2018 President’s MessageDear ExhibitWelcome to the 2018 Markham Fair. Thank you for reading the prize book. Compet-ing at Markham Fair has been an annual tradition for over 174 years. We hope you will fi nd a section that interests you in order to enter your homecraft or livestock items .

In addition to the competitions, our fall fair is a gathering place to connect with friends and family. It is a place where we learn about new ideas. It is how we improve ourselves individually and as a community.

This year’s theme is “Old Days, New Ways”. There’s no doubt about the importance of agriculture from our past and present. It would be impossible to live without it. Technology is helping to change the way we do almost everything. The fi rst Google smartphone for example is only 10 years old. Many of these new technologies are helping fairs to contribute towards the education of our fair visitors about food pro-duction in our community. New ways are also being developed to help us in the care of animals and the care of our environment.

Our fair has lots of moving parts. Volunteers, Board, Staff, Exhibitors, Vendors and Visitors. No one does this alone. We all work as a team. Thank you to all. This couldn’t happen without you!

There is so much to see at Markham Fair; entertainment, livestock exhibits, amaz-ing works of art in the Homecraft and General Exhibits buildings. Try some delicious food. Experience the midway. Life is about stories and the fair is part of many past and future great ones.

We invite you to visit with us at Markham Fair and have fun. On behalf of the Board of Directors we look forward to seeing you this fall!

Regards,

Doug van Wolde – President of Markham Fair, 2018

Judi Francis2018 Homecraft President

I have been going to the Markham Fair as long as I can remember. In recent years, as a 4H Member, I have enjoyed showing calves, entering achievement proj-ects and volunteering at the Fair. Becoming the Junior Fair Ambassador in 2017 was a dream come true for me. As Junior Ambassador I had an all-access pass to the fair! I had the privilege of hand-ing out ribbons at various events and meeting the many amazing volunteers who make Markham Fair pos-

sible. I would like to thank Laura Empringham, Markham Fair Ambassador 2017 and the entire Ambassador team for mak-ing it such a fun and memorable experience for me. I would recommend competing in the Junior Ambassador program for anyone ages 12-16. It is a great experience being able to speak in front of a crowd, learn more about the Fair and be a part of the community. Enjoy Markham Fair 2018!

Luke Ducheck2017 Jr. Ambassador

Becoming the 2017/2018 Markham Fair ambassador has been amazing, and I couldn’t be more honoured to represent such an out-standing organization. All these memories would not have been possible, and these experiences would not have been the same without my fair family. Thank you to 2017 president Darren Little for making the 4 days of the fair an unforgettable one. A big thank you goes out to my ambassador committee who helped me experience so

many new aspects of the fair I haven’t been able to before. Most important of all, Olivia Bolender and Rachel Moore, the fun times we had together as the 2017 ambassador team will last a life time, thank you! I truly believe that being involved in the fair has made me into the person I am today.

Come join me at the 2018 Markham fair where you can continue old traditions, experience something different and make new memories.

Markham Mayor’s Message 2018

On behalf of Members of Council and the City of Markham, I am pleased to extend a warm and sincere welcome to all those attending the Annual Markham Fair 2018 held at the Markham Fairgrounds.

This fair is an exciting and engaging event. It brings mem-bers of our community together and attracts visitors from all over the GTA to our great city. The fair has evolved from its early days as an agricultural oriented fair, where farmers gathered to showcase the fruits of their labour to what it is today, a chance for our community to experience life on the farm and modern activities.

I extend a sincere thank you to the organizing committee and the many volunteers who have dedicated their time and effort in making this event a success. A special thank you also goes to the hundreds of exhibitors for reminding us the importance of honouring our culture and heritage. Congratulations on a job well done.

As Mayor, I am proud of your efforts and I am pleased to have this opportunity to extend my best wishes for an-other great year at the fair!

Yours sincerely,

Frank ScarpittiMayor

On behalf of Members of Council and the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to the 2018 Markham Fair. Markham Fair is the oldest and largest four day fair in Canada, rich in history and tradition.

