The Greene County Fair Board has worked hard in producing one of the most exciting fairs I have been around to witness. This year, we are having two concerts. Please remember to visit our sponsors and thank them for their support. Without them our Fair would not be as successful and entertainment would not be to the caliber we have planned. I would like to thank my fellow board members for their hard work and dedication to the youth of Greene County and the Fair. The board started planning the 2015 Fair in August of last year after the 2014 Fair was over. Every Director spends many hours planning and working on the Fair every year with little compensation. So, we do this for the love of the fair. Lastly I would like to thank our employees and volunteers for their dedication to the Fair. Without them, we would not have a Fair. — President Dan Bullen Greene County Fair ticket prices 2015 Membership Ticket.................................... $25 Last day to purchase 2015 membership is Saturday, Aug. 1 Daily Gate Admission .......................................... $6 Children 9 and under are admitted free with a paying adult.

GREENE COUNTY FAIR Thursday, July 30, 2015 5 Greene County Royalty to be crowned Greene County Fair officials have 16 applicants to choose from for this year’s 4-H royal family. Four young women vie for the coveted queen of the fair while 10 compete to be princess. This year there are no king candidates. In addition there are two prince candidates. The annual awards are usually given to two girls and two boys in 4-H clubs around the county: a prince and princess ages 12-14 and a king and queen age 15 and up. Queen and king candidates have a minimum of four years of club work. Princess and prince candidates should have a minimum of two years of junior fair work. All applicants are given an initial interview, scored on poise, personality and responsiveness to questioning. Then, applicants don semi-formal wear and, on stage Sunday evening at the fair, are asked two questions. On-stage interviews are scored on poise, personality, speaking ability and overall natural appearance, according to the contest. Judges look for candidates with leadership qualities and who can represent 4-H parades, community promotions and banquets. Additionally, the royal youth will attend the next year’s crowning. Applications are scored on members’ project record, junior fair activities and community activities. Additionally, applicants write a narrative describing how junior fair has impacted their future plans — an important part of their lives.

This year isn’t a normal year. Yes, thanks to a statewide ban on all live bird exhibitions announced by the Ohio Department of Agriculture in early June, the poultry hall will be much quieter than normal come fair time. The move was made in a preventative effort to stop the spread of the avian flu from states like Iowa and Minnesota, where the disease has hit hardest in recent months, forcing poultry owners to slaughter thousands of birds in hopes of quelling the disease. No cases of the disease have been reported in Ohio, and the ban was designed to maintain that status. So this year at the Greene County Fair, poultry cages will be replaced by posters and books, in an effort to still allow those who have raised birds to “show” their efforts. While the birds won’t physically be at the fairgrounds, representations of those animals will be. Exhibitors will show posters with a picture of themselves with their bird, as well as a written statement about their project and will be interviewed by a judge as a portion of their final scores. “This year you’re going to have to have knowledge behind it, not just bringing in the best bird,” Mark Everman, director of the poultry barn for the Greene County Agricultural Society, said when the alternative was announced. “It’s more of what you know about poultry as a whole.” Posters (40 percent), skill-a-thons (30 percent) and book checks (30 percent) will make up scores that will determine champion exhibitor. Project sales will continue at the scheduled times, but with the exhibitor’s poster taking the place the bird normally would in the ring. The bird ban includes county and independent fairs, the Ohio State Fair and all other gatherings of birds for show or for sale, including auctions and swap meets. The bird flu has forced other poultry-producing states such as Iowa and Minnesota to kill millions of birds to prevent the spread of the disease. According to United States Department of Agriculture data, more than 44 million birds have been affected by the disease nationwide. According to the ODA, While Greene County Fair attendees won’t witness scenes like this one from the 2014 fair, local youth will still be able to show and sell their birds this year, but with a twist on the normal procedures. Nathan Pilling | Greene County News Ohio is the second largest egg producer in the country and home to 28 million laying chickens, 12 million broilers, 8.5 million pullets and 2 million turkeys. Ohio’s egg, chicken and turkey farms are responsible for more than 14,600 jobs and contribute $2.3 billion to the state’s economy. Ohio’s cancellation of bird shows followed other states which have made similar moves for the 2015 fair season, including Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Michigan.

Dustin Lynch, who already has a goldcertified hit, another top 25 single and is part of Bryan’s 2015 nationwide tour, will bring his combination of traditional influences and edgy intensity to the grandstand Tuesday, Aug. 4 with special guest Waterloo Revival. Tickets are $25. Rolling Stone Country said Lynch was among, “The best things we saw at CMA Music Fest 2014,” but he won’t be the only thing fair attendees can see this year. There’s plenty of musical options the entire week. “(This) is one of our better lineups,” said entertainment co-chair Amy Test. “Cole Swindell last year was a magnificent performance, we’re hoping we can continue on and entertain more than a certain age group. I think that we’re going to do real well.” The smooth Motown sounds of Touch, which was a top three finalist on NBC’s “The Winner Is” kicks off the action 8 p.m Sunday, Aug. 2. The band has shared the stage with Eddie Money, The Temptations, The Spinners, Al Green and Ray Charles, and has been known to bring fans to their feet with energetic dance performances and engaging personalities. Chase Bryant, Josh Dorr and Haley Georgia take the stage 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 3. Bryant’s grandfather played piano in Roy Orbison’s first two bands and, later for Waylon Jennings. His uncles co-founded the group Ricochet, which had several hits in the 1990s. Dorr, reared on 1990s country music, brings rock-edged brand of country while Georgia is an up-and-coming country singer/songwriter. American Made, a Dayton-based band, brings its eclectic mix of 70s, 80s, country, rock and southern rock to the stage 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5. Greene County’s own Joe Mullins and Courtesy photos Dustin Lynch (above) and Touch (right) will be performing at the fair. See the complete entertainment schedule on page 21. The Radio Ramblers headline the action 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6, unleashing their energetic mix of quality bluegrass and gospel music that has them in demand for festivals nationally.

