Founded in 2000, the primary objective of the Middlesex County Agricultural Hall of Fame is to recognize those who have demonstrated unselfish achievements within the realm of agriculture and service to the rural community in Middlesex County and beyond.
Each year inductees are honoured at the Hall of Fame Luncheon at our annual meeting in March during the Western Fair Farm Show. Portraits of all past inductees are on display at our new home in the Agriplex lobby. The Hall Of Fame is sponsored by Libro Financial Group
“History
is made up of People – People who are part
of events – Events that have developed the
Province. Therefore while we are grateful for
the things – the artifacts – in a
museum, it is only right and fitting that we honour
those men and women, who provided the dynamic,
effective leadership which transformed our Province
from forest wilderness to becoming a model of
modern efficiency. Such were the people who did
not live for self alone, but for the betterment
of all mankind. There can be no better objective
and no greater achievement.”
William A. Stewart |
The Western Fair Association, in conjunction with several agriculture organizations, instituted the Middlesex County Agricultural Hall of Fame. This distinction recognizes the history and tradition of agriculture in Middlesex County.
