WOODSTOCK - The parent company of Canada's Outdoor Farm Show has bought some more farmland adjacent to the show site.
Glacier Media has purchased ninety acres of land directly north of the farm show on Oxford County Road #34.
President and CEO of Glacier Media Jon Kennedy says for the last decade, thirty acres of this land has been used as one of the main parking lots during the show.
"This land purchase is an investment in Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, so that we can provide the best experience to show-goers,” says Jon Kennedy, President and CEO, Glacier Media. “It gives us the security we need to continue to bring worldwide farming innovation to Oxford County."
Canada's Outdoor Farm Show has been in Woodstock for over 20 years. It has huge economic benefits for Woodstock Oxford County. Every year the show brings in an estimated $1.3 million dollars to the local economy through hotels, hospitality, inputs and landscaping to exhibits, and good and services purchased for show set up. Farmers who attend the show represent $2.9 billion in purchasing power.
President of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show Doug Warner says this purchase will help enhance the overall farm show experience.
"This purchase will without a doubt improve our parking options for exhibitors and farmers attending the show. Plus, our team looks forward exploring other opportunities for the property."
As when the previous owners, the Butt family, owned the land, it will be maintained as a working farm throughout the year and used for parking for the three days of the show. Ruth Butt is a long-time supporter of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, and is pleased to have come to this arrangement.
