As with our predecessors, it is our mandate to educate and entertain. Please visit our Agricultural Education tent to see the farm animals and field crops. Get a good look at the animals at The Dairy and Heavy Horse Shows and the ever popular Petting Zoo. In keeping with our Ladybug theme, we have a Ladybug Village and display. The Main Stage will showcase a variety of talents and the FMX Freestyle Motocross Riders and Demolition Derby will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. For our younger set, we have The Children's Centre and a Giant Sandbox. A listing of activities is available at the gates. Thank you to our sponsors for their financial and in kind contributions, the many dedicated volunteers who give of their time for the benefit of everyone and to the exhibitors and competitors who provide us with something to see and do. Lastly, thank you to you who support the event by bringing your family and friends. Enjoy Your Day! John Nurse, President, Georgetown Agricultural Society
