Lake County Agricultural Society, Inc. Presents Don't Lake Miss a Minute County of This Year's Fair! Fair Premium Book 2019
july 23-28, 2019 1301 Mentor Avenue Painesville Twp., Ohio
1 The History of The Lake County Fair By Jack Daniels
The Lake County Agricultural Society, Inc. was established in 1840. This is the same year that the Ohio Legislature allowed the northern portion of Geauga County to divide and form the smallest county in Ohio-Lake County. Although the activities of our society date back to the origins of the Geauga County Fair because members of our area participated in that Fair, the fi rst County Fair of the new Lake County was held in 1852. The location of the Fairgrounds was on Bank Street east of the Painesville Red Cross Building in the present site of the Cummings allotment. Members were given eight tickets to the Fair for one dollar. This also entitled them to free admission for their horses and carriages. No pool or betting was allowed, and the last day of the Fair was reserved for the sale or exchange of livestock. In 1880 a premium was offered to the person bringing the most dog scalps but by 1885 the dog population was apparently reduced, and the premium was offered for woodchuck scalps instead. There were plowing contests, displays of stoves, organs, homemade horseshoes, home tanned hides and homemade perfumes. In 1894 the Fair Board asked the County Commissioners for fi nancial assistance. The Commissioners readily recognized the need, but the County Prosecutor ruled that the money could not be expended for this purpose. They had no choice but to submit a bond issue for Fair activities to the electorate. The Fair was on hard times for it was still in the depression year of 1894, and the issued failed. The Lake County Agricultural Society, Inc. disbanded at that time and reorganized in 1911 with greater fi nancial support. That same year they purchased property from various families at the present site and the fi rst new Fair was held in 1912. The “Log Cabin” was built in 1915 with materials donated to the Fair Board by descendants of the original settlers of the county. When the gates were opened on the fi rst County Fair to be held in eighteen years, more than 28,000 people scattered themselves around the sixty-fi ve acres comprising the new Fairgrounds. The realization slowly dawned that Lake County was one of the leaders in the United States in the development of blooded livestock of all varieties. Lake County, in 1912, was famed as the home of numerous steamship companies and the paradise of Cleveland industrialist “gentlemen farmers” who raised the most fancy grades of blooded livestock. The fi rst new Fair exhibited more than half a million dollars worth of fancy cattle, thoroughbred horses, choicest hogs, best bred sheep and other kinds of fi ne blooded animals housed in the County. A Grandstand was constructed in 1913 but was destroyed by fi re in 1964 and was subsequently rebuilt. The Lake County Fair still enjoys the support of local industry and agriculture as well as that of the community at large. There are old buildings as well as new buildings refl ecting the diverse nature of modern Lake County. There are buildings and activities that blend our combination of industry and agriculture to the best interests of both endeavors and, certainly, the best interests of Lake County, Ohio.
Welcome to the Lake County Fair.

6 A Note From The President I would like to thank all Fair Board members, employees, Ladies Auxiliary and all the volunteers for a great 2018 fair and a great year. Enough can’t be said for all the hours they put in to putting on our fair and run the fairgrounds throughout the year. Thanks again. Some highlights over the past year were the continuing of our roof up grades. We were able to reroof two more buildings this past year; the live- stock auction pavilion and the draft horse barn #18. We were also able to make some electrical upgrades on the fairgrounds.
We would also like to congratulate our Lake County Fair Queen Mackenzie Hupp for her fi ne job representing Lake County at the 2019 OFMA Ohio Fairs Queen competition. Out of all the Ohio counties represented at the OFMA con- ference, Mackenzie made it to the semifi nals cut of 16. Thanks again Mackenzie. Also, congratulations go out to Joe Slansky for receiving the ODA Director’s Award and our Fair Board on the many communication awards that they received at the 2019 OFMA convention.
I would also like to thank our County Commissioners and the Ohio State Univer- sity Extension for their continued help and support.

Where did the last year go? It seems time goes faster each year. The fair will be here before we know it. 2018 was a very busy year for the Ladies Auxiliary. Some of our projects included a new ATM machine to replace our original one, new countertops for the front restroom, new lights used around the grounds and a sound system. We hosted the Fair Queen luncheon in July where Anna Barthol crowned Mackenzie Hupp our new Queen. Thank you Anna for a wonderful job. Mackenzie is also doing an awesome job representing our fair. Our work during the fair included working the Grandstand, providing a Hospitality Tent on the midway and providing dinners for our Directors and guests. During the holiday we sponsored a family through Forbes House and donated to Clothe-A-Child and St. Gabriel’s Food Pantry. We have several new projects set for 2019 and our very excited to accomplish each one. It is such a joy and pleasure working with this group of ladies they give 100% in everything they do. The support from the community, directors, friends and family is always greatly appreciated, so come and join us at the fair we look forward to seeing you.
