History
On April 28, 1950, Edna Groff wrote Sadie Greenleaf a letter
suggesting the Farm Women begin a local community fair.
The parade has always been a favorite of many at the fair. Last
year, Dean Wert was the grand marshal of the parade. Click

years, Jeff Minnich, of Solanco Video, stepped down as chairman
of the parade. In 2006, Rick Prettyman became the parade chairman.
Each year, the eighth graders at Swift and Smith Middle Schools
compete to design the cover for the fair book. Click
