The citizens in and around Lewellen believed that an annual fair for the exhibition of products would be a benefit. It was decided to hold a Corn Show in the fall. On September 21, 1910, the Garden County Fair Association was organized with John Mevich, president; C. G. Berquist, secretary, J. H. Wehn, treasurer. A board of directors consisted of J. C. McCoy, F. H. Barber, Richard Clark, Cal McCormick, Cris McCormick, Stephen Brown, J. H. Orr, Geo. Cochran and Van Delatour. It has held a successful fair each fall with 1919 capping all with the largest attendance and successful financially. The officers then were, Mrs. Beebee, President, Mrs. Crosby, Recording Secretary, Mrs. McCall, Corresponding Secretary.
