2013 President’s Message Dear Exhibitors,

On behalf of the Markham and East York Agricultural Society, I would like to ex-tend a great BIG HELLO to all exhibitors of our 169th Fair.

In being an agricultural society part of our duty “is to hold annual agricultural ex-hibitions featuring competitions for which prizes are awarded”. Whether you have exhibited at the Fair for years or if you are considering entering for the fi rst time, the Board of Directors would like to welcome everyone and say thank you.

Exhibits are a huge part of our show because without them, our building display cases and livestock barns would be empty. We do recognize however, that it can be very time consuming to bring your amazing exhibits to the fair. So we extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all who come from far and wide for taking the time to share with us. Thanks for your art & antiques, crafts & clydesdales, holsteins & homemade quilts, pigeons & pies, and your rabbits & roses. No matter what your category or class, we are glad you choose to participate.

In return for contributing your animals and displays, we hope you each enjoy the Fair experience and the feeling of pride you have all earned. Everyone who un-selfi shly shares their exhibits for all to enjoy is truly a winner! We wish everyone the best of luck and thank you again for helping to make our Fair outstanding. See you at the Fair,

Lesley English, President, Markham Fair 2013

2013 Homecraft President’s MessageIt is my privilege to be Homecraft President for the 169th annual Markham Fair. The chosen theme of this year’s Fair is Homecoming, which embraces our heritage while recognizing the importance of our community.

Year after year, volunteers and exhibitors work diligently to create an entertaining, educational and memorable experi-ence for you, our visitors. I want to extend a special thank you to my Homecraft Executive, and to all committee volun-teers who have worked tirelessly to make this wonderful Fair happen.

Our Homecraft division features fi ne artisanal crafts, Christ-mas décor, intricate quilts, photographs, antiques, school children’s artwork, fl oral arrangements, senior displays, and vegetable showcases. Not to mention the delicious baking and mouth-watering preserves.

I encourage you to meet our vendors in the Commercial Exhibits buildings who bring an array of wares too numerous to mention.

Take in the sights and sounds of the tractor pulls, the enter-tainment tent, and the demolition derby. Check out the Agri-Food tent and get both the hands on, and interactive experi-ence to learn about the relationship between agriculture and your food. Hit up the midway for a thrill, and play a game of chance, or go animal and visit Old MacDonald’s Barn!

There is something for everyone at the Markham Fair - let’s come together and make this year an unforgettable one!

Sincerely,

Cathy Edwards, Homecraft President 2013

2012 Ambassador's Message I am nothing less than honoured to be the 2012 Markham Fair ambassador, it has been a childhood dream come true. Not only did I get to see the fair through new eyes and spend the weekend with two great girls (Jenn Lee and Victoria Osadchuck-Hammond) but in August I am privileged to repre-sent this wonderful non-profi t community organization at the CNE.

When you enter your work into the Markham Fair an inter-esting series of events occur. First there’s a sense of intrigue and excitement when picking which classes to enter, then you brainstorm on how you’ll make your work much more amazing than everyone else’s. Next is the time spent work-ing on your entries (or being hounded by your mother to fi nish said entries), and fi nally, it’s time to bring your work to the grounds! More excitement builds in seeing all the activity from volunteer’s prepping and exhibitors, like yourself, bring-ing in what they’ve worked so hard at but you begin to worry; what if someone else drew a cartoon cow that’s cuter?! No matter, judging occurs and it’s Fair time! (Traditionally a yearly holiday for me.) Your worries dissolve once you see your work, and regardless of place, you are proud. Proud to see your work displayed for 70 000 people, proud that you get to bring everyone you know to admire it and proud that al-though someone DID draw a cuter cow, everyone you know likes your work best.

I have kept most of what I’ve entered because that pride never goes away, for me looking at past work and thinking about the Markham Fair brings back gilded memories. My only wish is that you give the Fair a chance to do the same for you. The Fair is a wonderful place fi lled with good hearted people; it has something for everyone from nightlife to knitting.

Your Markham Fair is made better only by the community that surrounds it. For these reasons I strongly encourage anyone that can enter to do so. Canada’s largest 4-day fair couldn’t do it without you.Happily yours,

Alana Tufford, Markham Fair Ambassador 2012

2013 Markham MayorOn behalf of Members of Council and the City of Markham, I am pleased to extend a warm and sincere welcome to all those attending the 169th Annual Markham Fair, Ontario’s oldest autumn fair.