Bovine Hobo closes out the music 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8. Appearing frequently at Willie’s Sports Bar in Xenia, the band blends country, southern rock and blues.

No other county fair is older than ours. It all began in June of 1833 when the Greene County Commissioners issued the following decree: “Notice be given in the Xenia Territory this week that there will be a meeting held at the Court House in Xenia on the last Friday in June for the purpose of organizing an Agricultural Society, to be entitled the Greene County Agricultural Society.” That first fair, held on the grounds of the Greene County Court House, was described as “a place for social relaxation where neighbors, who rarely saw their neighbors, could gossip. Horse flesh and the products of the field were the primary attractions at that time.” Not seeing one’s neighbors might have been the case often because at that time, most folks were living on farms. Some were in cities, but the majority had to travel some distance to visit with neighbors. It was hoped that this fair would bring people from all over the county together for a day of entertain- “Notice be given in the Xenia Territory this week that there will be a meeting held at the Court House in Xenia on the last Friday in June for the purpose of organizing an Agricultural Society, to be entitled the Greene County Agricultural Society.” — Decree from county commissioners, June 1833 ment. The second year, the commissioners allotted $30 to the Agricultural Association to hold a fair. It wasn’t long before the court house lawn was not adequate so seven acres of land were leased on the Columbus Pike east of Xenia. The property was deeded to the Agricultural Society in 1852. When the Civil War broke out, a place to train soldiers was necessary, so the fair- ground, located on present day Fair Street, was utilized as the training ground. By 1867, the fair had grown and was bringing guests from quite a distance. Once again, the site was too small for the type of fair desired, so another location was sought. A great deal of discussion took place in trying to determine the best location. The Jamestown folks felt that the fair should be located in the Jamestown-Xenia Pike (present US 35), but the Xenia folks were opting for another location on the north side of town. That year, a little more than 36 acres was purchased from Richard Galloway on what is now Fairground Road. Jamestown began holding a fair of its own. The Greene County Agricultural Society offered shares in capital stock for the new venture. Six hundred shares at $25 each were offered for sale. In spite of the shares which had been sold to maintain the property, the society was lacking funds. The property was sold to Eli Millen at a Sheriff ’s sale. Millen, being interested in the welfare of the entire community, leased the property back to the Agricultural Society for a nominal fee. In 1923, the Millen heirs deeded the land to the Agricultural Society. Additional properties have been purchased over the years, bringing the Xenia’s Finest Shoe Store Insurance & Investments Financial Services Tax Preparation 1 W. Washington Street Jamestown, OH 937.675.9321 www.montgomeryii.com the fair should be discontinued for the duration of the war, but the decision was made to go forward as always. “… the Fair Board is trying to do all it can to further all war service, to encourage the higher and better production of food and fibers, to keep our morale and American spirit at the high plane that has been achieved by our forefathers. Let us make this the best Greene County Fair on record.” In 1945, the theme was “Fight with Food and Bonds.” That year the admission was raised from 40 cents to 50 cents. For many years, the Fair ran for three days, but due to continued interest and support, it has been extended to the present schedule. The Fair had been held at various times between August and October until in the 1920s, a definite time was set up for each fair in Ohio so that adjoining counties do not hold their fair the same week. The State Board of Agriculture is responsible for enforcing this rule, and dates may be changed only with the consent of that board. A tornado in 2000 changed the appear- ance of the fairground. New buildings were construted, and a great many improvements to the grounds were achieved. Xenia Shoe & Leather Montgomery Insurance Health & Benefits 114 S.

When the major transportation was horse and buggy, and even in the early days of the automobile, the fair was a daylong event for most families. The fair was the social event for the summer, so folks dressed in their finest to attend. About 1910, there was a young man who entered a contest to be a participant at the Ohio State Fair, his delight in winning turned to something else when he found the “prize” was an assignment with a bucket, shovel and broom to keep the livestock judging area neat and tidy. The 1915 fair boasted a record breaking attendance of 20,000 persons on opening day (Thursday). The fair continued to grow, and the need for more buildings was apparent. Between 1923 and 1939, several buildings were con- structed including the grandstand, cattle barn, horse barn and 4-H building. Permanent lighting for evening events was made possible in 1934, and a WPA project provided city water to the grounds. World War II brought hardships with many of the county’s young men being called to serve their country. In 1943, the question arose as to whether Red Wings • Keem Utility • Birkenstock & More! 21 E.
