Arrowsmith Agricultural Association: Home of the Coombs Fair. Celebrating agriculture and community
(8)

We are a registered non-profit society, with roots back to 1913, when district farmers held the first Coombs Fall Fair to showcase local food crops and livestock. Although the name has changed over the years, the mandate of our organization has remained the same, and our presence in the community is growing. The Purpose of our Association is to:
a) to foster community spirit;
b) to promote culti

vation of the soil and general development of agricultural resources;
c) to facilitate, directly or through other associations, the education and personal development of people of all ages in agricultural and farming activities;
d) to conduct an agricultural fair and exhibition.

It’s almost time for our annual food drive! Keep an eye out for our trucks and Firefighters in your neighborhood. We will be in Whiskey Creek from 9-4 on Saturday November 16th and Virginia Estates from 9-4 on Sunday November 17th. All proceeds will be going to the Salvation Army and we will be collecting both food and cash donations. If you are in the area with donations you can also drop them off at our fire hall at 3241 Alberni Hwy from 9-4 both days.
Looking forward to seeing you!

What an incredible day had on the Coombs Fairgrounds for the first of our Coombs Fair kids Club series. Not many photos because we were far too busy creating. Participants made buttercream icing and decorated (and ate) to their hearts content. We made spider webs, spiders and a pumpkin patch.

There’s still a few spaces in our next workshop on November 12. We will be weaving, needle felting and learning to crochet.

Thanks to the quick thinking of our favourite, Craig The Magician! While we were disappointed to miss out on his great escape from crazy heights, Craig pivoted and shared a never before tried trick on our grounds. What an absolute thrill!!! We look forward to seeing what he has up his sleeves for us next year.
