Nov. 12th, 1884, at Dennville, a group of interested persons met for the purpose of forming an Agricultural Society in the Township of Strong.

The first Strong Agricultural Fair was held October 6, 1885; located on Paget Street on Lot 23. In 1903 the Society purchased the present property from Wm. Phillips. An exhibition hall was built that year, replaced in 1926 by a bigger building which is now used for poultry exhibits and storage.

The Strong Agricultural Society is a strong supporter of community and family events. We have been fortunate to work with various other organizations to host events. The Society is pleased to be able to provide the use of our grounds for events and activities for the community.

The Strong Agricultural Society donated the area of land that the SSJ Arena currently resides upon. The community was in need of an arena, and in 1955, hockey enthusiasts moved an arena from Huntsville to the north-east corner of the property. In 1978 this was replaced with the Sundridge/Strong/Joly Arena which serves the community throughout the year and holds the exhibits for the Annual Fall Fair. Community ball diamonds have found space on the agricultural grounds. Over the years various ball teams have built, fenced, added sod, and installed lights for the diamonds that exist today.

The cost for holding our annual fair is increasing yearly and it takes many volunteers and members to help make it happen. We are grateful for local area businesses, private donations as well as our own fundraising efforts. This support and sponsorship help the Society to stage the fair each year. We try and take advantage of any provincial funding that is available. The Special Prize List is another opportunity for members of the community to get involved and sponsor prizes to enhance the fair exhibits. A very successful annual pancake breakfast is served on Easter Saturday, and a delicious spaghetti dinner is held in July.

In 1997, the Heritage House, donated by Mary and David Ballantine from the Mark Hall Estate, Joly Township, was moved to the agricultural property. A grand opening of this restored Heritage Building was held in July 2004. The garden and building add to the concept of life 100 years ago. Activities are held at the house to demonstrate quilting, candle making, cooking, etc.

For 133 years, the Society has continued to grow, thanks to enthusiastic exhibitors, interested individuals, and community groups and businesses. It would be impossible without you! See you at the fair the 2nd weekend after Labour Day.
