50th Stratford Fall Fair Ambassador

Marshall MacCannell

Bio

Hello, my name is Marshall MacCannell your 2024/25 Stratford Fall Fair Ambassador.  I’m 23 years old, born and raised in Listowel Ontario, where I currently live.

A little about myself, I enjoy traveling and seeing all parts of the world near and far.  I’m a big coutnry music fan going to multiple concerts and festivals every year.  But nothing beats a good laugh with my friends at game night.

At my day job, I work in sales helping contractors and farmers order/purchase lumber and building materials for upcoming projects.

My real passion is wood working.  In my free time I own and operate a small business, “MacCannell’s Woodshop”, out of my shop at home making custom furniture for my clients.

I also enjoy giving back to my community.  I help run and coach an open gym in my hometown for basketball, which is a sport I truly love.  In addition to that I’m excited for my year ahead getting to volunteer at numerous events as your Ambassador and in the future after I pass on the title.
