Title
The Pelham Township Agricultural Society Fair
Description
The Pelham Township Agricultural Society Fair, later known as the Fenwick Fair, was held annually, beginning in 1856 in small farming communities like Riceville and Fenwick. These fairs provided opportunities for farmers in Niagara to gather and show off the fruits of their labour (literally), while including the community and helping them appreciate what it meant to be a Niagara farmer. The goal of agricultural societies was to stimulate agricultural improvement within the community.
