end of the day on Sunday. What more could you ask for?!

I understand there were some issues with midway rides and the fair was getting a “bad rap” over it. Too bad because it’s important to note that the fair board organizers contract with a midway company to deliver a positive experience. I guess this year the company wasn’t able to do so, to the satisfaction of some.

All in all, I think the board and volunteers organized a great weekend of community fun and enjoyment. They also delivered fully upon their mandate to promote all things agriculture and rural, within Wellington County and beyond. To those very dedicated volunteers involved, please accept my thanks.

Senator Rob Black,
Fergus
