The Russell County Junior Farmers are celebrating their 75th anniversary with a dance on December 6, 2025, in Embrun.

“It’s Russell County’s anniversary, but we’re hoping to get former Junior Farmers from across Zone One [Eastern Ontario]”, says organizer Wyatt McWilliams of Navan. “We were such a tight knit group and did so many inter-county activities that everybody knew everybody – and now it will be fun to catch up and have a bit of a reunion.”

The dance will be held at the Camille Piche Hall in Embrun from 8 pm to midnight on Saturday, Dec. 6. Tickets are $10 each and can be obtained in advance by emailing [email protected] or purchased at the door. There will be a DJ, light refreshments, and door prizes. For more information go to Navandale Farm on Facebook.

All are invited to wear any Junior Farmers swag they may still have… and can fit into. Memorabilia and photos for display are also welcome – please contact [email protected] in advance.
