Y One of the finest annual events in Washing- ton County, the Barlow Fair, observed its 100th birthday in 1971. Started as an agricul- tural improvement program, it was organized as the Agricultural and Mechanical Associa- tion of Barlow by about fifteen interested citi- zens who elected William Thompson, presi- dent. The purpose of the Barlow Fair was to promote the best interests of agriculture and mechanical arts by disseminating useful information on these subjects, securing funds and distributing them in accordance with the promises of the act for encouraging agricul- ture. During the early years of the Fair, farm families would plan far in advance for the big day when they would pack their lunch baskets and make the trip by team and surrey or wagon, and even on horseback. It was the custom to have a big picnic dinner at noon. Today in the Junior Fair, exhibits are entered by 4-H Clubs, F.F.A. , F.H.A. , Juvenile Grange, Scout troops and many oth- ers. Adult groups exhibits include sewing, needlework, baked goods, canned goods, fruits and vegetables, grains, farm equip- ment, and farm animals of every kind . Janette McDonald x Meet your friends at the fair! ..- Dorothy Greenlees Lisa Stevens IT NEVER RAINS ON THE BARLOW FAIR One highlight of the fair takes place when farmers are given an opportunity to demon- strate the power of their horses in a pulling contest. When the fair opens in September, it will be at the same fair grounds at Barlow that were used for the first exhibition. Perhaps the rnost outstanding thing that has made the Barlow Fair such a memorable occasion for the past century is the homecom- ing event it has become for families and friends in this area. The saying, lt never rains on the Barlow Fair has held for over 100 years with but few exceptions. Carnival ume!
