Kelly's Day at the Kirkton Fair

The Kirkton Fall Fair/Kirkton Ag. Society showcases agriculture in the local community. Their organization provides education and opportunities through their 4-H and Junior Farmers groups, and explores new opportunities through learning.

Kelly selected this organization because she grew up here and continues to live in this community. Her time volunteering with the Ag Society was spent putting up security fences, organizing the education tent, moving straw bales, setting up the community centre (to help display local talent!), as well as clean up and take down duties.

“I would do this again in a heartbeat. Supporting my local community is near and dear.”

Sarah's Day at the SAA Family Fun Day

Meet to the Sebringville Athletic Association! We’re a team of volunteers running the Sebringville Community Centre, baseball diamonds, and playground. We bring people together through Sebringville Sting Softball teams, family dances, kids’ craft mornings, holiday bingo nights and much more!

As a registered charity, The SAA relies on hall rentals, donations, and fundraising to keep things running. Sarah and her family joined the SAA last year to give back and support our community.

The SAA’s Family Fun Day took place on Saturday, August 24th, to celebrate the end of the baseball season with activities like a bouncy castle, carnival games, pie-your-coach, and a BBQ. Ball players enjoyed a free meal and giveaways from local businesses, like Tradition.

Sarah volunteered her time on Friday, August 23 and Saturday, August 24. On the Friday, volunteers set up the hall, collected silent auction items, prizes for the children & food for the BBQ. On the Saturday, she volunteered her time, but also attended as a parent!

We’re always looking for volunteers of all ages to help with events or join our Board. Whether you can help out at one event or get more involved, we’d love to have you on board!
