Be sure to take in fair
Wednesday, Aug 12, 2015It is either the 115th or the 116th annual Rainy River Valley Agriculture Society fair. It is unclear if the fair began in 1900 or 1901.
The fair continues to be a tradition in the Rainy River District. Back then, Emo boomed at fair time as it does today.
When it began, farmers brought the very best of their animals to show and create future selling opportunities for breeding stock.
Homemakers put on display the very best of their needlework in dresses and quilts. The very best in baking was on display.
