Dear Editor:
Once again, Breakfast on the Farm on June 21 was a huge success. There is a lot of hard work, months of planning and working with great people. An event this size takes a lot of volunteers , great people and dedication.
The success of any event is due to some of the following:
– organization – between two like-minded community groups (the Fergus Agricultural Society and the Alma Optimists) that are among many strong supporters in our community and that both enjoy volunteering and are committed to making everything we do a success and the best experience to you our community;
– ag advocates – once again we had the privilege and honour to work with another great family that promotes the importance of agriculture in our lives and community. Harracroft Acres (Ian, Janet, Ryan and Jessica Harrop) opened up their home, business and family for you to come and see, touch and enjoy a good homemade breakfast and experience on a farm; and
– volunteers – without all of the volunteers that worked tirelessly leading up to the breakfast (starting in March) and our 75-plus volunteers (on the breakfast day), this event would not be possible.
Sometimes “thank you” doesn’t seem enough, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone involved.
And finally, to you, our community, for your continued support and attending events such as our breakfast, our ag. education day, our fair and/or any Optimist Club event.
Your eagerness and your enjoyment from anything we do is all we really want and enjoy.
Denise Kankainen,
Fergus Agricultural Society
