Dear Advertiser / Sponsor
The Shannonville Agricultural Society is a small group of volunteers that has been presenting the Shannonville Worlds Fair since 1856. Like many organizations we lost a lot of traction during the COVID-19 lockdowns, but we did manage to host a successful fair in 2022. It was a financial loss but our come-back saw a positive response with new members, numerous volunteers and community partnerships with the Tyendinaga Township.
We are a proud group, keen to continue this agricultural tradition in Tyendindaga Township. We hope to attract the next generation of farm and rural people to an entertaining and educational event. We are also proud of our efforts to keep entrance fees low and provide free entertainment and educational activities. We have no carnival rides, but we do provide a soccer field full of children’s yard games, face-painting, pony rides, a milking cow, old fashion children’s & adult games, 4-H Club animal shows and a train ride through the fair grounds, all for free. Of course, all of these events come at an ever-increasing cost, so we rely heavily on business and community sponsors to help make this happen.
In the past, you may have purchased an ad in our traditional Fair Book. We are replacing the Fair Book with a simple tri-fold Fair Flyer providing all the needed details for this year’s fair. We have left one panel available for a single sponsor. So instead of the Fair Book, we are now promoting “event sponsors”.
Your past generosity has been greatly appreciated and we do hope you will be able to help us again.
The next page describes your opportunity and options to support the Shannonville World’s Fair in 2023. If you prefer to not be an “event sponsor” that fine too, as you can be a General Sponsor for any amount you choose, and your sponsorship will be listed at the entrance to the Exhibit Hall and on our website.
Select and download the Sponsorship Form below and you can complete and mail to our office with your sponsorship contribution.
Thank you for your consideration.
