The Chestermere Agricultural Society is presently organizing its 20th Annual Country Fair for Friday, September 18th, Sneak a Peak from 6 – 10 pm and Saturday September 19th from 10 – 5 pm. This fair is intended to provide a connection between the historic rural community and the fast growing urban development.

The Red Ribbon Contest is a cornerstone of this event. We would like to invite area families, organizations, groups, services and businesses to be part of Chestermere’s largest annual special event. This is an opportunity to get your name out there and meet the community.

You can enter a float in the parade on Sat morning - a time commitment between 8 and 11 am. Floats could be decorated shopping carts, riding lawn mowers, ATV’s, flat beds etc. Clowns, horses and music are always a hit! Use your imagination and be sure to throw candy for the kids and give out some promo material to the adults. Anyone seen Strathmore’s parade? Lots of ideas there! • If you are a business owner encourage your staff to volunteer to supervise activities in our KidZone and to assist with parking. Be sure to have your staff/participants wear their uniforms or name tags to promote yourselves and bring along any promo material you would like to give out.

You could Sponsor an activity such as the Mini Golf Course, the Climbing Wall or the Petting Zoo and post your signage as sponsors. We would love it if your staff would man the activity and give out your promo material!

You could donate  prizes or gift certificates that can be raffled off for our many volunteers.

Your business could donate food, coffee, juice, water or snacks for our volunteers.

Cash donations or cheques made out to the Chestermere Agricultural Society are always welcome.
