Message from the President
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my privilege to present the Port Perry Agricultural Society’s annual report for the year ended November 30, 2019.
The Port Perry Agricultural Society is looking forward to this year’s fair. The fair will offer the 2nd annual Lumberjack Show where the crowd will get involved in watching two teams race against each other completing different lumberjack related events. This show was a great success last year and we know many people are looking forward to watching it again this year. Last year the new outdoor, mobile stage for the country concert was a very big success and we are looking forward to using it again this year. It allows for a larger area for the concert that is licensed for alcohol. There will also be the annual Tough Udder competition that people can sign up for to compete with a team through an obstacle course.
Port Perry Agricultural Society’s fairgrounds hosted the Durham West 4-H Club judging contest, the Durham Farm and Rural Family Resources’ Progressive Agriculture Safety Day, Durham 4X4 Club Show and Shine and charitable events including the Durham Walk for ALS, Hike for Hospice and the Terry Fox Run. Each organization thanked the Society for our support when they reported on the success of their events.
The racetrack was used by two elementary schools for their track and field events, and by the Scugog Chamber of Commerce and Port Perry Lions Club for marshaling the Santa Claus Parade.
The Fairgrounds continue to be home to the Port Perry Care and Share Community Permaculture Garden.
To our many volunteers and sponsors, we would like to thank everyone who continues to support our annual agricultural fair and look forward to a successful 2019.
Sincerely,
Landon Beacock, President
Port Perry Agricultural Society
