2025 Awards

On October 25th, the Agricultural Society gathered it’s members, volunteers and fall fair exhibitors for an annual potluck  dinner and awards ceremony.   Here we award trophies and prize money for the “best of” exhibitors at the fair.  

3 New Trophies were created this year to honour  past members in memory of their significant volunteer contributions to the SRMAS over past years;

Lynn Mantha Memorial Award for the SRMAS Heavy Horse Pull - Light Weight Division

Henry Middlebrook Memorial Award for the SRMAS Heavy Horse Pull - HeavyWeight Division

Pat Middlebrook Memorial Award for Overall SRMAS Fall Fair High Point Champion

We were honoured to have members of both Lynn and Pat and Henry’s families attend the awards to initiate these trophies, share in stories of their contributions. A certificate of outstanding service and volunteerism were awarded both by the Provincial  and Federal governments.

Another Special trophy we introduced this year was Outstanding Volunteer Work by a Junior for SRMAS Director; Mia Beatty. Mia  has helped the SRMAS and children's entries in the Hall classes particularly grow this year through such great work as organizing a series of craft workshops for children and youth through the summer.

The entertainment for Awards Night was thankfully provided by local musician,  Hart Furlong and the photos provided by SRMAS Direcotr Robyn Leegstra of Pine Acres Farm.
