Short Story of Oro Fair
1852-2010 The First Oro Fair was held at Rix’s Tavern at the NW corner lot 15, Con
1. It was held in different taverns before settling at the township hall in
1869. In 1868 the Council acquired land, and the Township hall was built
on the present location. Membership fees, a small legislative grant, plus
the odd donation financed the Agricultural Society. In 1877, looking for
new areas of revenue they placed a collection box at the gate and by
sunset it contained the sum of $2.25. This was the forerunner of the first
admission fee that increased to $6.75 by 1884. In 1886 the directors
decided to omit the prize for the best yoke of oxen and add more horse
prizes, marking the end of another era. In 1914 they decided to build a
new building to display the fruits that were the product of the early
pioneer orchards and grain from the fields of Oro. The shed 20’ x 40’
was built east of the hall, when the old shed, built in 1868 was torn down.
This building was also used for the school fair, and in 1954 was moved to
its present location at the north of the grounds and an annex of the same
size added to the west end. In 1920 an open horse shed 16’ x 100’ was
built near the centre of the race track and provided much needed
protection for the horses on hot or rainy days. Needing repairs, it was
removed in 1966.
The Oro School Fair, sponsored by the Department of Agriculture, began
as a separate event in 1915 and continued until 1939, when it was
withdrawn. In 1948 it started in conjunction with the Oro Fair on the
same day and has continued until the present, adding much to the senior
fair. In 1962 a shed was purchased and rebuilt on land acquired by the
society from the Proper farm at the north of the grounds, and a lean-to
added.
1952 the 100th anniversary of Oro Fair was duly celebrated when the Hon.
Leslie Frost, then Premier of Ontario, led a procession of many floats
depicting the past, to officially open the 100th Oro Fair.
In the early years, the Tug-of-war teams and the oxen pulling competition
provided much entertainment and competition. This gradually died out,
and in the past few years we have the Tractor Pull, which has provided a
new interest.
In 1974 the one-day midweek fair changed to a two-day weekend event.
The beef draw also started. In 1978 harness racing discontinued, and we
now have the Tractor Pull, Demolition Derby, ATV Pull and still have the
talent show.
In 1998 13.9 acres was purchased from an adjoining property, which is
used for parking and expanding the fair. Prior to that, two new display
buildings were erected. In 2009 a new Food booth and Secretary-
Treasurer office were added.

Through the years dedicated volunteers and directors have made Oro
World’s Fair one of the most successful rural fairs in Ontario.
