In 2005 the Brome County Agricultural Society set up bursary funds with Massey-Vanier High School in Cowansville, Quebec.  Each year two (2) graduating students are awarded these bursaries to further their education.

On June 1, 2011 at the Massey-Vanier High School Scholarship and Bursary Ceremony, Gale Johnson, Manager of BCAS presented April Picken of Brigham, Qc., and Joshua Pagé of Sutton, Qc.,  with the BCAS bursary funds.  BCAS wish them much success in their future endeavours.

Midway at Brome Fair

We’ve been under construction this spring. 

The site contains some new key elements which have become popular as a result of a more sophisticated and web saavy surfer. 

People like to see images.  The new site features photographs as a way to promote events and activities.  The text will also be more focused at directing Visitors to the areas of interest. 

Plus all the basic needs of a newer site will be delivered. (i.e.: wider page, home page with slide show, facebook and Twitter feeds/links, widget areas for popular pages, comment feature – more general site interaction)

Please feel free to leave us your comments, fill our the contact form or send us an e-mail.

We hope you will enjoy the new Brome Fair website!

Results of the study conducted by Enigma Research confirm what the directors of the Brome County Agricultural Society already suspected, that the annual event plays a major role in the local economy,

Here are some highlights of the study:

Economic impact of Brome Fair estimated at $1M
• Impact derived from event operations and spending by non-locals
• Includes direct, indirect, and induced spending

Considerable local employment supported by event
• Event supports equivalent of 12 full-year jobs in region
• Most employment in arts, hospitality, and retail sectors

Fair drives regional tourism
• Event attracted over 9,600 non-local fairgoers
• 73% likely to return for vacation, based on experience at Brome Fair

Local residents spent $600,000 related to event
• While not considered economic impact, demonstrates tremendous local support
• Brome Fair influences time and location of local entertainment spending

Agriculture and farming heritage important to attendees
• Most fairgoers feel it is important to learn about agriculture and food
• 70% believe educational content enhances visit to the fair

The Enigma study was conducted with the financial support of the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions and the Cowansville Chamber of Commerce.

Preparations are almost complete for the 153 edition of Brome Fair. The event will be held from September 4th to the 7th.

We are expecting a slight increase in registrations for the cattle and dairy entries this year, meaning that the barns will be full for our visitors.

The famous horse pull is back again this year on Friday evening. The A.S.T.T.Q. will be holding a truck pull on Saturday evening. The big parade will be at 1:00pm Sunday.

Montreal born Jonas will be hitting the stage on Sunday night, 8:00pm to handle the musical entertainment.

A new event this year is added to the Monday afternoon schedule. The Agri-Man challenge will test the agricultural abilities of team members competing for their favorite charities. Tractors, hay bails and various agricultural products will make for a funny and challenging mix.

All shows are included in the price of admission. Midway rides are also included.
