SENIOR AMBASSADOR’S MESSAGE

Aubri Dupuis 2025 – 2026

Welcome to the 170th annual Teeswater Fall Fair, where we celebrate “Memories in the Making”.

My name is Aubri Dupuis and I have had the privilege of serving as the 2025/26 Teeswater Agricultural Society Senior Ambassador.

I live on a farm just outside of town where my family owns Bruce Square Baling. I am currently attending Western University for Psychology, where I hope to one day move back home and serve our community as a Speech and Language Pathologist. 

My year as ambassador began with a fun filled weekend at the Teeswater Fall Fair. I kicked off the fair Friday night at the opening ceremonies where I
introduced myself alongside members of the Agricultural Society and our local representatives, followed by serving wings and listening to music from the
evening entertainment. Saturday began bright and early helping out at the baby show and partaking in the parade. Afterwards, I helped hand out ribbons at the beef show. To try and cool down, I visited the kids area where I rode the mechanical bull (it did not go well). I spent the afternoon handing out prizes at the frog jumping contest and the pedal tractor pull. Sunday morning I judged the Saugeen Valley Pony Club dress up competition before helping auction off pies, cakes, and more. I ended the day at the demolition and combine derby, helping hand out trophies!

Over the past year, I attended local fall fairs, such as the Walkerton and Mildmay, where I met up with other ambassadors to experience the fun at their fairs. At the district 10 meeting in Thornbury, I had so much fun baking with fresh apples, line dancing and meeting the district 10 ambassadors. During the winter, I participated in the Teeswater Santa Claus Parade and became one of Santa’s elves afterwards helping hand out treatbags. I had the privilege of donating leftover treatbags to Ronald McDonald House in London where they went to many families, which brought a lot of joy during the holiday season! I then attended the OAAS convention in Toronto, where I, along with 80 other ambassadors from all around Ontario, participated in workshops about understanding personalities using DISC, the benefits of using social media for fairs, and how to get youth more involved in the community.

This was an amazing opportunity to network and learn about other Agricultural Societies within Ontario. I am honored to represent Teeswater at the 2026 CNE. As my time as ambassador comes to an end, I would like to extend great thanks to the Teeswater Agricultural Society for granting me this amazing opportunity. Thank you to the many volunteers for your hard work and dedication that allows for our community roots in agriculture to grow. Thank you to the sponsors and members of the community for your immense support. Without all of you, our fair would not be possible, so thank you.

I am looking forward to crowning the 2026/27 Teeswater Agricultural Society Ambassador. This has been such an amazing experience, so soak it all in.

Here’s to making more memories at the fair!
