COMMITTEE

Through the Spencerville Fair and other events put on throughout the year, your Spencerville Agricultural Society promotes agriculture and rural traditions, while giving back to your community.

Join us for our regular meetings held on the second Monday of every month.

This year, the Spencerville Agricultural Society is celebrating 170 years of bringing our community together and sharing what we love about Spencerville with the surrounding areas. Fall fairs were traditionally where communities came together to celebrate the harvest and showcase the best of their livestock, garden produce, baking and home crafts. While our fair has changed and grown over the years, we are proud to continue these traditions while also adding in some modern attractions and events.

The Spencerville Agricultural Society is made up of a group of passionate volunteers. We come from various backgrounds but are all dedicated to the continued success of our fair and other community driven activities such as our Ladies Night, Fairly Funny Frolic, Father’s Day Car Show, Chinese Dinner and Breakfast with Santa. If you would like to join our group of amazing volunteers, please reach out to volunteer@spencervillefair.ca. We are always looking for volunteers throughout the year, but especially at fair time! High school students, this is a great opportunity to get your community hours. Additionally, we are always looking for new ideas and suggestions to make our events bigger and better. Please reach out and/or attend a meeting, which are advertised on our social media and website.

As a life-long Spencerville Fair attendee and exhibitor, I am very excited to celebrate our 170th with everyone as you come home to your fair!

A Message From Our President

A Message From Our Ambassador

Hello! My name is Danika Carmichael and I am honored to the 44th Spencerville Fair Ambassador. It has become almost like a right of passage in my family as my mother held her reign back in the 90’s and my sisters were ambassadors in more recent years. The Spencerville Fair has always been a part of my life; from being a Baby Show contestant to exhibiting my 4-H project animals, even while in university, to driving derby cars with my brothers. The Spencerville Fair is a place where our community comes together as one to celebrate our accomplishments over the year; Where you connect with old friends and make memories that live on forever. 

As your Spencerville Fair ambassador, I had a very busy Spencerville fair weekend. Our 2024 Fair was a great success with many exhibitors in a variety of events. I saw so many 4-H members displaying their achievements at our fair with pride. Cattle farmers with prized animals strutting around the ring. Horsemen with amazing talents and capabilities with their animals. Our Exhibit Building was filled with baking, home crafts, sewing and quilting. Being able to be a part of it all and celebrate with our community on their achievements has been the highlight of my experience thus far.

This role as your Spencerville Fair Ambassador has brought many external opportunities as well. I have been blessed with the ability to represent Spencerville at neighbouring fairs such as Richmond and Carp. I look forward to partaking in our many upcoming fundraisers such as the Chinese dinner, Ladies Night and more! I am most excited for the annual OAAS Conference in February and the CNE. I am so excited to represent the ‘Biggest Little Fair’ at that level. 

Looking onward, this coming season has so much ahead for our little fair. Planning and preparation never stop. I am excited to see you all at our 170th Spencerville Fair and thank you for coming home to your fair.

Danika Carmichael,
Ambassador 2024 - 2025
