Title	Central Ohio Fair Association Lithograph, Ticket and Premium Book
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Agriculture Expositions and fairs
Place	Mechanicsburg (Ohio) Champaign County (Ohio)
Description	This collection consists of a 9.38" x 7.5" (23.83 x 19.05 cm) commemorative lithograph of the Central Ohio Fair, and a 1" x 3" (2.54 x 7.62 cm) 1875 admission ticket. The 1878 premium book provides information on the rules, classes, and award premiums. The book is forty pages and measures 5" x 8" (12.7 x 20.32 cm). The Central Ohio Fair Association organized in Mechanicsburg's Jones Hall on November 5, 1868. The purpose of the meeting was to form a Union Agricultural Society comprised of Champaign, Clark, Madison, and Union Counties. The first duty of the new society was to find and contract for a suitable site near Mechanicsburg on which to hold the first fair. John C. Baker's Grove, a tract of about 50 acres on the northwest edge of Mechanicsburg, was selected to host the first Central Ohio Fair, which was held September 21-24, 1869. In January 1871, the articles of the association were amended to include the counties of Logan, Delaware, Greene and Franklin--a total of eight counties. The fair was held for 28 years (1869-1896) in Mechanicsburg at the site now known as Goshen Memorial Park.
