Message From The President

Welcome everyone to the 2023, 169 th Orono Fair. Our theme this year is “Harvesting Community Connections”.

I would like to thank the directors, volunteers, sponsors and exhibitors; without your hard work and contributions the fair would not be as successful as it is. A special thank you to the management committee for ensuring everything “behind the scenes” is taken care of.

We have an exciting line up this year with Demo Cross on Thursday night and Sunday afternoon presented by Impact Motorsports. We can’t wait for everyone to have a great time enjoying Blue Rodeo at the Friday night concert! The truck and tractor pull on Saturday night, agricultural education all weekend long, learn more about animals in livestock lane, sheep show, goat shows, beef cattle show, dairy cattle show, homecraft exhibits, fruit, vegetable, maple syrup, field crop, plants and flower competitions and more. Make sure you take in all your favourite fair foods and rides you’ve been missing since last years fair!

I hope that everyone has a chance to enjoy everything we have happening Sept 7 th – 10 th and can reconnect with your fair friends and family! Be sure to check our Facebook, Instagram and website for exhibit entry, announcements, ticket locations and presale information.

See you all at the fair!

Shelby Dillon, President
