Along with the return of school, we have the return of the Fall Fairs! Consider entering as an exhibitor, or just join the fun at the carnival! Check out the LFA page for all the fair details!

The LFA is hosting their Regional Meeting on Monday August 25th at 7pm. All LFA members are invited to attend, and encouraged to volunteer to represent Lambton County at the Annual Meeting of the OFA in November in Niagara Falls. Always worth the trip, the LFA supports members attending this event to share Lambton’s concerns with the OFA and other county members, network and perhaps find some new and educational information. The LFA particularly encourages our young farmers to attend OYF, and the Annual OFA meeting. The regional meeting will be held at Lambton County Developmental Services, 339 Centre Street, Petrolia. Refreshments will be provided. For more information on the Regional Meeting, or attending the OFA Annual Meeting, contact Christina at [email protected].

Get started today with the lure of a $1,000 prize in each category as an incentive. All videos must be submitted before September 15, 2014. Join the conversation about OFA’s ‘Reel’ Farm Video Challenge on Twitter by using the hashtag #ofavidchallenge.
