The president of the Gilbert Plans — Grandview Ag Society called their Annual General Meeting earlier this week a success.
Kevin Boese tells CKDM the virtual format for the AGM worked out quite well, as their board and committee members joined on-screen.
He says not much has changed coming out of Monday night’s meeting, with pretty much everything staying the same as last year — including Boese remaining as president of the Ag Society for another year.
Boese tells CKDM he’s proud and happy to continue in the president role, adding he absolutely loves being apart of such a wonderful group of people.
Planning For Summer Events
The Ag Society has chosen May 10 as the cutoff date for making a decision on whether to have a fair and rodeo this summer.
It was cancelled last year due to COVID-19.
“If everything looks like it’s open and we’re able to have a fair, we definitely want to. Like I said, May 10th will be our cutoff date for the final decision.”
In any event, Boese says the plan is to at least go ahead with a parade this year — an event he feels could be pulled off safely under COVID restrictions.
But for now, he says it’s a waiting game to see where the provincial regulations will be by that time.
The Ag Society president predicts even if things do open up, it wouldn’t be as big of a fair and rodeo as they’re used to putting on.
Boese says they plan on moving ahead with some projects on the fairgrounds in the spring.
