164th Middleville Agricultural Fair
164th Middleville Agricultural Fair, September 19th 2015
The Middleville Agricultural Society was formed in 1851 to help farmers improve their farming practices. It ordered pure and reliable seeds in bulk for its members and imported purebred rams to boost the quality of local sheep and wool. In 1883 the Society purchased the fairground property and built the large Exhibition Hall. In 1902 the Temperance Society added a meeting hall now used as a dining hall.
Since 1851 in September the Middleville Agricultural Society have organized the Middleville Fair as a fall celebration of rural life.
Agriculture is the main focus of the Fair with animal flower fruit and vegetable exhibits and competitions. Crafts baking and preserving and heritage displays of antique machinery and household items as well as old fashioned games and races for the children fill out the day. 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Quilt draw at 4:30 p.m. at the fairgrounds.
