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. 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.

1846, Artie. Whittlesey helped organize the Mahoning Agricultural Association. A speech entitled "Competitive Exhibition as a means for him to wake up all industries to pursue more aggressive interests" at this year's historic Canfield Congregation organized the first Canfield Fair It caused a decision to make. At the request of Whittlesey, the Agricultural Society established a magnificent annual trade fair to gather farmers and their products and compare the experiences associated with memos. According to today's standards, many people do not think it is all important. At the first Canfield fair, we have 250 cows, 51 whole blood cows, 44 horses, 64 saddles and carriages, 37 sheeps and 56 pigs, and an experimental apparatus "Blodget Sewing Machine" And released a new patent.
