for the 2009 Digby County Exhibition poster
Held in Bear River from August 25th - 28th
History: The first Digby County Exhibition was
held in 1879, and, with the exception of a year or two, has run continuously
since. It is coordinated by the Bear River Agricultural Society,
formerly the Hillsburg Agricultural Society, and has been held in 2 or 3
different locations in the area. In 1970, the name was officially
changed to the Digby County Exhibition, and the Digby County Exhibition
Society was established under the Societies Act. The Bear River
Agricultural Society owns the exhibition buildings, and rents them to the
Exhibition Society for $1. per year. The Exhibition Society carries
out all the maintenance and repairs on the buildings, and coordinates the
show each year. |
