| Fryeburg Fair President accepting the Award |
Each year the Maine Agricultural Fair Association presents the 'Outstanding Large Fair Award' and this year it went to Fyeburg Fairs' Fiber Center for "their unique Coral Reef Exhibit".
WOOHOOOO!!!!
Fryeburg Fair President Roy Andrews accepted the award on our behalf and called me with the news. Needless to say I was thrilled to hear that all of the time and effort that the 150 plus people put into creating the more than 900 pieces that make up the reef have been recognized for all of the hard work!.
Mr. Andrews remarked that this is a prestigious award and one to be proud of. He thanked us for our efforts and job well done adding that some important people in the Maine Agricultural scene took notice of what we had done!
It should be noted that Roy Andrews deserves credit for having the foresight long ago that Fiber is an integral part of Maine agricultural and should be properly represented at Maine's largest agricultural fair. It is because of him that we enjoy the largest Fiber specific exhibition hall in New England!
THANK YOU ROY, for believing in us and supporting us all along the way. This award would not have been possible without your confidence and support, for building our Fiber Center all those years ago, and the continued support from the fair which made creating the Maine Reef possible.
Congratulations to the entire Fiber Project Team! How exciting to be recognized in such a big way! Kudos to all. Thanks to Gale Bellew for enabling some of us in FL to see pieces of the "reef" as it all came together; so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Di. So glad you enjoyed our efforts!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post about marine life and vibrant reefs. Reading about these ecosystems reminds aquarium hobbyists how important proper Reef Tank Dosing is when recreating a stable reef environment at home. Consistent reef tank dosing helps maintain calcium, alkalinity, and trace elements that coral reef animals need to thrive. Many aquarists who keep common saltwater aquarium fish and colorful aquarium fish also rely on accurate reef tank dosing to support healthy corals and balanced water chemistry. Discussions like this highlight why learning about natural reefs matters. At Reef KG, we always encourage responsible reef keeping, proper reef tank dosing, and deeper appreciation for coral reef animals and marine biodiversity.
