Fairs where originally set up to show case new agricultural technology, and showcase improvements in livestock breeding. None of that matters to the folks whom might attend a small fair. The original idea was to promote agricultural production, to make food plentiful, and cheap. Agricultural fairs received money from local and State/provincial body's to make this happen. The entire reason for the existence of the fair is gone. Those of us that are still active in commercial agriculture, now go to farm shows to see the latest advancement in agricultural equipment and techniques. There is no longer any real need for the cow show ring with the ability to do genomic testing to see if desired breeding charactistics will transfer from one generation to the next. Most cow shows I have been to, the winning cow may have as many as five named as the owners of the cow, and most the those named don't own and farm land or a dairy herd. They are just investors, former farmers and drovers, cattle dealers. Very few commercial farmers will show cows anymore, really nothing in it but the glory, and a lot of work and $$$$ spent. Fairs will continue to disappear, and or change away from what we new as kids, just like every thing else we new. We where lucky to have been able to view the past, and live in the present.
