Message From the Fair Ambassador

Becoming the Spencerville Fair Ambassador is a deeply rewarding opportunity. An
ambassador is not just a name but something that one takes pride in. It has been
something that I have looked forward to since I watched other community
members represent the fair in such a positive respectable manner.

Since I was crowned, it has been an intriguing, and impressive adventure. I
started my journey riding through the village of Spencerville smiling and waving at
the same time to everyone that came to support the fair. Then I went on to judge
some of the cutest babies that Spencerville has, to listening to some of our best
talent, meeting people I've never met before, and riding alongside the winner of
the heavy horse- six horse hitch. It also gave me the chance to see the
agricultural aspects that the fair has to offer including; cows, horses, pumpkins,
gourds, and sunflowers. Two of the biggest highlights, were participating in our
ever popular demolition derby and the Truck and Tractor Pull as a co-master of
ceremonies. I enjoyed every moment at each location that I visited on the fair
grounds.

Over the past month, I have already had an exceptional time representing our fair,
through the many tasks that I have been given and I have already learned new
things about myself. I hope the rest of my year is just as exciting which I am sure
it will be.

In just a short amount of time, I will be making a trip up to Toronto to represent our
agricultural society at the O.A.A.S. Convention. The biggest event though, will be
the annual CNE ambassador competition in Toronto, where I hope to make
Spencerville shine once again. I am sure of one thing though, that throughout it all
I will learn many new things that are going to stick with me for life but most
importantly, what it means to be a true ambassador.

I'd like to thank all that have been guiding me through this new journey in my life.
Without them I truly wouldn't be who I am today. It has allowed me to become a
presentable positive representative. I look back on the memories that I have
already made, but look forward to the ones I will make over this year. I know that I
will cherish them forever, and I will always have something positive to look back
on and smile on.
