To everyone in the Greater Elizabethtown Area, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the 50th annual Elizabethtown Fair. To celebrate our fiftieth year we have added entertainment, special 50th Fair Merchandise, Beth the Fair Bear mascot and a History Hunt. Our Fair serves as a showcase for local talent and reminds us of the agricultural heritage of Lancaster County. It is a place for families and friends to gather and celebrate all the best in our community.

Fifty years ago, we had our first Fair in the Elizabethtown Community Park. The first year we had one exhibit tent for competitive exhibits, one food stand and a few carnival rides. There were no livestock or commercial vendors, no contests and no entertainment. Fifty years later we have grown to over 3,000 competitive exhibits, over forty food stands, over 150 commercial exhibitors, and over 800 livestock. We have added entertainment on two stages and daily contests.

We off er something for everyone from the Baby Photo Contest to Senior Citizens Day. The Petting Tent, manned by over 100 volunteers, is a very popular attraction for all ages. We offer a place for youth to come together to show their livestock.

As you may be aware, the Fair operates with great cooperation from the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church, as the fairgrounds are located on school property and parking is offered on church property. The church also provides an area for Competitive Exhibits to be displayed and a room for our monthly Board Meetings. I would like to thank the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church for being part of the Fair.

On behalf of the Elizabethtown Fair Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, including volunteers, sponsors, vendors and patrons. Without the tremendous community support we receive the Elizabethtown Fair would not exist. The Elizabethtown Fair has continued to grow and serve as a place for us to gather as a community to exhibit, compete, and to entertain and fellowship together. We have successfully been able to bring together agriculture, business, church and education in a great atmosphere.

Thanks for your support and SEE YOU AT THE FAIR!

Kenneth D. Myer, President

50 Years of Making Memories

Achild’s first taste of cotton candy. The wonderment of a newborn calf. The pride of a blue-ribbon entry. The Elizabethtown Fairgrounds has seen it all.

The roots of the Elizabethtown Fair go back to 1950 when the Elizabethtown Kiwanis Club hosted the first community Farm Fair. The event was first held in September 1950 along Poplar Street (with the midway behind the current Elizabethtown Community Center). Booths were located on a lot at the corner of Bainbridge and South Poplar Streets. In 1954 the Kiwanis Club relocated the Farm Fair across from Lake Placida at Elizabethtown College. This property became known as Kiwanis Park. An office, public restrooms and a large exhibit building were added to Kiwanis Park.

Due to dwindling support and community interest, the Kiwanis Club replaced the Farm Fair with a carnival and pet parade in 1961. The event vanished completely sometime in the 1960s.

In the 1970s, the fair was “reborn” as an added attraction to the Elizabethtown Jaycees Festival held in the Community Park. As a result, the present fair was organized by the Jaycees in 1973 and operated under the name “Marketplace Fair.” There was one exhibit tent for competitive exhibits, one food stand and a few carnival rides. There were no livestock or commercial vendors, no contests and no entertainment.

In 1978, the event officially became known as the Elizabethtown Fair and moved to the old Kiwanis Park ground, which had become part of the Elizabethtown College campus. Under the leadership of the Jaycees, the Fair continued to grow and the club decided an area was needed for just the agricultural portion of the Fair. Elizabethtown Area School District’s “land lab,” the current site of the Elizabethtown Fair, was selected for the agricultural exhibits. In 1980-81, the Fair activities were split between the Kiwanis Park grounds and the current fairgrounds.

In 1981, Agricultural Hall was opened on the new site and the Jaycees ran the first livestock competition on the current fairgrounds. In the same year the Elizabethtown Fair was incorporated as the Elizabethtown Community Fair, Inc. and a Board of Directors and officers were elected to assume Jaycee duties.

Many changes have taken place at the Fair since that time. Competitive Exhibits are displayed in the adjacent Elizabethtown

Brethren in Christ Church and there are now four Exhibit Buildings and an Ag Complex on the fairgrounds. There are now over 3,000 competitive exhibits, over forty food stands, over 150 commercial exhibitors, and over 800 livestock. There are daily contests for all ages and free entertainment.

Under the current direction of the Elizabethtown Fair Board of Directors and Committee, the Elizabethtown Fair remains a permanent, prosperous community event which features may of the original events and contests held at the first fair in 1950. The Elizabethtown Fair now runs Monday through Saturday in late August each year. We are excited to be celebrating our 50th year!

“My mom moved into Juniper Village at Mount Joy. Right o the top, these people are so caring. I can’t say enough for them. They are just so accommodating to make this transition easy. We want my mom to be in a decent clean place, and that’s exactly what this is. It was recommended to me by a friend of mine whose mother was there. The sta members were outstanding. It ’s in the town of Mount Joy, but it still feels like you’re out in the country a little bit. The food was nice. They have people that come in and play musical instruments or sing, cooking demonstrations, church services several times a week, etc. They have a living room with a nice big replace; it’s very nice.”

Sandy, 5 star review from Caring.com

“There is very good communication with the sta and the management and the healthcare sta go above and beyond what they are required to do. I would de nitely recommend it. I have been super happy with everything!”
