Dear Friends, 

County Fairs are ingrained in the fibers of this country and the 

153rd Annual Comber Fair is going to continue a tradition of 

excellence. Where else could you go to get the great entertainment 

and competition of a county fair while installing the community with 

family values and good memories? 

The residents of the Comber/lakeshore community can have the 

confidence in the fact that the goals of the Board of Directors have 

changed very little in the last 153 years in regards to providing a 

safe place where childhood memories can be remembered and new 

memories with your family and friends can be realized and revitalized. 

Make sure YOU take time to visit every part of the fair. View the home 

crafts of canning, needle work, and other displays. Walk through the 

animal barns. Enjoy Carter Shows Midway and don’t forget to relax 

at our beer tent. Enjoy the various vendors and all famous Fair Food 

at the food courts. 

As president I am proud that this fair has been produced annually for 

now a 153 years by a good group of volunteers and businesses. 

The Board of Directors operate the grounds year round and with the 

exception of Fair week lease the grounds to lakeshore Municipality 

to be utilized as a public recreational park serving East lakeshore 

residents. 

A special thanks must go the the men and women who are on the 

various committees and their volunteers whose efforts keep the fair 

going year after year.

2012 Comber Fair agriCultural Fair Honours 

Jim and Betty Wright 

This year, the Comber Agricultural Society would like to 

recognize the many contributions made to our community by 

Jim and Betty Wright. This husband and wife team has worked 

tirelessly for our fair for over 20 years. In fact, Jim who is 

a Comber native, has worked at the fair all his life, helping 

to manage the horse pull with his dad, Orville. Jim was born 

in 1939 to Orville and Beatrice Wright and was raised on the 

family farm along with his three sisters. Betty, born in 1956, 

is the fourth of five children raised near Cottam. Her parents, 

Earl and Grace Boose were dairy farmers and both Jim and 

Betty have remained true to their rural routes. 

They married in 1979 and moved to Comber where Jim 

farmed with his family. Their oldest son, James (Jamie) is 

pursuing a career in law enforcement. Kenneth, their second 

son works in the Tool and Die industry and farms with his 

wife Sarah. Kenneth and Sarah have expanded this family to 

include their daughter, Lillian. 

For as long as anyone can remember, Jim has worked at the Fairgrounds from setting up to cleaning 

up. For her part, Betty has worked in the canning and baking department for 17 years. She joked with 

us about the year the lady judge got sick on a lemon meringue pie and all food judging had to stop for the 

night. We can laugh now, but it was pretty serious at the time! 

Up until thirteen years ago, the antique tractors always held a captivating spot in the parade. Jim 

decided to expand on this event and started the exhibit along with trophies that we still enjoy today. Before 

the Fair board could afford security guards, he would sleep at the grounds over night to protect the tractors 

himself. This event has grown to include 45 tractors and is always well attended. 

This farming team has not slowed down in “retirement” years. They have always had other interest 

– Jim has been a member of the Ploughmen Association for Essex County and Betty is a strong leader in 

their church, St. Andrew’s United in Comber. Betty also enjoys reading and tending her flower beds. Jim 

still loves farming and has turned his livelihood into his favorite hobby. 

Jim and Betty, the Comber Agricultural Society thanks you for your many, many years of hard 

work. You have established a strong work ethic and solid foundation that has allowed our Fair to flourish 

and continue to be a success.
