History of the Successful Fair In Mahaska County
Mahaska County's fair legacy began in 1852 in Oskaloosa with a rough stock show. Organizers formed the Mahaska County Agricultural Society in March 1852, launching a two day event and later expanding to a twenty acre tract. By 1856 state law fairs arrived. the local fair grew, then declined, and evolved into the Fall Festival and Home Coming by 1910, eventually morphing into the Southern Iowa Fair and Exposition with broad regional support and over thirty thousand dollars in premiums.
