Exhibits abound and there are lots of different ways to get involved. Competition categories run the gamut from home grown vegetables and flowers to homemade preserves and baked good, from 4H animal judging to the Pet Show and from amateur photography to one-of-a-kind quilting designs. With so many different classes, there’s an opportunity for just about everyone to win prize money and bragging rights. For details, download your copy of the 2022 Fair Book here.

Do you have some time on your hands? Is there a high schooler in your household who needs to accumulate some volunteer hours? Would you like to contribute to a well-loved community group? Help build community by volunteering with the Markdale Agricultural Society. There are opportunities for all ages, interests and skill sets all year round.
