Description	This book contains the list of officers of the Preble County Agricultural Society and its rules and regulations. It also includes a list of premiums and 19 pages of advertising for Eaton merchants. The ninth annual Preble County Fair was held in 1858. The fair book is 36 pages long and measures 5.25" x 4" (13.34 x 10.16 cm). 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.
