Title	Preble County Fair Book
Subject	Business and Labor Agriculture Arts and Entertainment Expositions and fairs Advertisements Celebrations
Place	Eaton (Ohio) Preble County (Ohio)
Description	In 1976 the Preble County Fair celebrated the nation's bicentennial. The cover of the premium book features an artist's rendition of the "Whispering Oak" which stands in Fort St. Clair Park. Dozens of advertisements by area merchants are included. The fair book is 166 pages long and measures 6" x 8.25" (15.24 x 20.96 cm). Twenty-three pages are included here. Preble County is one of the richest agricultural areas in Ohio. The county agricultural society formed in 1850 and hosted its first fair on the grounds of the county courthouse. In 1855, the society purchased land on which to hold the fair and laid out a track for horse races, despite protests from some members of the community. In 1866, the fair moved to its permanent location, where new buildings were constructed and a larger racetrack created. Attendance and premiums grew, and the fair became one of the most popular in the state.