This annual four day event is an integral part of our com-munity. From its early days as an agricultural society where farmers gathered to discuss agricultural improvements and showcase the fruits of their labour to the present day Fair, guests have an opportunity to experience old fashioned fun and modern day activities, from a horse pull to a demolition derby, from displays of baking and crafts to the midway, from sheep shearing to live entertainment, there is something for everyone.

I extend a sincere thank you to the organizing committee and the many volunteers who give so freely of their time and expertise to make the Markham Fair such a success year after year. A special thank you also goes to the hundreds of participants who exhibit their livestock, produce, baking and crafts, reminding us all of the importance of our heritage. You are to be congratulated on a job well done.

As Mayor, I am proud of your efforts and I am pleased to have this opportunity to extend my best wishes for fun fi lled day at the fair!

Yours sincerely, Frank ScarpittiMayor

2013 Stouffville Mayor Each year I look forward to welcoming the attendees of the Markham Fair. I have attended the Fair since I was a child, and to this day I wait in anticipation for the gates to open. As residents of Whitchurch-Stouffville, we are fortunate to host an event of this magnitude in our community and welcome visitors from all over Ontario.

Canada’s largest four day fair, Markham Fair provides families a wonderful opportunity to get out together and have some old fashioned fun. Whether you browse through the home craft and baking exhibits, shop in the produce and livestock market, or attend shows such as the demolition derby, truck and tractor pull, and Monster Truck Madness. Young or old, there is something at this Fair for you to enjoy!

On behalf of Mayor and Council, I extend a sincere thank you to the organizing committee and the long list of volun-teers that work tirelessly to put this Fair on. And to all the participants that exhibit their livestock, produce, and arts and crafts, a very special thank you to you. Without you, the fair would not continue to bring the crowds it does year after year. Thank you for taking the time to join in the fun at Markham Fair – enjoy!

Sincerely

Wayne EmmersonMayor

James Torrance – Markham Fair President 1913 and 1914 By Myra Chepack

A hotelkeeper, horse breeder/importer, Markham Fair Director and President as well as the father of a Markham Fair President! James Torrance was born in 1861 in Strathhaven, Scotland, arriving fi rst in Scarbor-ough and then Markham in 1863, with his family. Father, James (born 1831) and mother Margaret (nee Stewart) endured the ocean crossing with their six children, Abraham, Alexander, Margaret, Joseph, John and James.

Both James Torrance Sr. and his son James ran the Franklin Hotel, located on the west side of Main Street in Markham just north of the Town Hall (which is used as an offi ce building, to-day). James ultimately purchased the Wellington Hotel, owned by Capt. Wm. Armstrong. This was a fi fteen acre property known as Lot 10, Conc. 8 and was located south and west of Hwy. #48 (Markham Main Street) and Hwy. #7. At that time it would have been Main Street and Old Wellington. The accompany-ing photo featuring one of James Torrance’s fi ne horses, shows a structure directly north of his farm, which is the building currently owned by Pizza-Pizza, previously the Shea Real Estate offi ces and in 1913 the home of Chapman Jewellers. James demol-

ished the Wellington Hotel and built a “handsome brick home”. It was from this location that James Torrance bred and raised prize winning Clydesdale horses. He made numerous trips across the ocean to Scotland to personally purchase them. He was a keen exhibitor of Clydesdales at the C.N.E. and a consistent exhibitor at the Fair, which, of course at that time was conveniently located just to the east of his property. His prize winning stock were offered for stud, making two stops per day, as advertised in the Economist and Sun. Local Hotels seemed to be the locations most frequented and occasionally an individual farm was visited. The itinerary of these steeds reads like the concert tour of an international performer!

James married Elizabeth E. Jerman (May 12, 1873 – Aug. 7, 1905), in 1897 in Markham. She was the daughter of Anne Armstrong (1849 – 1877) and John Jerman (1838- 1926), a blacksmith who also built wagons and furniture. John Jer-man served as a councillor in 1873, when the village of Markham became incorporated. A position he held until 1882. Anne (Armstrong) and John Jerman also had a second daughter, Jennie, who died before her second birthday. The Jermans are buried at Grace Church Cemetery, Markham.

