About The Ambassador Program
The Brigden Fair Ambassador program was started in 1972 and has been changing and growing every year. Today, it is seen as an opportunity for youth to learn and grow within the community.
The Brigden Fair Ambassador doesn’t need to be an expert in agriculture, live on a farm or have grown up in Brigden. You will only need to be between the ages of 17 and 26 (as of August 1, 2026) and have an eagerness to learn. This program is about learning, being seen as a leader in the community, taking on new challenges and let’s face it – having it on your resume doesn’t hurt either.
