Middleville Fair celebrates 175 years

In 1851, farmers in Middleville and the wider Lanark Township decided it would be a good idea to form an association to share information, a decision that led naturally to a “show fair” day once a year. This year, the Middleville Agricultural Society celebrates 175 years of the Middleville Fair this Saturday, Sept. 19. The official recognition of the anniversary will come at 10:30 a.m., when 10 past presidents join with local MP Scott Reid and MPP John Jordan for a ceremony
