It’s #MeettheBoardMonday and today we’re introducing Stephanie Matthews. Stephanie is no stranger to the #FergusFallFair as she started exhibiting in the dairy cattle show at the age of three! She became a director of the Fergus Agricultural Society in 2019 and volunteers her time on the agriculture committee where she is the lead organizer of the ever-popular Fergus Fall Fair Farm Animal Tent. “Agriculture is a significant part of my history and upbringing having grown up on a dairy farm and I feel it’s very important that we continue to promote agriculture awareness and education to the public,” she says. “Being involved is a great way to make a meaningful contribution to this goal that benefits my local community.” Although Stephanie is the first in her family to volunteer in Fergus, three generations before her have served other agricultural societies. She currently works as a national injury management specialist for a global laboratory testing company and has previously volunteered with the Grand River Jersey Club Association, Wellington 4-H and Fergus Curling Club. Stephanie, thank you for all you do, especially for introducing fairgoers to cattle, sheep, piglets and more in September! 🐮🐷🐥 #EloraFergus #CentreWellington #Volunteer
