Policies and Procedures
The Timmins Fall Fair educates the public on agriculture and gives an opportunity for families to spend a fun weekend together participating in all kinds of activities. The vendor portion of the Fair was included in order to present to area residents handmade products and related agricultural services available in their area. The booth rental committee reserves the right to decide what products or displays will be permitted at the Fair. Education and demonstration of products and services related to farming, cultivation, food preparations, handmade items, etc… will be given first consideration. Other types of vendors will also be considered. All decisions made regarding the acceptance or refusal of an application is final.
