Some Arnprior residents upset after town's name dropped from title of annual festival ottnews ottawa
"It stung. I mean we lost our identity with the fair when you use 'valley,'" explained county Coun. Dan Lynch.
County Coun. Dan Lynch says he and other council members were hurt by the fact the word Arnprior was no longer part of the festival's name. "Like any other business, you apply for everything you can and you hope you get something," she said, adding the society was thankful for the in-kind funding."Change is tough. Some people can't accept change and I understand that totally," she said.
Stacy Howard is a member of the Arnprior Agricultural Society. She says change can be difficult, but the organization decided to rebrand and that's that. "It should still be the Arnprior Fair whether it's relocated or not. It doesn't give you an address it just gives you the history of the thing."
