PRESIDENT's
MESSAGE
On behalf of The Neshoba County Fair’s
Board of Directors of The Neshoba County
Fair Association, I welcome you to the
125th Neshoba County Fair, Mississippi’s
Giant Houseparty. The Fair is the largest
and oldest campground fair in America. It’s
the cabin atmosphere that brings people
back for a week of fun and fellowship.
Mississippi is known as “The Hospitality
State” and there are few better places to find
such welcome and generosity in late July
than at The Neshoba County Fair. The fair
will have great entertainment and activities
for the young and old. Visit the hospitality
booth in the Exhibit Hall for a cool drink
and history of the Neshoba County Fair.
over
on the c
The 2014 Neshoba County Fair Program
cover displays the heart of The Neshoba
County Fair, the Founders Square Pavilion.
Originally constructed in 1894, five
years after the Fair was born, the present
building replaced the original structure
in 1914, making it 100 years old on this,
the 125th anniversary of the Neshoba
County Fair. The current building was
completely restructured in 2003 with no
cosmetic changes, but made more Fair
patron friendly and structurally sound. The
wooden benches are original to the 1914
structure, seating thousands in the heat and
under the stars of our Mississippi days and
nights.
We hope you have an enjoyable week or visit
and if there is anything we can do to make
your time with us more enjoyable, please let
us know. Have a safe and happy Fair and
learn more about this grand tradition at
www.neshobacountyfair.org.
Gilbert Donald,
President
The Neshoba
County Fair
Association, Inc.
The pavilion is the icon of the Mississippi
political scene. It continues to be the
premier venue for countless elected
officials and candidates to stump their
pleas for public office, from the United
States President down to county constables.
Beauty pageants, cake walks, late night
sings, bands of all genres…If only the
building could talk, what stories it could tell
and memories it would rekindle.
FOR EMERGENCY AND
SECURITY assistance
during the fair, call
the Fair Dispatch at
601.656.0386
Mission Statement

FACTS ABOUT THE FAIR
FORERUNNER OF THE FAIR: After a group of local farmers attended the “Patron’s
Union” in Lake, Mississippi, where farm produce and animals were shown, they arranged
a picnic in the Coldwater Community. There they showed farm animals, farm produce and
women’s handiwork.
PURPOSE: To encourage farmers to raise better crops and farm animals.
OFFICIALLY ORGANIZED: After two successful picnics, the fair was organized in 1891
when officers and a board of directors were elected.
NAME OF FAIR: The fair was originally called “Stock and Agricultural Fair”
STOCK IN FAIR: Preferred stock in the fair was sold as early as 1892. This stock was
“called in” in 1936 and common stock was issued.
PREMIUMS: 1894 records show that premiums amounting to $200.00 were offered for
best farm and garden display, best mule and best trotting horse.
RACING: Harness and Running horse races have been held since 1894. The red clay, ½
mile oval currently in use is 100 years old, having been constructed in 1914. For 85 plus
years, it was Mississippi’s only licensed horse racing track.
GIANT OAKS: On Founders Square planted in 1898 and now being replaced.
GROUNDS LIGHTED: Originally “lights” consisted of pine knot torch lights atop 19-foot
poles, which had a shelf covered with red clay to prevent the wood from burning. This
method of lighting was replaced by a dynamo for lighting purposes, and by electricity in
1938 when electric power came to the rural area.
BATHROOM FACILITIES: Since no waterworks existed, bathroom facilities were the most
primitive, until 1938 when electricity arrived and wells could be built.
POLITICS: All state, district and local candidates or as elected officials have spoken from
the pavilion since 1896. Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan spoke in 1980, John Glenn
in 1983 and Michael Dukakis in 1988.
REGISTERED TRADEMARKS: “Neshoba County Fair Association, Inc.”, “Mississippi’s
Giant Houseparty” and “The Neshoba County Fair, Mississippi’s Giant Houseparty”
registered in 1983.
CABINS: There are 600 individually owned cabins on the grounds. Also space for 500 plus
RV units.
PAVILION ON FOUNDERS SQUARE: Built in 1914 with only minor repair work having
been done since construction. Completely restructured in 2003 with no cosmetic changes.
Exhibit Hall: While different buildings were built and utilized from the days of the first
Fair, the current structure was built in 1924 and has undergone repairs, improvements and
modification since, the most current being a re-roofing in 2013.
WASTEWATER / SEWAGE SYSTEM: The system is comprised of 2 lagoons located west
of Highway 21. Pumping stations located inside the residential areas transfer all wastewater
to the lagoons. This system is privately owned by the Fair Association and maintained and
monitored by licensed personnel.
