Fair History of Pontotoc County Fair Origin and Growth
The Pontotoc county fair began eight to ten years ago with early displays at East Central college and a race track on Main street. J E Henry donated canvas and animals for entertainment, while Mrs L R Hutchinson led the first demonstrations by girls and boys. A stock company later bought the site north of the city, built facilities, and a county free fair emerged, driven by cooperative plans and keen livestock competition.
