2021 EMBRO FAIR
September 18 - 19, 2021
"How Sweet It Is"
2021
To the Embro & Zorra Community, Agricultural Society members, volunteers, exhibitors, patrons and vendors of Embro Fall Fair,
After careful consideration and discussion, the Embro & Zorra Agricultural Society board of directors has made the decision to again postpone the traditional Embro Fair due to the uncertainty of COVID-19. This decision is made based on our concerns for health and safety and how to effectively run activities within unknown public health guidelines.
The board however, is planning competitions and activities that can be done within public health restrictions that will be done throughout the summer and fall as well as the fair weekend including; our annual pumpkin growing contest, a scavenger hunt, virtual farm tours, possible drive-through dinner, a fall porch decorating contest and more to come!
Please stay tuned to our website (www.embrofair.com), Facebook page and community news for some classes and
activities we hope to run in the fall (following social distancing regulations).
We look forward with hope that we can celebrate the 2022 Embro Fair in a more traditional fashion.
Sincerely,
Katelyn Sykes,
President, Embro & Zorra Agricultural Society

November 2020
With regret, the Embro and Zorra Agricultural Society has made the decision to postpone our 2021 Dinner Theatre until 2022. This was an easy decision given the situation in the province with COVID-19, to do our part to help minimize the spread.
The annual Dinner Theatre has been the main fundraising vehicle for the Agricultural Society for over 30 years. This helps the society to put on the annual Embro Fall Fair and other community events throughout the year. We ask that you consider to support our other fundraising events throughout the year.
As they say, 'the show must go on' and indeed it will. We sincerely hope that you will join us February/March 2022 for the Embro Dinner Theatre production of "Splitsville". Thank you.
