Greetings, website visitors! My name is Alex Wheatcroft, and I am the website’s creator and author. This site was created for my University of the Fraser Valley’s Local History for the Web class, which I am now enrolled in as a History student and aspiring secondary school social studies teacher.
I was born and raised in Cloverdale, so I know how important the Cloverdale rodeo is to the community. My experiences as a Cloverdale resident inspired me to dig further and look at the Fall Fair that I discuss on this website. It’s given me a unique perspective on my community’s beginnings, and I’m happy I get to share what I’ve learned with others who share my enthusiasm for local history.
