The Village of Ayr came alive with excitement as the 113th North Dumfries School Fair welcomed students from across the township for another memorable showcase of creativity, skills, and community pride. Organized by the North Dumfries School Fair committee, this not-for-profit tradition has long invited school-aged children to display their talents across a range of exhibit categories from art and photography to gardening and creative crafts.
For many families and educators, the fair is a cherished fall event, offering students the opportunity to shine in a supportive, welcoming environment. Parents, teachers, and principals alike are encouraged to explore the fair's guidelines, helping students create and present their exhibits with pride and care.
St. Brigid students eagerly participated in this year's event, with one student crafting an intricate tractor out of recycled materials, others showcasing beaded bracelets, and even a unique hat made entirely of duct tape. Holly, an eighth grader with a passion for drawing, submitted a detailed sketch of Ayr featuring its latest buildings and businesses. Her talent was rewarded with a first-place prize, and her artwork was proudly displayed, drawing admiration from attendees.
