The Dufferin Agricultural Society (DAS) is excited to announce a new partnership with ARK New Tech, the Kubota dealer in Morden and Manitou. This partnership includes a sponsored 36-month lease on a L3902 Kubota tractor with harrows, which was delivered to the Carman Fairgrounds on May 12.
In addition to the tractor, ARK New Tech will also be adding on a cash sponsorship for the next three years. They will be sponsoring the shuttle service so that anyone without a vehicle can have the opportunity to visit the fair, and they will be providing the use of two side-by-side to help transport people around the fairgrounds.
Naming rights for the two arenas are also a significant part of the partnership. ARK New Tech will have their name displayed prominently on the arenas, giving them exposure and helping them get its name out to the community.

One of the most exciting parts of this partnership is ARK New Tech’s willingness to accommodate the needs of the Dufferin Agricultural Society. This type of flexibility and willingness to work together is a testament to the strong partnership that has been established.
“This is just great,” said Bernie Townsend, President of the Dufferin Agricultural Society. “We’ve been working with KB Marketing, and they were able to secure this deal for us. So it’s amazing and a step in the right direction as we move towards making the DAS grounds more accessible year-round and increase opportunities for rentals and other events to be hosted on our fairgrounds.”
The new Kubota tractor will be seen in action during the Denim and Dust Rodeo Series and at the beloved Carman Country Fair, which is scheduled for July 13-15. This new partnership will surely enhance the overall experience of these events, with the shuttle service, side by sides, and newly sponsored equipment, bringing a fresh and dynamic energy to the fairgrounds.
“The DAS is grateful for the generous support and collaboration of ARK New Tech,” said Townsend, “and looks forward to a long and successful partnership dedicated to making the DAS grounds a hub for community events and a source of pride for the area.”
