by Judy Wells Adaptability is the key to allowing small town fairs to continue. The Deloraine Agricultural Society has hosted a fair for over 125 years and has seen many changes in that time. “The Deloraine Agricultural Society was organized in 1889. The purpose
of this society was to bring to the farming public, by featuring annual competitions and events, a knowledge of quality in farm products and livestock, as well as new methods of production. The first official fair was held on the Agricultural Society’s grounds in 1889.� (from
Deloraine Scans A Century, 2880-1980). Some of the highlights from the 1907 fair included a bagpipe band, baseball tournament, a farmers’’ trot race, pony race and Indian pony race; livestock and poultry shows. The fair was greatly anticipated by farmers as
it was an opportunity to show their good livestock and poultry. Seed shows were held in the winter, and sometimes there were Seed and Poultry shows in December as well. For 20 years, from 19101930, the Ag. Society sponsored Boys and Girls School Fairs in the fall.
As well they sponsored a Junior Seed Club and a Junior Hog Club for several years. A standard half mile race track was laid out on the Ag. grounds by the Deloraine Turf Club in 1892 and the first races were held in 1893 with $1,000 in purses. see Deloraine Fair on page 2
