• Number of years of involvement for each.
• Describe the nature of their contribution.

Louis and Jean Latimer and Family - Rural Family Service Award 2006

Olds Agricultural Society committee chairs are encouraged to submit names for consideration by the Board. Primarily focused on Olds Fair & Rodeo involvement, facilitators of year round projects will also be considered. Special attention is reserved for those submissions that have developed innovative ideas or programs that result in additional revenue generation or increased attendance at the Olds Fair & Rodeo or other Olds Agricultural Society facilitated events.
