Fair Ambassador
Ancaster Fair Ambassador Competition
If you are between the ages of 18-25 (not married, with no children) and are interested in becoming the next Ancaster Fair Ambassador, please prepare the information below for the application. The Ambassador program will be part of the AAS Appreciation Night.
The Ambassador represents the Ancaster Agricultural Society at the OAAS Convention in February in Toronto, parades throughout the summer, at the CNE in Toronto in August, and other events held at the Ancaster Fair (dinners, luncheons, etc). The Ambassador also is a crucial member of the Society at the annual Fair, attending many of the events and presenting ribbons. Each year with the AAS is different, and we want to have the Ambassador involved in as much as possible that goes on at the Fairgrounds.
Introducing
Mya Turner
Meet our 2025 Ancaster Fair Ambassador
Hello and welcome to the 175th Ancaster Fair. My name is Mya Turner, and I am thrilled to represent the Ancaster Agricultural Society as the 2025 Ambassador.
It all began in 1850 with a one day show where animals and crops were shown on the circus grounds, fancy goods displayed in the town school, and horse races were held on the Mohawk trail. This fun-filled community event has continued to evolve into the fair we know today. As we are “Celebrating 175 in 2025”, I’d like to recognize the efforts of all the members and volunteers who devote countless hours of their time to making each fair a success. They truly are the heart of this organization.
I was introduced to the fair at a young age. I’d wear pink cowboy boots, black and white show clothes and my signature pink cowgirl hat and enter the sheep show ring with my lamb by my side, it was then my love for the fair began. I’ve been an exhibitor ever since, first showing lambs then adding entries to Homecraft and becoming a member. As a city girl, being involved with the AAS has provided country roots and valuable agricultural knowledge.
As the ambassador I’ve embraced many new experiences and had the opportunity to connect with other youth ambassadors through the program. In February, I attended the OAAS convention, represented the AAS at local events and parades through the summer and look forward to attending the CNE Ambassador of the Fair's competition in August.
As we celebrate 175 years of livestock competitions, homecraft displays, demolition derbies, and so much more. I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the Ancaster Fair to mark this milestone year!
