2024 President’s message
I am pleased to lead the team of directors and volunteers of the Russell Agricultural Society for 2024. The highlight of the Agricultural Society year is the Russell Fair August 15 to 18! But you will see our volunteers planning and executing many other events … Ladies Night May 3; Chicken Barbecue June 15; Canada Day festivities in collaboration with the Lions Club and the monthly Market!
The Russell Agricultural Society grounds are open year round in the heart of Russell for the enjoyment of the community. We ask that you respect these grounds and the buildings on them so we can continue to offer access to them!
There are many committees required to do the things we do! If you are looking to offer some time to the community, please consider the Russell Agricultural Society.
There is a “Volunteer” link on our webpage for your convenience. It is a rewarding experience to help put on these events and see the enjoyment the public gains from participating! Perhaps you have some skills in gardening, baking or crafts – check out the Prize List to see how you can enter the fair and enjoy some friendly competition!
The Russell Agricultural Society gratefully acknowledges the support of all our sponsors, our volunteers and our patrons! We look forward to your continued participation in 2024!
Liz O’Gorman-Smit
President
