Hello friends,
My name is Al Lang, the President of the Millbrook Agricultural Society. As a local community
group, we would like to acknowledge that the Millbrook Fairgrounds are located on the Treaty
20 territory, in the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishnaabeg. We offer our gratitude
to First Nations for their care of and teachings about these lands.

This year we celebrate another milestone for the Millbrook Agricultural Society. We host the
175th annual fair. The board of directors in cooperation with the Cavan Monaghan council and
staff are extremely excited and proud to continue to host this event.

It is a culmination of volunteers partnering with community groups, businesses and organizations
that make this all happen. I extend my heart felt thank you to those folks who sacrifice personal
and family time to plan, organize and execute a massive community event for all to enjoy. Your
dedication and commitment to the local and surroundings communities is truly remarkable.

This years fair is full of new and exciting events that reflect and celebrate the past 175 years.
