of Ohio are pleased to recognize the Knox County Fair on the 2
auspicious occasion of its One Hundred Seventy-fifth Anniversary; and 3
WHEREAS, The Knox County Fair is deserving of acknowledgement, for 4
its success has enabled Ohio to maintain its reputation as one of the 5
best summer events for family fun and entertainment. The first Knox 6
County Fair was held at a resident’s home in 1849, and from these 7
humble beginnings, it has grown to become an expansive event that has 8
served as a true source of pride over the years; and 9
WHEREAS, The Knox County Fair has been championed by all those 10
involved with the Knox County Agricultural Society and its many 11
volunteers who have invested their time and efforts to enhance the 12
quality of life within the surrounding area, and this milestone 13
affords an opportunity for local citizens to showcase their community 14
by featuring a wide variety of food, rides, performances, agricultural 15
and horticultural exhibits, and livestock shows. In providing a fun 16
and exciting atmosphere, the fine people of Knox County have been 17
instrumental to the success of this exemplary annual gathering; and 18
WHEREAS, The Knox County Fair has become distinguished as one of 19
Ohio’s finest events, and we are certain that as it continues to grow 20
and prosper, it will maintain its unfaltering dedication to advancing 21
the field of agriculture. Indeed, the tradition of excellence that has 22
come to represent the fair has, most assuredly, been the hallmark of 23
this community tradition through the passage of time; therefore be it 24
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 135th General 25
