Abbotsford Agrifair has announced the hiring of Graham Vanstone as the new fair manager.
Agrifair president Bob Street said that with Vanstone’s 20 years of experience in the event industry, he brings a wealth of knowledge and natural abilities to the position.
Throughout his career, Vanstone has worked for, and with, many of the Fraser Valley’s premier events and facilities. He is not new to Agrifair either, having served in the past on the board and as a contractor and volunteer.
