Begun in 1924, it is one of the county’s oldest agricultural fairs.  The Township fair is a great experience for everyone!  It is held at the Fairgrounds located off of Village Road on Wednesday through Friday of the fourth week in September every year.  The area’s best agriculture, horticulture, farm equipment and homemade products are on display.  Horse, rodeo and lumberjack shows are also annual activities.

The Fair was originally organized as an activity to display projects prepared by students attending what was called the West Lampeter Vocational School.  During the first twenty-five years, it was held on the playground of the West Lampeter High School.  In 1949, it was moved to the Lampeter Community grounds where it has grown into the major attraction that it is today.

The Fair Directors and Fair Department Committee Personnel comprise a unique blend of farmers, business persons and public spirited citizens who value community service above personal gain.  Many of them take time from their regular occupations to spend long days working for or at the Fair.

The three-day event provides friendly competition among neighbors and a wholesome, educational atmosphere for all ages.  Farmers and small gardeners can compare their produce at one central location.  Children can learn to appreciate quality food products and farm animals.  The Youth Program is especially designed to encourage both boys and girls to exhibit in all categories of baking, canning, cooking, art, sewing, fruits, vegetables, plants and animals.

Come to the Fair!  Meet your neighbors; visit with the exhibitors; taste the food and enjoy the wholesome entertainment. Click here to find out more on their new website.
