Volunteers are always appreciated and help is always required for all aspects of the Fair. The Hymers Agricultural Society (HAS) is a volunteer board, but we also use the help of volunteers in the kitchen and around kids activities, for example.
Hymers Fair can provide High School students with community service hours which are required for graduation. Volunteers are not only needed during the Fair weekend, but throughout the summer to ensure the grounds are ready for the fair.
Volunteering, what’s in it for me?
- Make important networking contacts
- Learn or develop skills
- Teach your skills to others
- Meet new people
- Feel needed and valued
- Make a difference
- Show you care about the community you live in
When children volunteer, it improves the likelihood they will volunteer as an adult.

- Attend the AGM (Annual General Meeting) on the third Saturday in January
- Attend meetings every second Thursday of the month
- Actively work on some aspects of the Fair
Become a Junior Director (Ages 12–17)
The Hymers Agricultural Society also invites youth ages 12–17 to join us as Junior Directors. This is a great opportunity to gain leadership experience, learn about agriculture and event planning, earn volunteer hours, and have a voice in shaping fair activities for young people. Junior Directors work alongside our board in a supportive environment, building confidence, teamwork skills, and community connections while helping keep local traditions strong for the next generation.
