Coe Hill Fair

The Coe Hill Fair was founded in 1882. The first Fair was held in Salem, two miles north of Coe Hill. The second Fair was then held in Coe Hill with the first exhibits in the Town Hall. The horses raced from the hall to the Cenotaph and back on the main street. In the early 1900s the Fair moved to its present location. A grandstand was built prior to 1920, partly for the Fair and partly to seat fans of the champion Coe Hill baseball team. Before cars became numerous, a special train came from Trenton each year. Many barns and buildings have been added to the grounds. In 1969 the CNR Station from Coe Hill was moved to the fair grounds and set up for display. In 2017 we celebrate our 135th year. Many new things have been done to better the Fair such as repairs on buildings, new bleachers for your comfort, new fences for protection, and in 2014 a new roof was put on the Agricultural Hall. Grounds are used for ball games, Canada Day celebrations, picnics, reunions and more. We trust that many more improvements will be completed over time.
