President's Message
The Coldwater Agricultural Society is gearing up for another great fair!! It will be held September 22, 23, 24, 2023. Thank you to everyone that came out to our Annual General Meeting which was held January 24, 2023. Thank you to the countless volunteers who help to run the fair and the countless hours that are put in helping the fair to run seamlessly. Huge thank you to Matt Murray our past president; he is stepping away from the executive for a bit but will be still participating in the fair. Matt put in so many hours to ensure everything ran smoothly that I am a bit intimidated stepping into his shoes. My team behind me are awesome so the fair will surely not miss a beat. We are continuing to bring back all the favourite activities everyone enjoys.We are praying for lots of sunshine for that weekend. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