Lesley Ann English (Nee Brown)Markham Fair President - 2013

By Myra Chepack

Lesley was born on March 4th, 1966 at Newmarket Hospital, the second of two children born to Sandy and Fred Brown. Her older brother was given Mom Sandy’s maiden name of Russell.The Brown family has a long history in Canada with John Brown emigrating from Ireland about 1824. The fam-ily claimed several parcels of Crown Land in Reach Township and eventu-ally moved further west on Kingston Road to the Whitby area. The families endured the many hardships of the pioneers of that time while attempting to fulfi ll the obligations of Crown Land ownership. Lesley’s Grandfather, Frank Brown farmed the family farm on the south-east corner of what today is Markham Road and Finch Avenue. The area was known as Brown’s Corners and until 1914 a general store was operated from this property as well by David Brown. The 1878 map of Scar-borough shows the second farm west of Markham Road on the north side, as being in the ownership of David Brown as well.

Grampa Frank married Ila Wil-letta Hastings from Brown’s Corners (Scarborough) and took up residence on the farm purchased in 1930 at the corner of Kennedy Road and 17th Avenue (now Major MacKenzie Drive). Frank’s brother Scott also married a Hastings girl, Norma. The Hastings farm was directly across from the Brown’s family farm at Markham Road and Finch Avenue and would become an almost landlocked landmark by the 1980’s. Local people of that era re-member Keith (Ila and Norma) Hast-ings brother, keeping cattle virtually beside a major thoroughfare, with the property transcribed by a railway track and bordered with a freight yard.

Frank and Ila had 7 sons and a daugh-ter. Five of the children married and built homes on the farm on 17th Av-enue. Some of Lesley’s uncles worked off of the farm but her Dad Fred stayed and worked the farm raising a dairy herd and large hog operation. Lesley recalls her early years as being the only girl among a group of boister-

ous male cousins on the farm, who ultimately numbered 14 in all. Lesley always tried her best to keep up with her boy cousins in every way including racing snowmobiles and motorcycles on the farm. Through a period of almost 50 years the extended Brown family have managed to work and live in harmony with each other in a caring and cohesive group.

Lesley grew up on the farm attending Markham High School and ultimately Wilfrid Laurier University where she graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in accounting.

After graduation she articled with Dunwoody in Markham, while studying to become a Chartered Accountant. After becoming a C.A., she spent six years downtown with the law fi rm Fraser & Beatty and then ten years with Navicom Inc. Now she is the C.F.O. and Vice President of Opera-tions with O.C.R. Canada, a mobile computing and wireless technology company located much closer to home, negating the long downtown commute.

Lesley showed dairy cattle as a 4-H member from the age of ten as well as gathering crops for exhibiting at the Fair. At the age of sixteen she won the Reesor Marmill’s silver tray awarded to the most improved show person. That same year she was featured by Jim Thomas in his newspaper column “The Girl Next Door”. She was a Junior Farmer and of course was expected to “pull her weight” on the farm as all farm kids are. It seems Les-

ley started multi-tasking early, as she was studying, helping with farm books and holding two part time bookkeep-ing jobs one with the well known local cabinetmaker Garlatti Antiques and also with Markham Physiotherapy Clinic in town. At eighteen Lesley won the honour of being a Markham Fair Princess where she proudly served with President Bryan Armstrong in 1984. She has been an active mem-ber of many Fair committees and has served on the Board of Directors for 24 years, for most of those years as Finance Chair.

Lesley met husband Bill English during driver’s education class at Markham High, when she was sixteen. Her de-termination and will power postponed their marriage until May of 1992, when she had acquired her chartered accountancy status. Bill meanwhile was playing Junior Hockey and was on his own career path studying at the University of Toronto where he graduated with a BSc. in biology, which he utilized while working in scientifi c instruments, chemical water treat-ment and now with Pack Pro selling automated packaging systems. Bill’s Mother, Adella English, is a well known and highly respected local real-estate agent. She participated in the Fair with Bill and his three siblings when they were youngsters. Bill’s Dad, also Bill, sadly passed away last year. He, like Lesley, was a chartered accountant and a terrifi c Grampa.

page 13

Bill and Lesley have two children. Jack is in his Grade 11 at Stouffville High and plays on the AA Major Midget Clippers Hockey team which makes Lesley a proud “hockey Mom”. Daugh-ter Lizzy like her Mom, is studying Business Administration at Wilfrid Lau-rier University, is a fi gure skater and both she and her brother have served on a number of fair committees. Bill coaches hockey and supports Lesley’s very busy work and Fair President schedule. As Lesley is one of a small number of women Presidents, Bill is fi lling the critical role of the silent strength behind the President which is typically reserved for wives.

