remarked
on
September

: "The
Darke
County
Agricultural
Fair
proved
to be
all
that its
friends
could
have
wished
.
We
have had the
pleasure
of
attending
several
old-established
county
fairs
throughout
the
state
, and
can
safely
assert
that
we
have
never
yet
witnessed
a
better
display
of
stock
than was
exhibited
in
Greenville
on the
seventh
and
eighth.
" In
1877
, the
fair
drew
a
crowd
of
10,000
people
for its
opening
day
.
It
continued
to
expand
,
adding
a
Floral
Hall
for the
exhibition
of
plants
and
flowers
, as
well
as
several
new
buildings
for
animals
.
