Established in 1846 in Canfield, Ohio, Mahoning County 's Agricultural Gardening Association established a major exposition. The first exhibition was held in a small livestock show, an agricultural competition, and a lush village including one or two horse races.

When the original exhibition venue was established, they were small in size and the building consisted of several huts. Sometimes it is better to buy extra land over the years and have added more spacious buildings. The garden hall was built in 1869 and is said to have been built by the same person who built Canfield Old Court Building. Other early fair buildings have concert halls and mechanic halls

Mahoning County made a big change in 164 years since the Canfield Fair was held. In 1846, it was almost completely agriculture, and today it has become a prosperous industry and a service oriented community.

However, looking back on the past, present and future of the show, some of its key assets are over time. As in 1847, the 2017 Canfield Fair is still the center that celebrates the important role of agriculture in Mahoning County. Thousands of tourists took a walk along the way and they had plenty of opportunity to admire the local farmers. Throughout the Canfield Fair and throughout the year, farmers in the 21st century continue to supply nutritious food to our table and continue to supply important fuel to the regional economy.

Did you know that the pumpkin show is not necessarily part of the Canfield fair? It began in 1962 when this year made the 57th pumpkin show. This is due to Homer Schaeffer and Ray Carr's thought that Canfield Fair needs a pumpkin show similar to the Circleville Pumpkin Show in southern Columbus. In the first year, the winning pumpkin was planted with a weight of only 85 pounds and John Gavin. Over the years, pumpkin size is gradually increasing. By 1991, the maximum was 544 pounds, and it was planted by Ron and Cathy Moffett who won many championships in the 1990s. Jeríros exceeded the 1,000 pound threshold in 2008, and he won many championships. Another Jerry, Jerry Snyder created a 15, 12 pound record in 2017. This year's winner brought up by Chuck Great House earned 1,381 pounds.

This year's Fair Week also brought a blue band to the future. Approximately six months ago, the Canfield Fair Executive Board had a $ 4.5 million significant capital improvement campaign, including an event center designed to host 81,000 square feet of Youth Fair Stadium and annual events until 2018 Announced. That year is more conspicuous, after that. In only 6 months, 44% of the target for 5 years has been reached.