The outstanding reputation and success of the Fair is due to the tireless dedication and countless hours of hard work by the volunteers and organizers. It gives me pleasure to recognize and thank all of them.

There shall be only one (1) teamster. Each team shall have at least one (1) helper and not more than two (2) helpers in the pulling area.

In case of an emergency one (1) of the helpers may assist the teamster.

11. The horses, while pulling or hitched to the boat must stay within the lines of the course, or they will be disqualifi ed from that try only.

Doug P van Wolde President 2018

by Myra Chepack

Doug, the eldest of two boys was born on May 4th, l969 to Chuck and Gail (Gallagher). Mom grew up in Stur-geon Falls, Ontario and Dad came to Canada from Holland, arriving at Pier 21 in Halifax. Doug has journeyed twice to Halifax to further research his Father’s arrival. Dad’s middle names were given to each of his sons and Doug was given his Father’s name as a middle name, which was Petrus, Dutch for Peter. Doug’s Dad was an auto mechanic, providing him with skills his folks utilized in their enjoyment of cross coun-try car rallies. Brother, Eric and wife Sue, live close by, in Clare-mont, Ont. Their son, Finley, who is ten years old is right into hockey and loves the monster truck exhibition at the Fair. The van Wolde family lived in Scarborough, at Midland and Finch, when Doug was young. His elementary school was Saint-Jean-de-Lalande at Sandhurst Cirlce and Finch, which was only the second French School in the Toronto area at the time. His fi rst language being French, Doug graduated grade eight, despite the fact that the family had relocated to Markham and Doug’s Mom had to drive Doug daily after the move. Doug lived next to MDHS on Church Street and eventually stopped carrying all of his daily requirements to school in the morning. It was just as easy to slip home for supplies/lunch, etc.! Doug had been involved with the Boy Scout movement in Scarborough and continued his interest in this organization when he moved to Markham. It was to be his key to making new friends and developing new interests. He was offered a part-time job at the Mister Pet store, located in the fi rst version of Markville Mall. Tropical fi sh had been one of Doug’s passions and combined with his knowledge of rodents and reptiles, he brought an air of expertise to those areas of the store. The pet store (along with the entire mall) closed on a Sunday. The three employees took the kittens and puppies home overnight on Saturdays, so that they would not be alone all day Sunday. Doug bred and maintained the same fi sh colony for eighteen years in his home, in an outstandingly beautiful and massive tank. While in grade nine, Doug purchased his fi rst SLR camera and proceeded to participate in the co-op program with Markham Photo on Main Street and also Wel-lington Photo, located in Sherwood Plaza. By grade ten, he was a knowledgeable and aspiring professional photographer. His experience allowed him to mentor other students in his photography classes and introduced him to a lifelong pursuit. After high school, Doug worked for Honda in sales and parts and then moved into marketing with Levi’s. While in the garment industry he attended trade shows and discovered the value of learning from others in the trade. Later in life, Doug went on to graduate from Durham Col-lege in Project Management providing him with skills he uses in his everyday life and particularly helpful at the Fair. Although they had both attended MDHS, Doug met his future wife Sarah (Hamnett) through mutual friends. Doug was an active volunteer at the Fair when they met and he pointed out to Sarah that if she wanted to see him on Fair week-end, she would have to attend the Fair! In fact, Doug maintains becoming a member of the Fair was a

