Experience the passion and enthusiasm that Directors, Associate Directors and volunteers have put into this year's events based upon the theme "Corn is King".

Explore the thrills of an agricultural fair, have some laughs, relax and enjoy the cultural aspects of our fair. Bring your family, friends and relatives as we have something of interest for everyone. People of all ages have been saying for years, how much they enjoy our fair. There is so much to see and do.

On behalf of the Port Hope and District Agricultural Society, it is with great pleasure that I extend both gratitude and appreciation to the numerous volunteers who have dedicated their time and resources, and to our many sponsors, community members, organizations, the Municipality of Port Hope, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and Canadian Heritage who give so much support. Finally our thanks to you, our entrants and visitors. Your contribution and support have added to the success, longevity and increasing popularity of this traditional event.

Founded in 1831, Port Hope Fair is one of Ontario's longest consecutively running fairs. We look forward to seeing you at our 179th Fair on September 17, 18 and 19, 2010.