Lesley’s brother, Russell also grew up on the farm and addresses that residual need by cash cropping land just south of Musselman’s Lake, while managing, with wife Wendy four Tim Horton franchises. Russell is a past Director of the Fair and is involved with the heavy horse pull. Wendy and their children Ashley and Ryan are active in Special Attractions and the Information Booth.

Lesley’s Mother, Sandy Brown (Russell) moved to the Brown’s Corners lo-cated at Woodbine Avenue and Hwy. # 7 from Toronto at the age of thirteen. She attended Buttonville School, which was a one room school house for her fi nal two years of elementary. She met Lesley’s Dad, Fred, at the Young Peoples Group activities hosted by Brown’s Corners United Church (west of Woodbine on the north side of Hwy. #7). They were married in 1962 and Sandy gamely joined the Brown family farming operation at Kennedy and 17th. Fred milked Holstein cattle for 47 years, raised hogs for a number

of years and served on Fair commit-tees for over 25 years. He was an exhibitor and one of the original group in the ever popular Old MacDonald’s Barn. His sister Barbara Skelton is re-sponsible for the many orange Skelton Transports seen annually at the Fair. As Lesley herself has pointed out, the Markham Fair is like the annual Brown Family reunion! Many family members are involved and many more are in attendance.

The Fair under the stewardship of many Presidents, boards of Directors and dedicated volunteers has evolved from a purely agricultural and rural culture exhibition, to a venue attempt-ing to refl ect a more urban demo-graphic. The fairgrounds of today, con-sists of 100 acres of valuable land and hosts many events unrelated to the Fair’s original mandate. It is with much passion that President English hopes to be party to responsible growth and development over the next 5 to 10 years, increasing the Fair’s refl ection of the growing community and taking advantage of its strategic location. She sees partnerships evolving, an empha-sis on environmental responsibility and perhaps a more intensifi ed business approach, utilizing the grounds on a year round basis. Agricultural educa-tion is still very much on Lesley’s mind, with the hopes that today’s children and new citizens can be served in a meaningful and inclusive way, as the Fair attempts to develop new and cre-ative measures. The growth of digital photography, for instance has resulted in the addition of a greatly expanded photography category, as well as new breeds of cattle and horses that will instigate areas of competition not seen in the past.

President Lesley English, while ac-knowledging and saluting the leader-ship of the past has a strong desire to see the Fair evolve in a sustainable and balanced fashion with a strong commitment to promoting agriculture. She intends to provide her passion-ate determination, high energy and daunting skills long after her tenure as President of 2013.

Markham Fair (1913) A Success as UsualBy T. Rogers Gardham (Past President 1977)

In researching and writing about happenings 100 years in the past it is often easy to lose perspective. We live in a world today where everything we do is almost instant from communication to eating. Lives are lived a day at a time.

We can recall our successes and failings of yesterday and plan for the days to come, but on a daily living basis we need confi dence in ourselves and what we can draw from family, friends and neighbours.

Within that context there is one other need “continuity of community” or the established structure of “our world”. It may be family, it may be friendships, it may be a place of worship and it can be “an organization”, girl-guides, scouts, golf club, hockey games, and theatre. There is a long list. In this case it is Markham Fair, which has been a guiding light in Markham and its former Township since 1844. These groups provide our “Continuity in Community” and in turn make us who we are.

