The Enda Marshall Memorial Trophy has been a part of the Binbrook Fair exhibitors' list since 1983. The Marshall Family sponsored this award after the passing of Edna, Stanley Marshall's wife and the BAS continued with this award. It has been a standard of excellence to strive for by many bakers each year of the fair. Enda Marshall was a baker with high standards in her own right and won a multitude of prizes through the years with her baking as an exhibitor. The BAS remembers their support and dedication of Enda' and her family's participation as volunteers and exhibitors.
It is now with gratitude and remembrance of Mrs. Edna Marshall, that the BAS will retire this award of excellence. The trophy will continue to have a place of honor in the society's showcase alongside many names that have been recognized with this award of excellence in culinary skill at the Binbrook Fair.
We look to the future with a new and refreshed community of exhibitors and welcome the next 'batch' competing for their first '1st' prize.

Agriculture Education Program
The Binbrook Agricultural Society in partnership with the TD Binbrook Branch are proud to sponsor the
AGRICULTURE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Friday September 15th for Grade 2 & 3 Classes
Chairperson: Michele Bain (905) 537-7584 or shadowbrook.bain@gmail.com
Committee: Jane Elliott: 905.692.9157 e: lenandjane@rogers.com

Attention Teachers
Our Agricultural Education Program is held annually on the opening Friday of the Binbrook Fall Fair, the second weekend after Labour Day. We have 2 sessions in which we bring in eight grades 2 or 3 classes. They rotate through eight 15 minute sessions. There is a limit of 25 students per class. The focus has always been to provide hands-on sessions to the students, which could never be brought to the classroom.
Seven of the sessions are focused on farm animals located at what we fondly call "Old MacDonald's Farm". We usually have dairy cows in a milking parlour, a beef cow and calf, sow and piglets, sheep and a week old lamb, horses, alpacas, chicks hatching in an incubator, and baby chicks that the children can hold however, the animals are the not the same every year. The eighth session is on Farm Machinery and is held just outside of the Old MacDonald's tent. In the event of rain the farm machinery segment is held under the tent using toy farm equipment as examples.
Bring your grade 2 or 3 class out to the country to see live animals and their young. Come to observe, pet and ask questions about the animals.
For full information about our award winning program and to download an application to bring your grade 2 or 3 class please visit our website at www.BinbrookFair.org.
