The number of community-focused residents interested in starting this enterprise grew quickly as word of the plan leaked out. As the number who showed up for meetings grew, it became obvious that the railroad station could no longer serve as the meeting spot, and the group began to meet at the fire hall. The drive of these ambitious men helped formulate the Kent and Sussex County Fair which was incorporated in January 1920. Today, the Kent and Sussex County Fair is now known as the Delaware State Fair and boasts attendance of over 307,000. As it exists today, the nearly 300 acre fairground encompasses several businesses including The Centre Ice Rink and the Harrington Raceway and Casino. Despite the awesome trend of bringing dynamic entertainers and a thrilling carnival, the Fair maintains its roots in agriculture. And every year, the Fair continues its tradition of being Bigger and Better Than Ever.]]> Tue, 9 Mar 2010 08:54:57 CST ev49d381ad6684c Events In America http://www.eventsinamerica.com/events/north_dakota_state_fair/ev48f65689190c8/ The North Dakota State Fair celebrates the passion Fairgoers have for North Dakotas great Fair and all the traditions they look forward to each year, including food, fun, free entertainment, competition, livestock and people watching.

In 1854, the society was chartered. After Clearfield and neighboring Curwensville held a contest to determine who would host the Fair, plans materialized in October of 1860. Clearfield won the contest by raising more subscription money. Clearfield has been the site ever since, except in 1895 and 1896, when Grampian was used so that a track would be available for harness racing. In 1870, the Clearfield Driving Park became the permanent fair grounds. In the early 1900s the Fair was held irregularly however, 1925 had erected two permanent buildings, the grandstand and the exposition hall.

In 1853 the fair site was moved to Delavan but returned to Elkhorn in 1854. In 1855, the first purchase of land, from Colonel Edward Elderkin, was made consisting of six acres within the Village of Elkhorn limits. The cost was $100.00 an acre with 10% interest, a high price for the time. The city of Elkhorn donated $300.00 to fence the land, erect pens and sheds and to dig wells. The fair site has remained in Elkhorn since 1855 on this same location. Today, the acreage owned by the Association is approximately 99 acres. The land and buildings are now valued in excess of one million dollars. During its existence the Fair has received the support of the entire community. This support is shown by the gradual increase in its receipts. The increase in interest taken in the Fair has been proportional to the increase in receipts, and the success with which the Fair has been due not only to the solid foundation upon which it was laid, but also the united support all members, regardless of their social position, political views, or creed.

The Delaware State Fair continues to be one of the longest running events, celebrating over 88 years of tradition. The Delaware State Fair, as it is known today, began as an idea quietly conceived around a potbelly stove in the Harrington railroad station in 1919. The number of community-focused residents interested in starting this enterprise grew quickly as word of the plan leaked out. As the number who showed up for meetings grew, it became obvious that the railroad station could no longer serve as the meeting spot, and the group began to meet at the fire hall. The drive of these ambitious men helped formulate the Kent and Sussex County Fair which was incorporated in January 1920. The original purpose of the corporation was to have or manage a fair or exposition for the purpose of promoting and encouraging Agriculture and of giving pleasures and diversions to the inhabitants of rural communities within the State of Delaware.]]> Tue, 9 Mar 2010 08:55:02 CST ev4ac66da4988bb Events In America http://www.eventsinamerica.com/events/north_dakota_state_fair_2010/ev4ac3b078c8627/ The North Dakota State Fair attracts nearly 240,000 attendees and features ten stages of free entertainment, time-honored traditions of 4-H and FFA entries, three nights of rodeo, auto events, big name grandstand entertainment, carnival rides, over 46,000 competitive exhibits, 600 commercial vendors, community performances, and special contests.

After over 40 years, it has come a very long way from that first modest event held on the grounds of Perryville Grange in Wakefield in 1967. It began as a way to emphasize the importance of agriculture in our daily lives and to recreate the long time tradition of the county fair which was an important part of our heritage. The idea for the Fair originated in the Washington County Pomona Grange which encompassed all the Subordinate or local Granges in the County. The Fair is owned and operated by the Washington County Pomona Grange. The Grange, Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is a National Organization with headquarters in Washington, DC. It is a Non-Profit fraternal organization with members in 38 states across the Nation. Organized December 4, 1867, it is the oldest Farm Family Fraternity in the Country with an enviable record of community service and good citizenship as cornerstones of its long history.]]> Tue, 9 Mar 2010 08:55:03 CST ev4aca438674024 Events In America http://www.eventsinamerica.com/events/tillamook_county_fair/ev4af48ba43dccb/ The Tillamook County Fair is said by many to be one of the best County Fairs in the state, if not the nation because it is so unique and offers so much for fairgoers to enjoy for free once they have paid their admission to enter the fair.
