The Paris Agricultural Society is a non-profit organization, established in 1858 in Paris, Ontario, dedicated to promoting agriculture and rural life in our community. We achieve this through a variety of events, workshops, and educational programs that foster appreciation for the agricultural industry while preserving our region’s cultural heritage. We are seeking partnership funding in the form of sponsorship to support and expand these efforts.
Central to our mission is the Paris Fair, an annual tradition that has brought the community together for over 165 years. The fair is a cornerstone event in the County of Brant, attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year, and showcasing local agriculture, arts, and heritage. Its longevity and continued success highlight the strong community support and the vital role it plays in preserving rural traditions while adapting to the needs of new generations.
Your support will directly enhance our ability to deliver programs that connect people of all ages with the importance of sustainable farming and local food systems. Research shows that community-based agricultural education significantly improves public understanding of these topics, which is crucial for the future of agriculture. With the full backing of our Board of Directors, we are committed to the success of this initiative, aligning closely with your mission to support education and community development.
Our deep-rooted history in the County of Brant, coupled with our extensive experience in hosting events like the Paris Fair, uniquely positions us to achieve our project’s goals. We are a trusted resource in the community, able to bridge traditional agricultural practices with modern knowledge. This funding would allow us to extend our reach, enriching the lives of residents across the region.
We believe this partnership offers an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact, and we invite you to visit our site to experience the positive difference your support can make. Thank you for considering our request.
