Become a vendor!
Without a midway or beer garden, we find that the guests at the fair take the time to view the vendor booths and take advantage of the leisurely pace to talk to exhibitors. It is an unhurried time where people of all ages find something of interest. Perhaps this year, what will interest them the most, is your display!
Sign up to be a vendor this year by downloading our sign-up form in FTP format.

Hymers Agricultural Society is pleased to offer qualifying High School students a $250.00 scholarship. This scholarship is offered to a graduating High School Student that is proceeding to university or college in an agriculture related programme. A commentary indicating your contribution to a community, future goals, agricultural experience or a summery of a specific project is to accompany your application. Make sure you apply for 2009!

~~How can I get involved?~~

Volunteers are always appreciated and help is always required for all aspects of the Fair. Hymers Fair can provide High School students with community service hours which are required for graduation. Volunteers are not only needed during the Fair weekend, but throughout the summer to ensure the grounds are ready for the fair. For more information, contact Debbie Hoover or e-mail volunteers@hymersfair.com.

Board members needed - For the Fair to continue successfully, a strong Board of active Directors is necessary. We need people who are willing to become involved all year round, not just on the fair weekend. If you are willing to commit time and energy to the decision making and operation of the fair on a year long basis, please consider putting your name forward by calling any Board Member well in advance of the annual meeting which will be held January 17, 2009. Each year the Board requires 18 Directors and up to 6 Junior Directors, aged 18-26, so if you're interested, call us anytime or e-mail info@hymersfair.com.
For names of the board members see About the Fair.

Memberships cost $5.00 per person, per year. The membership gives you free admission both days and entitles you to exhibit your crafts, canning, baking, fruits, vegetables or photos in the exhibit hall. If interested please mail a cheque for $5.00 to the address at the bottom of this page.
