1975

In 1975 new restrooms and shower facilities were added to the campgrounds and both the main fairgrounds and campgrounds were connected to the Gallipolis City Northwest Sewer Project. Through twenty-five years the fair has grown and expanded to become officially recognized as the largest exclusive junior fair in the state of Ohio. The need for more land became a necessity, therefore in 1975, the board made a momentous decision and purchased an additional fifty-four acres adjacent to the present fairgrounds. This brought the total acres now owned by the fair board to ninety-five acres.
