About the Brooke-Alvinston & Watford Fall Fair

For well over 100 years, the Alvinston Agricultural Society has worked hard to ensure our Society serves its community members by bringing them together, connecting them with enriching experiences and knowledge and ensuring our local community get the exposure and engagement they need to thrive.

BECOME A BOARD MEMBER

A Board Member is someone who would like to get very involved in the fair and other events. They attend monthly meetings to be a part of the decisions of the Ag Society. These individuals would be a part of the planning events for the year. They also provide input on spending money and overall decisions and actions of the agricultural society.

JOIN A COMMITTEE

A Committee Member is someone who would like to get involved in the fair and other events. They attend meetings to be a part of the planning and execution of that section of the fair or event. These individuals can be on as many or as few committees as they choose. It is a great way to get involved without the full commitment of becoming a Board Member

BECOME A VOLUNTEER

A Volunteer is someone who would like to get involved with the events throughout the year, but they do not wish to participate in the planning or the meetings. These volunteers would help during the week of the annual Fall Fair and during the events such as Tractor Pull and Rodeo, whenever they are available.
