Hello Ladies & Gentleman: It is with great excitement that I 

welcome everyone to the 160th Teeswater Culross Rural Fair. 

Planning for this big event started the day we packed the last box 

away from last years fair. 

Our volunteers have worked very hard to make this a special 

occasion and we hope that you take part in all the festivities that we 

have to offer. If you have suggestions to make this a better fair, 

please let us know, we want to hear from you. 

If you see our volunteers around the town or the fairgrounds, please 

let them know how much the Teeswater Fair means to you. This is 

why we do, what we do, for your enjoyment. 

We’re here to make memories, bring people together, celebrate 

agriculture and to give back to our wonderful community. 

Thanks for visiting and pertaking in our fair and we look forward to 

seeing everyone at our next event.

MESSAGE FROM SENIOR AMBASSADOR 

This year has been an amazing experience. I 

have met so many people and have made lots of 

friends along the way of this journey. August 9th 

of 2014 I was crowned the 2014-2015 Senior 

Ambassador and within this year I have had the 

chance to attend and help out at the 4-H awards 

night, the Spook Haus, the Santa Claus parade, 

the district #10 meetings, monthly meetings and 

the OAAS convention at the Royal York in 

Toronto. I am very excited to compete in the Miss Midwest 

pageant and the CNE. But my first and favourite event was the 

Teeswater Fair (behind the farm gate) - all of these events have given 

me a chance to meet new people, make new friends, promote our fair 

and what agriculture is all about and to speak and improve my speaking 

skills. Overall I have made one very special friend, and that would 

be my Junior ambassador, Hailey Miller. She has helped me grow as a 

person throughout this past year. Having someone like Hailey by your 

side is an amazing experience just alone. We have made some crazy 

memories together that I will never forget. 

Being an ambassador is a great experience and opens alot of doors. 

You get to have many opportunities that you’ve never had before. I 

will miss all of this—the way the crown leaves an indent in your head 

and you can feel it for hours after you have taken it off, OR when your 

walking and the sash falls off and you just about trip and fall on your 

face in front of everyone. 

The new ambassador will have memories too and I want to wish him 

or her good luck and I am beyond excited to help them any way 

possible. 

I would like to thank all of the volunteers who make the Teeswater 

Fair weekend the best weekend anyone could possibly experience. 

I would also like to thank the Teeswater Agr. Society for making this 

year possible and a year that I will never forget. 

Senior Ambassador—Sarah Rawn 

Note: Our Ambassador competition for 2015 will be held Saturday, 

August 21 (Friday night of the fair). Come out and enjoy the evening 

and support the young people of our community. Say “hello” to past 

ambassadors which will be in attendance. 

See page 20 for more details.

JUNIOR AMBASSADOR’S MESSAGE 

My name is Hailey Miller and I have the privilege of 

being the 2014-2015 Junior Ambassador for the 

Teeswater Fair. What an exciting year I have had. 

The 2014 fair was excellent, with sunny weather and 

great events to attend over 3 days. We participated 

in the Spook Haus, we attended the District 10 

meeting in Chesley, 4-H awards night and were part 

of the Santa Claus parade in town. I also attended 

the monthly Fair meetings and this gave me a big 

understanding of what goes on behind the scenes all 

year to put on such an amazing 3 day rural fair. 

Becoming the Junior Ambassador was an excellent opportunity for me. I 

gained interview skills and confidence in public speaking and I met many 

new people. I have many great memories which I will cherish. 

I would like to thank my sponsor—TLC Solutions for providing me with 

the opportunity to be a part of the ambassador competition. Thank you to 

Sarah Rawn—the 2014-2015 Senior Ambassador. We had a great year 

together with lots of laughs. Thank you to my parents for making sure I 

got to all of the events I attended. Thank you to Lorraine Riley for 

guiding me through the ambassador duties and Brendan Zettler and the 

executive of the Teeswater Agricultural Society for welcoming me and 

for all of their had work and dedication. 

I would like to encourage everyone to come out to the 160th Teeswater 

Fair. It promises to be an amazing weekend full of activites and fun for 

all ages. 

This has been an amazing opportunity for me and a year to remember 

Jr. Ambassador—Hailey Miller
