Congratulations to the Society on 155 years! Come out and join the fun at the "Biggest Little Fair in Ontario" Danielle DeBlock 2008/2009 Mitchell Fair Ambassador Ambassador's Message AMBASSADOR of the Fair Competition th Friday September 4 2009 The Mitchell Fair Ambassador Program is a 8:00 pm in the Arena great event to participate in, for many reasons. Not only is it a ton of fun, it is also educational and contributory to one's public speaking and interview skills. Being with the other contestants gives lots of opportunity for socializing, and helps to lighten the mood and ease nervous feelings about the competition. The more serious part of the competition is the interview session. It is normal to feel nervous going in, but as long as you take a few deep breaths and relax, the short process will be easy as pie! Writing and delivering a speech is probably the most time consuming and rewarding part of the contest. The more energy you put into preparing and practicing your speech, the more comfortable you will feel when onstage. Make your speech your own, practice, and it will be terrific! 3 MITCHELL & DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL Bannerman, Gladys Connolly Dave Linton, SOCIETY Officers and Directors James McLagan, John McLagan, Linda - 2009 Siemon, Jeff Vanderhyden, Kim President: Ken Connolly Vanderhyden, Steve Vanhevel, Lori-anne Past President: Marg French Vanhevel, Harold Workman, Danny Buuck, st 1 Vice President: Byron Morris Carole Gethke. nd 2 Vice President: Winnie Linton Mitchell Ward: John Aasman, Valerie Secretary /Treasurer: Sarah Bell Chessell, Carl Diegel, Liz Diegel, Donna Eisler, Micaela Fitzsimmons, Ruth Laing, HOMECRAFT EXECUTIVE Randy Rolph, Murray Rose, Karen For 2009 Templeman, Chris Knott, Tracy Pfeifer- President: Susan Aasman Gloor, Deb Bice.
