Thank You To All Of Our Volunteers

The Board of Directors of the Flos Agricultural Society would like to sincerely thank all those people who repeatedly volunteer their time, equipment and expertise to assist in the preparation, organization and presentation of our Fair every Thanksgiving weekend. There are far too many names to list, but you know who you are, and we would like you to know that without your assistance, we could not provide the much anticipated “Homecoming” weekend for everyone to enjoy, while also attending one of the very best Fairs in the Prov- ince of Ontario each and every year.