condition of their continued dating! She did and they were married on August 23rd, 1997. Sarah was smitten by the Fair and ultimately became Home Craft President in 2002, as well as volunteering on the Beef Cattle committee. Sarah is employed in the fi nance industry working with a team who help Canadians export goods to all parts of the world. They currently reside in Goodwood, but lived for a number of years in Brooklin, which is very close to where the President of 1917 lived years ago! Doug exhibited for the fi rst time at the Fair when he was in grade nine. He was a volunteer by his second year and became a Board Member in 2003. He has been involved with the Fair for thirty years, working on many committees, including governance, and staff support. The experience he gained developing the Canadian version of Levi’s fi rst web site defi ned his specifi c interest in the Fair back in the late nineties. He was encouraged by Past President Paul Dona-hoe, whose infl uence allowed Doug to be part of an IT team evolving a computer program for the Fair that is still in use to-day. Despite the usual resistance to change, he was able to register a domain name, in 1996 and create a web site, in 1997 with the blessing of the then General Manager Dave Morrison. Doug operates his own internet marketing and web development business at the present time. Doug brings a strong corporate style leadership to his role on the Board. He has been a strong advocate for the implementation of producing an animal care guide, the public safety program, the crisis management plan and standard operating procedures. He takes the long view on sustain-ability and the longevity of the Fair. He spends much of his family vacation visiting other fairs and employing the skills he learned many years ago at trade shows. Those being, the art of talking and listening to others about their thoughts regarding many of the same issues Markham Fair faces. He is also an active participant in Agricultural and Fair Manage-ment groups. Doug considers the members of the Board along with many volunteers and staff to be his long time friends as well as advocates for the Fair. He is excited to fulfi ll his role of President this year but his focus is very much on the fu-ture needs and betterment of the Fair, in years to come. He envisions growth and perhaps community partnerships to address the very real and expensive infrastructure mainte-nance required. The Fair can only benefi t from the foresight and commitment Doug brings to the 2018 Presidency.

Robert James Cunningham Jr. President 1918

By Myra Chepack

Born on August 10th, 1860, Robert James Cunning-ham Jr., was the only son of Robert James Sr. and Isabella ( Robertson). His father immigrated from Ayrshire, Scotland and ultimately farmed lot 6, conc. 4 (Woodbine and 14th Avenue area). He resided on this property until his death at the age of 89, in 1912. His obituary notes his keen inter-est in all things agricultural and the fact that the year prior to his demise was the fi rst in which he had missed attend-ing Markham Fair. He was one of the Economist’s earliest subscribers and was considered progressive, warm-hearted and genial, as well as enjoying the love and respect of the community. He and neighbour John Reid were noted to be threshers in the south-west region quite early but the writer was unable to substantiate the validity of that statement. He was buried at St. John’s Presbyterian Cemetery on Warden Avenue, south of 14th Avenue.

Robert, Jr. mar-ried Euphemia Ann Hagerman, the daughter of Nicholas and Jane, at Hager-man Presbyterian Methodist Church on April 2nd, 1890. The Nicholas Hagerman’s lived on the north-west corner of Ken-nedy Rd. and 14th Avenue, referred to as the Hager-man sideroad. The local school (SS#8) was located on the south side of 14th Avenue, across from the Hager-

man farm. It is in use currently as a restaurant. Although they lived within such close proximity to one another and were schoolmates, it is noted the bride was age 28 and the groom 29, at the time of their wedding! The deed to the 100 acre parcel owned by Robert Sr. was transferred, in this year, to Robert Jr. although Robert Sr. continued to reside on the home farm until 1912. To-day this property is owned by The Miller Group . Robert and Euphemia had three children, Ross Hagerman Cunningham who died at the age of 19 in 1910 and is buried at Hagerman Cemetery West. Elmo (or Elmer), was born in 1896 and Robert Harold Cunningham (1899 – 1959). Robert Harold married Lizzie Johnston and served in WWl. Elmo, at the age of 22, is shown to be farm-ing 20 acres adjacent to Robert’s farm in the 1918 census but at the time of Robert’s death in 1942, he is listed, in his father’s obituary, as being with the RCAF in England.

