This year marks the 159th year of our Great Darke County Fair. What started out in 1853 at the Garst Museum, has grown into that which we know today. Through the years people have donated the land we now know as the Fairgrounds, money, services, time, labor - the list is almost endless. Enough people have always believed our fair could attain and retain the reputation of "the biggest  and best county fair." Only two years has there ever been no fair. One year was during a world war and the other year was due to a disease epidemic. That's a pretty good record - two cancellations out of 159 years. Along the way concerts have been added, paved midways, and - electricity! Think what it would have been like without it. No colorful lights at night to beckon passersby for miles - "Come see our Great Darke County Fair!" Thanks to Kissel Brothers for their unmatched contributions! See ya'll there!

Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next time. Ever Toodles!! MONA
