In this episode of our podcast, I sit down with Marlene Limpright, the president of the Coldwater and District Agricultural Society, to explore the vibrant world of the Coldwater Fall Fair. Marlene shares her journey from growing up on a farm to leading one of our community's most cherished agricultural events.
We delve into the fair's focus on preserving agricultural heritage, featuring traditional exhibits, educational activities, and exciting competitions. Learn about the various roles within the Agricultural Society, the importance of community volunteers, and the newly reintroduced ambassador program.
As we discuss the upcoming fair happening September 27 to 29, Marlene highlights special activities planned for Family Day and how the fair aims to connect families and educate children about farming traditions.