Robert Jr., farmed most of his life but was em-ployed by Markham Township in his later years, as the ‘roads foreman’ , holding that position until his death at the age of 82, in 1942. It is noted that his death occurred at Toronto East General Hospital as the result of a fall from an apple tree, likely on the home farm as there was an orchard on the property. His funeral was held at son Robert Harold’s home in Langstaff and Robert Jr. was interred at Hagerman Cemetery West. The pall bearers were prominent members of the community, being George Kelly, Aubrey Stevenson, Doug Hood, Fred Tennyson, W. Baker and Deputy Reeve Charles Hooper. These gentlemen were all residents of Buttonville, which had a population of fi fty, in 1942. Aubrey Stevenson’s son, Leonard, is shown in a photo with Robert’s son Elmo, possibly in the 1920’s. The President of the 1918 Markham Fair was a long serving Board member and appears to have been a solid and hard working citizen. To have been climbing apple trees at the age of 82 says a lot about him! The Archive Committee sincerely thank Markham Museum for their research and assistance in gathering infor-mation for this article. The sharing of their expertise is very much appreciated.

Markham Fair 1918 WWI Ends

but the Fair Carries On

By T. Rogers Gardham (Past President 1977)

The war that began in 1914 continued to drag on with extensive losses of life suffered on both sides wreaking hardship on all parts of Canada, but was particularly notice-able in the smaller rural communities which were under heavy demands for growing crops while also being required to provide young fi ghting men. Despite the Americans entry into the War in 1915, hostilities had increased. As a result attitudes toward Americans had changed in these years. A Toronto paper charged that The Star advo-cated closer trade relations with the U.S. The column writer stated: “who today is not in favour of closer trade relations with our friends across the line. Were it not for the generos-ity and self-denial of the U.S.in letting coal come into Can-ada many of us might have been frozen to death last winter, and certainly most of our factories would have shut down. Economic and commercial relations were never closer than they are today. The habits and the ideals are the same and both stand for freedom. British and American friendship has now been cemented in the blood of young manhood of both nations in France so freely shed for the cause of liberty”. Regular readers of this column will also recall that the Markham Agricultural Society was required to take on additional costs for its new building in 1917 as a result of the builder’s bankruptcy which required it to assume unpaid construction costs as awarded by a judge. The new build-ing was located on the fairgrounds at the juncture of Hwys 7&48 and included a skating rink in winter and a gathering area for the community.

The Society’s Annual General Meeting was held on Saturday Jan.19, 1918 in the Council Chambers, with a comparatively small number of members present, and when President Hargrave called the meeting to order it was found that the Society’s books had not been returned by the solicitor and the minutes of the last AGM could not be confi rmed. A motion was passed for the new President to call a special meeting to do so at a later date. Mr. Gould, Treasurer presented the fi nancial state-ments but was unable to give the exact cost of the new building. He said the Society’s solicitors Messrs. Douglas and Gibson had been paid $700 to cover the lawsuit against the building contract and that the Society had arranged a $6500 loan from Mr. Silverthorn supported by a mortgage over lands and buildings and a personal guarantee by fi ve direc-tors of which he was one. The directors had also given per-sonal security for a bank loan of $1500 to ensure payment of Fair prizes.

Financial Statements presented showed Receipts totalling $25,242 consisting mainly of Loans $19120, Grants $1272 and Gates $1686. Expenditures, which equaled Re-ceipts were mainly Loans and Interest $19692, Prizes $1790, Salaries, Grounds and Buildings $1172 and sundry $1331.Assets totalled $24332 mainly Grounds, building and equip-ment of $22,400. Liabilities totalling $24332 were mainly the mortgage $6500, and Bank Loans $1500, secured by direc-tors and were exceeded by Assets by $14734. The new offi cers elected were Honourary Pres: A.J.H. Eckardt, W.J Harper, Alex Pringle, Ed Kirk, and Harold T. Smith. The new Fair President was - R. J. Cunningham; Vice Pres- 1ST P.H.Reesor, 2nd F.E.N. Reesor. Directors: Markham Village: Alex Douglas, Jas. Torrance, D. E. Jones, Thos. Har-grave, R.J. Reesor & Jas. Malcolm. Markham Township: J.M. Armstrong, J. Couperthwaite, Jas. Gleeson, G.A.M. Davison, J. Gowland, J.I. Balsdon, Orme Lowry, John W. Graham and Geo Cowie. Scarboro Tp.: T. Maxwell, Jas. Laurie, R. Ormer-od and Geo Scott. Pickering Tp.: Walter Milne and Geo Tran. At the second meeting under the new, President Cunningham, Reeve Fleming praised the offi cers and direc-tors for their energy and devotion to the welfare of the fair and strongly recommended that a manager be appointed for the fair. The Secretary A.W. Milne, who had served the Fair for 17 years was moving to Milton to farm and regretfully tendered his resignation. A proposal was offered to create a new post of Secretary- Treasurer which was passed. An elec-tion ensued for the post between past president Gould and Gordon Douglas with Mr. Gould being elected. When ten-dered the position he did not accept the position off-hand

