2010
Ottawa SuperEX Celebrated 122 Years of History August 19th
to August 29th, 2010.Inclement
weather was a factor in the size of our crowds with rain or showers on the
first seven days of the event, resulting in a decrease those particular days
over 2009 visits.
The weather was
fantastic for our final weekend, Friday, August 27th through Sunday,
August 29th, 2010, which allowed SuperEX to do some catching up,
resulting in only a 7% decrease in visits from 2009.Total visits for the 2010 Ottawa SuperEX
were 392,510.
“Overall we are very
happy for the support shown by the community as they all returned to this
year’s SuperEX to help us reminisce and to celebrate all we had to offer”, said
C.C.E.A. President, Lyn Presley.
SuperEX will make an
announcement later this fall regarding SuperEX 2011.
To the media who
covered and supported the 2010 SuperEX this year, thank you so much for your
continued support.

The Pizza Pizza Free Concert Series
presented by Pizza Pizza, OLG, CTV and

almost every day during the SuperEX.
Juno Award winning classic rock band, The Stampeders hit
the Pizza Pizza Free Concert Series Stage
at 9:00p.m. Saturday, August 28th
- No
seventies group represented Canada's musical identity to the world like The
Stampeders. A quick look at Canada's music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms
The Stampeders were truly the country's international musical ambassadors.
Instead of trying to blend into any specific format, they developed their own
identity, which was both entertaining to watch in concert, and to listen to on
radio and records. The Stampeders also toured more extensively in Canada and
overseas than any other Canadian group of the same period.
Openers
Sticks'n Stones hit the stage at
8:00p.m. - They play a rollicking, up-tempo brand of rock n’ roll, doing covers
from Meatloaf to Mellencamp. They have
opened for Tom Cochrane, Trooper and Nazareth.
All shows
on the Pizza Pizza Free Concert Series Stage are free with your admission to
the 2010 SuperEX!

Drop by the 2010
Ottawa SuperEX Thursday, August 26th
to find out about the MRC Pontiac region. It’s located in the Western part of Quebec’s
Outaouais region. Its vast territory
includes eighteen municipalities spread over 4,178km and an
unorganized territory of 9,670km. Only
the municipalities have a permanent population (fewer than 15,000 residents),
concentrated mainly from east to west along the Ottawa River. Like several
Quebec regions, Pontiac experienced a demographic drop in the late 1990s, but
the population has been stable since 2001.
For more than 150,
the Pontiac economy depended mainly on forest products. The recent forestry
crisis, which reached its height in 2008, was the stimulant for economic
diversification.
Currently undergoing profound changes, Pontiac MRC has
undertaken a strategic process to determine socio-economic development niches.
This process is taking place in the context of the Pontiac region’s economic
diversification in the natural resources value-added processing and agri-food
sectors, and the tourism industry. The
region’s natural wealth and human capital are its primary assets.
Colonized by the English, Irish, Scots, Germans, Poles
and French, Pontiac is a true cultural mosaic. 57% of Pontiac residents are Anglophones, and
41% are Francophones. There are more than 10 religions represented, including
Catholics (70%) and Protestants (25%).
Pontiac has a very attractive architectural and
natural heritage. Growing numbers of vacationers from all over the world visit
the area and have wonderful memories of those visits. Our rivers (including the
imposing Ottawa), 4,000 lakes, varied and abundant wildlife and a built heritage
as diverse as our culture together form a lively, colourful and unforgettable
portrait of our area.
Come out and learn more about tourism, culture and
diversity of this beautiful area on Thursday,
August 26th.

Artist Anna Grilli, aka “Terra Tashi” hand crafts
small donkeys, cats and symbolic ornaments using donkey dung as the main
ingredient in her organic plant fertilizers.
These artistic
ornaments are functional flowerbox decorations, they not only look cute but
they are virtually odourless and decompose slowly over a period of a year or
so, fertilizing the soil for healthy plants and flowers.
They can be used for
outdoor gardens, bushes to indoor plants. They will make a huge difference to your garden and will help make your
gardening easier!
Terra Tashi worked
for months to develop a perfect dung-minerals texture combination. She spent a few years researching dung mixing
techniques in India and South East Asia. She also researched sculpting techniques and finally chose to handcraft
each piece she makes to represent a “one of a kind” product and promote her two
rare and endangered Baudet du Poitou donkeys, Rosalie and Pitoufu, who are fed
organic hay and carrots.
The making of these
ornaments requires mixing fresh donkey dung with water and consisted
proportions of clay, dolomitic limestone powder, kelp meal, and diatomaceous
earth. The process includes a drying
period of one to three weeks to complete the statues to become odourless and
cured. All additional minerals are
certified organic from Homestead Organics, in Berwick, Ontario.
These organic
artistic ornaments can be purchased in the RONA Pure Country Pavilion August 28th
and August 29th.

The RONA Pure Country Pavilion educates
SuperEX fairgoers about their agricultural roots through exhibits and animals.
The show ring
features the Canadian Raptor Conservancy
featuring live, free-flights demonstrations. As each bird is flying, the handler gives an
educational commentary about each species. This unique encounter with nature’s flying hunters might include: the
birds with the best night vision, able to spot its prey 20kms away; the only
species of hawk that hunts in a pack like wolves; the bird of prey that has the
most highly developed sense of smell in the world – even better than a
bloodhound; and more!
Motivational Response Training by Greg
Barrington. For centuries “Horse
Whispering” has been a generic name to describe techniques used in the training
of horses. His basic principals are
motivation, stimulus, response and reward. It is a beautiful sight to see Greg interact with a horse as they become
one.
Tom Redpath is a New Zealand trained sheep Shearer with over 30
years of experience. He is the most in
demand Shearer in Canada. His sheep
shearing is a sight to behold with his technique and running commentary, as he
has no equals. You will walk away from
Tom’s demonstration with a new respect for where your beautiful wool sweater
and warm socks come from.
The RCMP will be showcasing two Royal Canadian Mounted Police with
their famous horses, direct from Parliament Hill. The public will be able to ask questions,
touch the horses and take pictures. Showring demonstrations will be presented on Tuesday, August 24th and Thursday, August 26th.
4-H Competitions award cash prizes to the youth placing highest in each
category including beef, dairy, sheep and horse. The 4-H Program entails
opportunities, personal development, making friends and having fun while
helping young people ages ten to twenty-one learn self-confidence and new
skills.
Most
demonstrations have three shows daily, unless otherwise specified.
