IAS Presidents Message
Kevin Robson – 2023 President IAS
Another year has come and with that, another rendition of the Ilderton Fair will be coming this fall. In fact, this will be our 171st year since the formation of the Ilderton Agricultural Society. Many of the Ilderton Fair traditions continue on like livestock and crop competitions, hand work and quilts on display. Along with long standing traditions, the fair has changed and grown since 1852, additions of a Midway, Food Trucks, Tractor Pull, Dog and Pet Shows, Talent shows, Special Attractions and more!
This change is part of our community, as Middlesex and Ilderton grow and change, we help connect a rural and urban community. We have volunteers that have been coming for well over 70 years, and some that may have moved to the community just days before. I have been lucky enough to attend for the last 30ish years and look forward to it each time! The fair has been a ‘Homecoming’ of sorts for many who have moved away, a chance to visit with new and old friends and maybe make some new ones too.
These new and old connections work to build a community in Ilderton and area, but none of that would be possible without the hundreds of volunteers and thousands of hours year round to make the Society and Fair as great as it is.
Thanks to all the volunteers, exhibitors, fair goers and community partners. I look forward to another year and as always, we will see you at the FAIR!
