Parham Fair in jeopardy without additional volunteers

Martina Waddingham | Jan 07, 2010

Would you like to make a difference in your community? Do you have some free time to devote to an interesting and fun volunteer project? Do you enjoy seeing people having fun? If you answered yes, then the Agricultural Society would love to hear from you. The Parham Agricultural Society hosts Central Frontenac’s largest and longest-running festival.

The Parham Fair has seen an increase in the size of events, exhibits and vendors over the past several years. This growth has, in turn, increased the need for the organization’s volunteers to help with the planning and running of this annual event. Some members of the board have been involved for many years, and will continue to support the event, but in a less active position or perhaps on a specific committee. Our primary annual event – The Parham Fair – needs your skills to continue making it a successful community event. We currently have four vacancies to be filled: President, Treasurer, Palace Chairperson and Fair Book Chairperson.

We are also looking for volunteers on our numerous committees. We meet every third Tuesday of the month to discuss business as it relates to the Fair and the Agricultural Society. If you have an interest in any of these positions or would just like to devote some time to the fair please contact us, if possible, prior to our Annual General Meeting being held January 17. Send a brief note outlining your interest along with contact information to: Secretary, Parham Agricultural Society, P.O. Box 38, Parham, ON, K0H 2K0 or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We look forward to hearing from you!
