History Corner

(Researched by Dale Fisk)

The Adams County Fair and Rodeo was established sometime in the 1920's in Indian Valley some 13 miles where it is currently located. The arena was set in an open field with no fencing. Mentioned for the first time in 1922 in the local newspaper for June. The grounds appeared to have also had a race track. "George Steward had a big barn at the fairgrounds. It stood about where the Indian Valley Community Hall is today. The racetrack and rodeo events were east of the barn. Steward grew beautiful flowers and he fair featured a flower show. His barn housed livestock during the fair. "

The fair was recorded until the beginning of World War II in Indian Valley then by 1947 an official Rodeo board was created and the land in Council was bought in 1948 where the Fair and rodeo then moved to its current location. Since 1948 the tradition of the Adams County Fair continues to be a local community favorite past time.
