OUTGOING MESSAGE
Message from the Tillsonburg Tri-County Fair's 2013-14 Ambassador, Alison Csercsics, in the 2014 fair booklet:
"Being an ambassador is a wonderful opportunity to represent our fair and community, learn more about the agriculture area and meet tons of amazing people. Being this year's ambassador, I was able to attend our fair and surrounding community's fairs and festivals, be part of several parades, and attend the OAAS convention in Toronto. Being part of all these different events was such a rewarding experience. Going to fairs and festivals in the area showed me how each town comes together to celebrate. The convention opened my eyes to many new issues and allowed me to network and meet lots of new people with similar interests and goals. Overall, being an ambassador was an amazing and gratifying experience and was one of the best years of my life.
"I would like to thank all those who helped make my year as ambassador a very memorable one. Thank you to all the Fair Board members for allowing me to have this rewarding experience, my family who supported me through this year, and the members of the community who made this year very special."
