The Huron Perth Agriculture and Water Festival, held annually in Seaforth, is ending after 30 years.
The Secretary-Treasurer of the Festival Committee, Elizabeth Balfour explains why the decision was made.
And same thing for 2022 and 23…and by then, there’d been changes in the committee and Balfour says it felt like time to move on.
Those two groups have been determined.
Balfour says after 30 years, they have a lot of people to thank.
Large supporters of the event were Huron County Federation of Agriculture, Perth County Federation of Agriculture, Huron County Egg Farmers, Huron County Chicken Farmers, Huron County Dairy Producers, Huron County Beef Producers, Huron County Pork Producers, Perth County Pork Producers, Huron County Grain Farmers, Perth County Grain Farmers, and the Huron Clean Water Project. The committee would also like to thank the many community groups from across Huron and Perth counties who donated. These groups ranged from agricultural societies to Lions Clubs and Optimists to Women’s Institutes. Every donation contributed to the success of the festival.
The committee would also like to thank the students, parents, and teachers who attended the festival through the years.
