| Going back to the beginning, the heart of the Ottawa Valley Farm Show remains the Seed Show, part of Hall of Fame Exhibit mounted by the Farm Show’s sponsor, the Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association, on the Concourse level of the Civic Centre at Landowne Park.
Every year, qualified judges come in ahead of opening day to assess the various crop and seed entries and determine the prize winners. Those entries then go on display in the Hall of Fame, along with trophies that are awarded at a special ceremony. This year for the first time, the awards ceremony took place on the Concourse on Thurdsay, the last day of the Farm Show, following the annual Prestigious Pedigreed Seed Sale for CHEO. In the past, award presentations occurred at an evening banquet. The photos in this section are linked to high resolution images that can be viewed or downloaded clicking the picture.
