In view of this tact the Orono Fair celebrated its centennary in 1952 and this 1960 Fair should be the one hundred and eightli Pair te be heid in this vicin- ity. We are aware however that In the,,beginning, and for some f ew years the annuai Pair alternated between Orono and Newcastle, however the. latter village did net have a field availabie for too long se the Pair very shortly became settied in Orono permanentiy. In the year 1931 the Bowman- ville and Darlington- Agricultural Society merged with the Clarke se- ciety and fromn that year forward the continuing Society became known as the Durha.m Central Ag- ficulturaI Society andthe Fair con- tinued to lie heid In Orono. Over the years the fair has been held regularly in the month o! Sep- tember, and prizes have been of- fered for and competed for In every branci o! agriculturai endeavour prevailing in Durham Ceunty This included varlous breeds o! herses, cattie, sheep, swine and poultry as weil as fruits, vegetables grains, flowers etc. and iast but not least the domestic arts of needle- craft, cooking, baking, pickiing, and se forth.,Wien the school fairs witil vere once quite popular, be- came too di!! icult te carry on, this Soicety carTied on the schools work ln our Junior l)epartment and today we are prouci of the support and wonderful displays we have from the public schools in West Durham. 0f, course, over the y'ears, there have been changes due to changlng conditions.

In fact our pro- gramme for fair day lias become too heavy for a one day show and this ycar We are expanding on the programme started last year by having part o! the show put for- ward te Friday afternoon. We feel that possibiy the most wortliwhiie and rewarding feature of the fair is the sponsoring Qf!-4-H Clubs work and this year we are happy to have five sucli clubs compieting their seasons work at our Fair. Old timers will recali that there lias also been large additions to the grounds, and the race track is nowf one of the best in Eastern Ontari. There will be wonderful races both days of the fair.
