Canada's longest running fair!
 
Join us at Princess Louise Park, Sussex, for the 114th edition of this marvelous agricultural showcase!
 
View delicate handcrafted items while marveling at the best flowers and vegetables from local gardens. 4-H members exhibit their cattle and horses as we celebrate the region's proud agricultural heritage.
 
Lists of classes are available at the Sussex office of the Department of Agriculture, 701 Main St., 432-2150.
 
 
Needlework New Brunswick, the province's leading fibre arts organization,
is proud to launch two new prizes in connection with Canada's longest running agricultural fair. Fibre artists have a chance to win the award for General Excellence as well as the Golden Needle award during the Kings County Agricultural Fair.
The General Excellence title will be awarded to the person who has the highest number of points for their fibre arts entries. The Golden Needle title will be presented to the person who enters work in the most disciplines at the event. Needlework New Brunswick is pleased to salute the role fibre arts have played in Canadian history as well as the quality of needlework being produced today.

Congratulations to the 2009 winners of this year's Needlework New Brunswick prizes!
 
Laura Stockdale of Drury's Cove claimed the Golden Needle prize for her entries in the most needlework classes.
 
Marion Anderson of Wards Creek takes home the General Excellence award for having the highest overall standing among needlework entries at this year's event.
 
Thank you and well done to all stitchers and fibre artists who participated!