For instance it is generally an annual happening that the Society’s Annual Meeting will be held about mid January, and it was in 1913; on Friday the 17th at the Town Hall with President Adam in the Chair. And over 60 new members were recorded. The fi nancial statements recorded Gate Receipts at $2,305.10; Donations of Cash, Goods and Cups (trophies) $1,324.30: Grants $1,390 with other minor items included total receipts were $6184.95.

exceeded liabilities by $17,312..94.“The Secretary A.W. Milne reported total entries of 2571, which included Horses 248; cattle 167; sheep 117; swine; 53; poultry 503; dairy products 149; grain, vegetables, fruit and fl owers 264; fi ne art 160 and ladies’ work 464” and 446 distributed over a variety of other exhibits.

Capt. Adam outgoing president thanked the meeting for the honours conferred on him during the past year and introduced the new president Jas. Torrance”.

Shortly afterward the new board met at the Franklin House and the new Committees were appointed as well as the Secretary A.W. Milne reelected and Treasurer Capt. Adam appointed. John Isaac was elected Hon. President for 1913 and “Jas. Torrance was appointed caretaker of the buildings and the fairgrounds were re-leased to him for a year on the same terms as before.”

There was much reported about the uses of the new Hydro Electricity particularly for farm uses in feeding and milking cattle. It was reported early in the year that A.W.Milne (Fair’s Secretary) “was busy planning and surveying for the building of a new cement dam at Markham’s Grist and Cereal Mills to be 20 feet in height, which was expected to produce in addition to very fi ne power will create a beautiful pond covering some 40 to 50 acres” (the purpose being that locally produced power would be

much cheaper).

Plans were also in process to build a Radial Railway from Toronto to Markham with branch lines to Stouffville, Uxbridge and Port Perry, the line to Markham would come up the 6th Line (Kennedy Road today).About 100 municipal representatives attended the meeting in Toronto City Hall to hear a report presented by the Honourable Adam Beck, which effectively stated that the cost of hydro power could be greatly reduced to towns and villages in Ontario if delivered in combination with a radial railway.

During August a story appeared relating to a Lawn Bowling Trophy that was being donated by AJH Eckardt of Toronto (originally Unionville) in memory of the public service of his great grandfather Philip Eckardt, grandfather Gottlieb Eckardt and father William Eckardt for the purpose of contributing towards the encouragement of public and gentlemanly games and to be awarded annually in recognition of the winners of the annual lawn bowling tournament. The relation to the Fair is that James E. Eckardt was President of the (then) newly amalgamated boards Township of Markham Society and East York Society in 1903. The Trophy can be seen at the Markham Museum, just ask the Curator, Janet Reid.

The Markham Economist ME (there was only the one paper at the time as The Sun had closed) was published on Thursday and the Fair was held Oct.2 (Thur) & 3 (Fri) the Paper carried a report under a picture of Jas. Torrance, President: “Markham Fair Is Here

splendid exhibits assured in nearly all classes Exhibitors and Caretakers Busy. As the Economist is going to press (Wednesday afternoon) the exhibits in the Main Hall and in the Rink are nearly all placed in position and the display is an exceptionally good one.” The article goes on to say that the ladies work displayed upstairs in the main hall is exceptional and that horticultural and agricultural products are “shown in abundance.” The Hydro Electric display featured labour saving devices and there was a real good show of “carriages and cutters, not forgetting several automobiles – the Ford, shown by Messrs Davison & Brownlee, and the Studebaker by Messrs. A & H Wideman.” A note later in the article says that “special provision was made for automobiles and special caretakers were available and will look after them”. (This seems to be the fi rst example of valet parking at the Fair.)

The Oct. 9th edition of the paper featured a full report on the happenings at the Fair. “Gate receipts:$2,200; attendance both days: 14,500; entries almost 3200. Markham Fair scored another success last Thursday and Friday. Owing to overcast weather on Thursday the attendance was smaller than normal, but on Friday there were fully 12,000 on the grounds. The Strathcona competition for school children in Markham and Scarboro Townships was an interesting feature on Friday. Three school classes competed in physical drills, two from Mount Joy and one from Scarboro. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Davidson of Unionville gave an exhibition in front of the grandstand with her beautiful trick saddle horse. She made him walk, trot, pace, single step, canter, gallop and waltz at will without use of the reins; lie down, pick up a handkerchief, kneel and fi nally pose on a pedestal and wave the Union Jack.

