2025 Competition Info

There is nothing quite like the spirit of competition to energize a community. During the Glencoe Fair, you will have countless opportunities to either participate in or simply enjoy watching a number of competitions that will allow people from across our region to showcase their stuff. Whether you want to show off your little ones in our baby photo contest or you are eager to celebrate the beauty of your blooms during our plants and cut flowers competition, the Glencoe Fair is a place where your neighbours can cheer for everything you are most proud of.

True to the nature of this community and agricultural event, the Glencoe Fair puts our region’s bounty and livestock on their well-deserved pedestals. A huge draw of the fair is the annual livestock competition where our farmers introduce their friends, family and neighbours to the very best in show. Beyond the animals, crops and homegrown goods, craftspeople and artisans from across Ontario come to the Glencoe Fair to deliver on delicious dishes and beautiful works of creativity and art.

2025 SENIOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP & FAIR AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

The 2025 Glencoe Fair Ambassador program is dedicated to past committee chair and Ambassador Shannon (Thornicroft) Havens.

Committee: Taylor Chalupka, Megan McGrail, Morgan MacTavish, Taylor Van Bilsen, Jacqui Walker and Jacob Weber

This workshop day is targeted for students in Grades 9-12, looking to improve their leadership skills, public speaking capabilities, and get involved within the community. Join us at the Ag Hall on September 6th from 12:00pm – 5:00pm for the workshop, and qualified individuals interested in running as the Glencoe Fair Ambassador are invited to stay from 4:00pm – 5:00pm to utilize the skills they learned throughout the day in front of our judges in the form of a brief interview, and 2 impromptu questions. The Glencoe Fair Ambassador will be chosen on the 14th, and officially announced during the Fair on Friday. Pre-registration details will be posted on our social media, and will close on September 11th.

The Glencoe Fair Ambassador Program provides an opportunity for young adults between the ages of 18-24 to get involved in their community while also gaining valuable skills! Our goal is for participants to come out of this experience feeling more confident in public speaking, networking, introducing themselves, interviewing, and conducting themselves professionally. The ambassador will spend their year attending events within the Glencoe community such as the fair, and within the greater community of agricultural societies at the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies Convention and at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) Ambassador of the Fairs Competition. Attending these events allows the ambassador the time and space to improve upon a variety of professional and personal skills in several environments, as well as the incredible experience of meeting fellow fair ambassadors and agricultural society members from across Ontario. Although only one participant in the Ambassador Program gets the opportunity to fully represent Glencoe for the year, we think that all who participate benefit from the experience of meeting new people and working on their professional development! We also encourage all who take part to continue to stay involved with the Glencoe Fair Ambassador Committee and Glencoe Agricultural Society in the future.
