About
Vanscoy and District Agricultural Society has been serving the communities of Asquith, Delisle, Grandora, Pike Lake and Vanscoy since 1982. Our goal is to provide programming that will enhance community spirit and learning.
All of our events and workshops are made possible with support from local and provincial businesses and organizations, through advertising, volunteering and sponsorship.
Vanscoy and District Agricultural Society is a member of the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies & Exhibitions (SAASE). We report annually to SAASE all of our activities.
In 2018 – Vanscoy & District Agricultural Society celebrated 35 years!
Mission:

History
1983 we held our first “fair.” The Outlook reported Thursday September 22, 1983 that “The Senior Citizens and the Agricultural Society held their horticulture show and tea in the Circle Hall. There were many beautiful flower arrangements and house plants. The vegetable and fruit exhibits out did everyones expectations. The baking entries were well represented also, Mrs Monty Zary judged the floweres, fruits and vegetables. The baking was judged by Elsie Gordon. There was a very good attendance all went well for the first try.”
Members of the Community, Advertisers and Supporters
The Vanscoy & District Agricultural Society depends on the support of the community and our financial supporters to provide the programs, education and learning opportunities. We are grateful for all the volunteers that help us to provide this programming as well.
