Saline Fair Through the Years Grows with Community Ties
The Saline Community Fair captures the town’s social, business, and agricultural life as merchants prep stock, exhibitors showcase produce, and youngsters drive efforts. Begun in 1944 as a two day FFA fair, it expanded to a three day event with rodeo and midway, attracting families and local groups each year.

Saline Fair set to move sites and expand for 1948 show
The Saline Community Fair prompts plans to relocate from the high school grounds to the new high school site next year. The event, Sept 10 to 13, promises bigger crowds with more livestock, booths, and attractions led by the Miss Saline contest and a broadened program including a keyhole horse race and a steer auction. Local leaders pledge continued community participation and increased tickets sales to meet demand.
