The produce, the products, and the exhibits by organizations such as the Burlington County Historical Society all looked worthy on Wednesday. But to me, the farm fair is about the animals - and the kids who labor over and love them. I could see the devotion on the faces of Mansfield Township neighbors and pals Nick Kester and A.J.

Welcome to the 2017 Surry County Agricultural Fair Thanks to all who helped us celebrate the 70th year of the Surry County Agricultural Fair! There's a midway, cotton candy, high flying acrobats, blue ribbons and more! Did you know that the tradition of agricultural fairs in the US is over two hundred years old? That's right, the very first fair was held in Massachusetts in 1811, and the first in North Carolina in 1853. Fairs allowed farm families to socialize, exhibit their products and learn about the latest in agricultural innovation.