but stated that all committees be operated in a business-like manner and that all accounts be properly certifi ed and prop-erly reported to the Board. The selection of Fair dates was to be held over to the next meeting called by the President. It seems that Mr. Gould’s wishes fell on some deaf ears as when the next meeting was held on Friday afternoon March 1st at 2 PM at the Franklin with 18 of the 25 direc-tors present many were surprised to hear that the Society’s bank account was $24 and that accounts due in the next six weeks totaled over $1000. Director R.J Reesor suggested that the money required should be raised by selling badges for $1 each which would provide entrance to the Fair in the fall. The motion met with almost unanimous approval and badges were given the name “Mortgage Lifters”, and a com-mittee was formed to sell the badges. Director F.E. Reesor moved the Fair dates Thurs, Fri and Sat Oct 3rd, 4th, and 5th. All agreed that having the last day on Saturday and pro-viding extra attractions, the attendance of Toronto people would be increased as Saturday was a half holiday. The board adjourned to meet again at the call of the president who was instructed to have a start early in the day so that the minutes of the 1917 AGM could be confi rmed. (The meet-ing was held at the Franklin House on March 30th and the minutes approved). Two major pieces of legislation came into effect during this time mainly to assist as war measures, the fi rst: Daylight Saving Time to provide more daylight hours for work in the factories and fi elds and a Graduated Tax on Incomes for fi nancial support for the war and graduated so that “those enjoying the highest incomes paid the most taxes”. This was the beginning of Canadian Income Tax. During the war receiving “boxes” containing homemade bread, cookies, jams, pickles, etc, were real morale boosters for young men far away from home, and unex-pectedly the home newspapers in which the “treats” were wrapped. A letter from the “front” appeared in the MES from Sgt. Carlton Couperthwaite: “I saw an account of the Fair. The rain no doubt would disappoint many as the races had to be called off. There always seems to be something to make a mess of a good thing, even over here the rain some-times gives us a check and spoils things for a time. The best of it is that we come back stronger than ever”. In the spring with seeding and other farm work in high demand for the war effort farmers were being pressured by the Federal Government for more food and fi ghting men. An MES story titled “Produce or Fight Farm-ers Can’t Do Both; is the unanimous opinion of 200 farm-ers who met in Council Chambers here on Tuesday night (Apr.30th). A motion by H.C. Hamill and J.W. Warriner, carried unanimously, stated in part “the government would be well advised before further depleting the farms of skilled labour as provided by the recent order- in- council as the production of foodstuffs for export will without doubt be seriously affected in this district. Nearly all our farms are undermanned at this time and should the war continue for another year the prospects for the future will be a minimum rather than a maximum.” Early in October, around Fair time, W.R. Crosby of Buffalo, son of the late H. P. Crosby of Unionville, and owner of the Buffalo Metal Works, gave a donation of $250 as a result of the Fair Board’s appeal to “Old Boys” to pay off the debt on the Grounds. R.R. Corson of Sovereign Perfumes in Toronto also sent in $25. R.G. Armstrong a Fair past presi-dent who had moved back from Saskatchewan suggested the

