Some of the many benefits of your OAAS membership include:

  • OAAS Annual Convention in Richmond Hill in February, which provides opportunities for networking, education and entertainment for our members
  • Youth program – newly developed program to assist our agricultural societies in encouraging additional youth participation in their organizations
  • OAAS Webinars, for example, insurance information, board governance
  • Advocating with OMAFA to maintain, improve and add new provincial programs and funding, as well as increase their awareness of the OAAS and our member agricultural societies
  • Marketing our Agricultural Societies and their fairs and activities through the new OAAS website (www.ontariofairs.com) and the creation and distribution of the annual OAAS Agricultural Societies and Fairs brochures and directories
  • Created a new data management program with AssistExpo to improve our Judging Program track changes and make updates.
  • The OAAS worked with OMAFA on Agricultural Careers funding to promote the Agri-food Careers initiative. In turn, each Agricultural Society was eligible for funding of $500.00 per day each day of your fair and more!
  • We are looking forward to working with you over the coming year!

NOTE:
“Agricultural Society Membership” Fees are based on Fair gate receipts. If your Agricultural Society has a “Pay One Price” admission for one or more days of your Fair, please determine your gate receipts by using the same Admission Fee that you have or would have charged regularly multiplied by gate attendance.

For example
The normal ticket price is $10 and Concert night (admittance and concert) is $25. Attendance is 2,000 people – gate receipts for Concert night would be $10 multiplied by 2,000 people = $20,000. 
Same idea for a “Pay One Price” that includes all Midway rides. If regular admission is $10 and “Pay One Price” is $30 then $10 admission is multiplied by gate attendance to determine gate receipts.

Thank you to the Agricultural Societies that have paid their membership fee already.
