Eighth Athens County Fair a Large Success in 1859
The Eighth Annual Faire of the Athens County Agricultural Society held in Athens drew far more visitors than prior years. Receipts more than doubled, with an estimated 1900 for 1958 and about 600 members. Stock shows and horse displays impressed, with sorghum gaining attention as a potential early commerce. Notable attendees included G. W. Barker and John Palmer, A. S. Bailey, and various Meigs and Harmar exhibitors. Floral Hall pleased, female equestrian displays were strong, and the overall fair reflected credit on the county and society. Citizens urged continued support for the 1859 fair and plans for 850.
