President: Sarah Farrell
The Richmond Agricultural Society was formed in 1841 as the Carleton County Agricultural Society. In 1895 the Fair moved its operation from Bell's Corners to "Goodwood Park" in Richmond. Since the Agricultural Society's first Fair in 1844, the fall festival has been an opportunity for families to enjoy viewing the best of their neighbour's kitchens, crops, livestock, and machinery. In early years Agricultural Societies pooled resources to improve breeds, to purchase specialized machinery, and to provide a place for the sale of products from the kitchens, gardens, dairy and poultry of members. This cooperative spirit still exists.