Grounds would be improved by planting trees and creating fl ower beds to fi ll some hollows and promised a “hand-some” donation for the purpose. As the paper was going to press on October 3rd the weather was ‘summery’ and the fairgrounds was a beehive of activity “with exhibitors and caretakers arranging exhibits in the hall, the midway people arranging their tents and the merry-go-round, the tractor exhibitors tuning up for demonstrations and the trotting horse men exercising their horses on the track”. The report of the Fair happenings the next week bore the headline “Markham Fair successful despite the weather. On Friday about 2600 attended and the weather was fi ne and the racetrack condition was good. On Saturday afternoon some 8000 people attended including many prominent people from Toronto and a number from United States. George Henry the Minister of Agriculture attended and Mr. Crosby the donor from Buffalo, who had recently been elected a Honourary president. The ladies driving contest won by Miss Margaret Davison of Unionville was a special attraction”. There were over 30 Classes awarded prizes and to-wards the end of the list was a class for Art: Oil Painting and Water Colours, of which Miss D. Megill, Toronto, Miss Mabel Cale of Iowa Falls, Iowa, Miss J. Graves and Miss Bailey were principal exhibitors. The new Secretary Gould had been unable to complete his books; as well, the fi nance commit-tee chair had been taken ill with infl uenza and was unable to provide a full fi nancial report. While the gate was estimated at about $2000, full information was not available until the next weekly paper. A report also appeared that some 400 automobiles were parked on the grounds and as many more were on the back streets. In the October 17th edition of Markham Economist and Sun (MES) there was a front page story stating that the Fair had shown a surplus of $1000 and comments that indicated that with care and enterprise there was no reason the Markham Agricultural Society should not pull itself out of the hole in a few years. The story, followed by the fi rst half of the Prize List, also revealed that gate receipts were almost $1800 and that total receipts were about $3500; prizes amounted to $1782 and there were approximately $800 in other expenses. Around this time reports began to appear about the Spanish Flu which was sweeping around the world killing millions of people; in fact, it began in the Markham area around Oct.5 and may have been the reason the Fair’s fi nance chairman was ill and unable to provide fi nancial information when the Fair ended. At the time many area people were ill and at fi rst suffered with pneumonia which in some cases resulted in death. The fi rst in Markham to suc-cumb was Richard B. Moore of Franklin Street, a Liveryman, and appeared to have died within a week. The fl u suffers increased to epidemic proportions and schools, churches and other activities which drew large crowds were cancelled including the East York Plowing Match which was to be held at Sandy Doherty’s farm on Kennedy Road. Late in October the German Military Offi cials began to Sue for an Armistice and the Thursday November 7th MES bore the Headline “WAR IS OVER Germans signed Foch’s terms for armistice this morning”. Unfortunately the information was false and all the local celebrations were in vain. All celebrating had to be called off; however, on Monday November 12th the wire services reported the Armistice had been signed on “the 11th day of the 11th month” and the celebrations in Markham began “in earnest” according to

the MES of November 14th. “Every house and business place was decorated in bunting, as if by magic, and the town went wild. Whistles blew; bells rang out the glad news. Staid busi-ness men paraded up and down the street blowing horns and beating tin cans, Anvil Cannons boomed (a substitute for fi reworks) and the school children paraded. At 11 AM a public service was held in the town hall which was thronged to the doors. The ministers of different churches gave thanks to the almighty for the glorious victory of the Allies and the massed choirs of the churches sang hymns of praise and the gathering closed with the National Anthem. Many of our citizens motored to Toronto in the afternoon and said they never saw such rejoicing crowds – the lid was off with people rejoicing as they willed”. Once again Markham Fair has shown its ability to survive in a changing world and to share in the adversities and joys of the people of its community. From that sharing “The Fair” has continued to prove its importance despite changing times in the community, in the Province, in the Country and in the world, because “things happen” for good and bad, it’s the people, the people of Markham Fair, as well, that make the difference.Much of the research on these reports comes from infor-mation provided by the gracious people at the Markham Museum. If you’re new to Markham or have been here “for years” and want to explore the past that made the present of this great City the Museum and its people will intrigue YOU!
