Greetings from the GC Fair Board
Traveling from county to county throughout Ohio and visiting as many fairs as I can
— I find that there are lots of crossroads/
turns and sometimes I don’t know where the
road actually leads. There is one thing
for sure … the roads that lead to the
Greene County Fair have been traveled
many times over as our Greene County
Board of Directors come to the meetings and work on the Fairgrounds all
year long.
They are constantly searching for the Bullen
best ideas to give our fair attendees a
quality agricultural experience as well
as the one-a-year anticipated fair fun of food,
rides, games and more. The real excitement
comes during fair week July 31-Aug. 6, 2016,
when we see the results of our hard work in
the eyes those who come to the fair.
If you have never attended a livestock sale,
perhaps you make that one of your stops this
year. On Thursday and Friday night, the 4-H/
We’re proud to work with the #1 farm insurer* that has over 100 years of experience in agriculture. They
help us offer top of the line protection for your farm or ranch operation, with flexible coverages and
exceptional claims, underwriting and risk management services.
Contact your Pioneer sales professional and we’ll help you place the right products on your acres.

It’s great how farming brings
people together.
FFA youth sell their prized projects that they
have worked on all year. The pride that they
enter the show arena with is priceless. Some
of the buyers have been purchasing animals
for years such as Sheriff Gene Fischer
in care of the Greene County Youth
Fund and County Engineer Bob
Geyer to name a few — because they
know the value of helping kids.
Thank you to those advisors,
specie chairmen who head up the
committees, to our board members
who spend more hours than anyone
realizes putting together the fair, our
volunteers and to the staff who work all year
to get ready for the next fair. I really believe
that we all have “fair blood” running through
our veins because most of the year we eat,
sleep and think about the upcoming fair.
Please join us for our 177th Greene County Fair!

Greene County Royalty to be crowned
Greene County Fair
officials have 13 applicants to choose from
for this year’s 4-H royal
family.
Six young women vie
for the coveted queen
of the fair while five
vie to be princess. This
year there are no prince
candidates, however
there are two king candidates.
The annual awards
are usually given to two
girls and two boys in
4-H clubs around the
county: a prince and
princess ages 12-14 and
a king and queen age
15 and up. Queen and
king candidates have a
minimum of four years
of club work. Princess
and prince candidates
should have a minimum
of two years of junior
fair work.
All applicants are
given an initial interview, scored on poise,
personality and responsiveness to questioning. Then, applicants
don semi-formal wear
and, on stage Sunday
evening at the fair, are
asked two questions.
On-stage interviews are
scored on poise, per-
sonality, speaking ability and overall natural
appearance, according
to the contest.
Judges look for candidates with leadership
qualities and who can
represent 4-H parades,
community promotions
and banquets. Additionally, the royal youth
will attend the next
year’s crowning.
Applications are
scored on members’
project record, junior
fair activities and
community activities.
Additionally, applicants write a narrative
describing how junior
fair has impacted their
future plans — an
important part of their
lives. Officials said
these exercises teach
life skills and time management.
After interviews,
the contestants will
go to the contest at
5:30 p.m. that same
evening at the Greene
County Fairgrounds in
the Assembly Building.
Winners will appear
in the Grandstand
following the competition, before the calf
scramble.

Greene County Fair celebrates 177 years
By Joan Baxter
Soon it will be time to
attend the oldest, continuously running county fair
west of the Allegheny
Mountains. No other
county fair is older than
ours.
It all began in June
1833 when the Greene
County Commissioners
issued the following
decree: “Notice be given
in the Xenia Territory
this week that there will
be a meeting held at the
Court House in Xenia on
the last Friday in June
for the purpose of organizing an Agricultural
Society, to be entitled
the Greene County Agricultural Society.”
That first fair, held on
the grounds of the Greene
County Court House, was
described as “a place for
social relaxation where
neighbors, who rarely saw
their neighbors, could
gossip.”
Not seeing one’s neighbors might have been the
case often because at that
time, most folks were living on farms. Some were
in cities, but the majority had to travel some
distance to visit with
neighbors. It was hoped
that this fair would bring
people from all over the
county together for a day
of entertainment.
The second year, the
commissioners allotted
$30 to the agricultural
association to hold a fair.
It wasn’t long before the
court house lawn was not
adequate, so seven acres
of land were leased on
Columbus Pike east of
Xenia. The property was
deeded to the agricultural
society in 1852. When
the Civil War broke out,
a place to train soldiers
was necessary, so what
was then the current fairgrounds, located on present day Fair Street, was
utilized as the training
ground.
By 1867, the fair had
grown and was bringing guests from quite a
distance. Once again,
the site was too small for
the type of fair desired,
so another location was
sought. A great deal of
discussion took place
in trying to determine
the best location. The
Jamestown folks felt that
the fair should be located
in the Jamestown-Xenia
Pike (present U.S. Route
35), but the Xenia folks
were opting for another
location on the north side
of town. That year, a little
more than 36 acres was
purchased from Richard
Galloway on what is now
Fairground Road. James-
town began holding a fair
of its own.
The Greene County
Agricultural Society
offered shares in capital
stock for the new venture.
In spite of the shares,
which had been sold to
maintain the property, the
society was lacking funds.
The property was sold to
Eli Millen at a Sheriff ’s
sale. Millen, being interested in the welfare of the
entire community, leased
the property back to the
agricultural society for a
nominal fee.
In 1923, the Millen
heirs deeded the land to
the agricultural society.
Additional properties
have been purchased over
the years, bringing the
fairground to its present
size. When the major
transportation was horse
and buggy, and even
in the early days of the
automobile, the fair was
a day-long event for most
families. The fair was the
social event for the summer, so folks dressed in
their finest to attend.
Around 1910, there was
a young man who entered
a contest to be a participant at the Ohio State
Fair, his delight in winning turned to something
else when he found the
prize was an assignment
with a bucket, shovel and
broom to keep the livestock judging area neat
and tidy.
The 1915, fair boasted
a record breaking attendance of 20,000 people on
opening day. The fair continued to grow, and the
need for more buildings
was apparent. Between
1923 and 1939, several
buildings were constructed including the grandstand, cattle barn, horse
barn and 4-H building.
Permanent lighting for
evening events was made
possible in 1934, and a
WPA project provided city
water to the grounds.
World War II brought
hardships with many of
the county’s young men
being called to serve
their country. In 1943,
the question arose as to
whether the fair should be
discontinued for the duration of the war, but the
decision was made to go
forward as always.
In 1945, the theme was
“Fight with Food and
Bonds.” That year the
admission was raised from
40 to 50 cents. For many
years, the fair ran for
three days, but due to continued interest and support, it has been extended
to the present schedule.
The fair had been held
at various times between
August and October until
the 1920s, when a definite time was set up for
each fair in Ohio so that
adjoining counties did not
hold their fair the same
week. The State Board of
Agriculture is responsible
for enforcing this rule,
and dates may be changed
only with the consent of
that board.
A tornado in 2000
changed the appearance of
the fairground. New buildings were constructed,
and a great many improvements to the grounds
were achieved. The
Greene County Fair is an
integral part of the county
for a whole week.
