Arrowsmith Agricultural Association
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 Association is governed by a volunteer board of directors, a great group of people who bring a wide variety of valuable skills to each new project, and a firm commitment to the purpose of the association. Through careful management, over the past 91 years the Association has added to its holdings, and owns the fair grounds and buildings . We even lease, for a nominal fee, a portion of our land with a building to the Coombs Volunteer Fire Department. We are an organization with an extremely good track record and solid community support. The Purpose of our Association is to: a) to foster community spirit; b) to promote cultivation 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.