Many prominent visitors were present on Friday including J. Lockie Wilson, superintendent of Fairs, Sheriff

page 15

McCowan, Geo. H. Henry, MPP, Wm & Thos Graham from Claremont, Reeve Dr. Sangster of Stouffville, Reeve Nigh of Markham, Reeve Cornell of Scarboro, AJH Eckhart, Col. Gooderham of Toronto and many others.

The star attraction both days was the big ring where trotting horses raised the greatest interest. The track was fast and good times were made. The most excitement was furnished by the farmers’ trot and pace, and before it started. Some of the horses decided to enliven the proceedings by giving special stunts of their own. One of them reared before the judges’ stand and fell, then after being reharnessed gave an encore. When this one was being hitched the third time a compatriot on the other side of the track followed with another tumbling act and the spectators began to think that bronco-busting was the event and not a horse race”.

Another star attraction was “The Temple of Fame” produced by the Markham Branch of East York Women’s Institute at the Town Hall Thursday and Friday nights of the Fair where women played the roles of world “famous women in quaint and fancy dresses” to the accompaniment of piano music played by Mrs. Adam, as well as an orchestra. One of the new roles was “The 21st Century girl” who was called as an encore by ovation. Both nights were sold out performances and on Friday hundreds were turned away. Admissions totalled $213”.

A sign of the rapidly changing times appeared in a report that the Port Arthur Wagon Co. was in fi nancial diffi culty, “but that the Markham factory, we are assured has been doing a profi table business since the amalgamation. Manager Speight is confi dent satisfactory arrangements will be made”. Within weeks there was another report declaring the company insolvent.

As the year was coming to a close

a special appeal appeared in a letter from the Chair of the Board of the Hospital for Sick Children, with some comparisons on the numbers of children cared for between the Hospital’s opening in 1875 and 1913. “One nurse, six little white beds, a few friends, a few dollars – this was the beginning. The beds have grown to 250, the dollars to thousands, the friends to hundreds. In 1875 there were 44 in-patients, 67 out-patients. In 1913: 1,648 in-patients, 25,507 out – patients; 1875 – 1 nurse; 1913 – 70 nurses. In the 38 years from its founding the hospital has treated 180, 249 children. Busy dollars are better than idle tears. The sympathy that helps is good, but the hospital needs sympathy that works. While Christmas bells are ringing for Him who ‘made the lame to walk and the blind to see’ help the Hospital to help God’s little ones”. And ‘Sick Kids’ continues to perform its wondrous treatments today for a multitude of children including “our little Jake!”

It was a year of wars, particularly in Eastern Europe, a harbinger of gathering clouds for the Great War that was soon to come. The Panama Canal was nearing completion and with it a watery bridge to the Pacifi c. A new US President, Woodrow Wilson, an academic and thinker had just taken his place in the White House with no idea of the bloodshed and carnage he would encounter and what the League of Nations he would champion would produce for the world.

The country and the world were on the cusp of a new era in which the coming 20 years would bring enormous change the likes of which had historically never before been encountered. Yet Markham Fair would be there to maintain Continuity of Community.As noted the above meeting was chaired by the 1st Vice president as James Eckardt had passed away. As a “prominent citizen of East York” whose well attended funeral was held in Unionville on January 13th, 1904, considerable space was devoted to a “sketch of his life”. He had been ill

for several weeks “affl icted with cancer of the stomach”, which was known for some time to be terminal. He was buried from his home and the Lutheran church with services conducted by The Reverend Samuel Stouffer. He had been the license inspector for East York for 20 years and was 66 years of age when he died. He was survived by his widow , four sons and four daughters, some living in Unionville and others the US and South Africa.

The death was also covered in the Toronto Globe where an interesting anecdote was recounted and included in the local story. Apparently the Eckardt farm had been in the family’s possession for over 100 years and when Wm. Lyon MacKenzie returned to this area, having been pardoned after the 1837 rebellion, his fi rst visit was to Godlip Eckardt, (James’ father) “a warm personal friend”, who had also served prison time for the rebellion. During the picnic celebration that day, a strong party (of bodyguards) had been gathered by Mr. Eckardt to protect MacKenzie as a report had been received that an attempt would be made on his life. Fortunately no attempt was made, probably due to the action of Eckardt. (See also last year’s biography by Myra Chepack on James relating to unusual precautions with Godlip’s grave.)
