Manheim Fair celebrates 25th year
MANHEIM - The
Manbeim Community Fair
celebrates its silver an
niversary next week when
the annual celebration gets
underway at the Manbeim
Community Park, here.
The 25th edition of the
Manbeim Community Fair
officially begins on Monday,
Oct 9, when visitors from
near and far will receive the
opportunity to inspect some
of the area’s finest farm
produce and livestock.
Activities will continue
through the 13th, with the
last activities being the hog,
lamb, and beef sales.
Exhibits are to be removed
by 9:90 p.m.
According to directors of
the event the tradition of the
Manbeim Fair’s farm show
has been “promoting
competition and exhibition
of our agricultural,
homemakers, arts and
crafts- and commercial
exhibits among the citizens
of our local community. The
viewing of exhibits is
educational and inspires
creativity and competition in
the minds of the observers.”
“Hie program has been
oriented around having fun,
food, fibre, and fellowship, a
Christian atmosphere that
everyone in a family can
enjoy and share. We hope
that exhibitors will bring
their best products for
exhibits and then come and
invite their friends and
neighbors. Our commercial
exhibits round out the rest of
the community’s nature, so
we encourage all to attend,”
the Manheim Farm Show
Committee reports.
“We have added two more
days to the farm show. We
are extremely grateful to all
of the community people
who have worked to make
this event possible and to all
the patrons and local
