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.

Athens County Fair drew crowds from several counties

The Marietta Intelligencer notes the Athens county fair ran Thursday and Friday with strong turnout. Over fifty people from Amesville attended, and Mr Andrews reports large numbers by rail. More than 200 citizens from Meigs and delegates from Washington Morgan Hocking Vinton counties visited and expressed satisfaction.
