Winneshiek County Agricultural Association was chartered in 1918 with a purpose to encourage and promote agricultural activities, to take care of the fairgrounds, and hold agricultural exposistions and fairs.
The Winneshiek County Fair has come a long way from lanterns to light bulbs and outhouses to indoor plumbing, but the people and their spirit will always make the county Fair a great family and community event.
There are more than 550 members today!
