Fair Secrets, by Lexie Owen

This artist book was created with artist Lexie Owen in collaboration with the Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival. During the 2018 fair, exhibitors, visitors, and volunteers submitted a variety of secrets — from prized recipes, to family know-how, to personal sentiments. The practical, thoughtful, and sometimes humorous accounts reveal the storied labour that is involved in fields like agriculture, horticulture, or the domestic arts.
