LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) – The Allen County Fair is celebrating a major milestone this year—175 years of tradition, fun, and community spirit.

To mark the occasion, fairgoers have the opportunity to purchase commemorative merchandise, including hats, shirts, and sweatshirts, all featuring the official 175th anniversary logo. Items are currently available online through the fair’s website.

Allen County Fair celebrates 175 Years with commemorative merchandise

“We felt like it was a really cool way to kind of commemorate this year's celebratory year, being the 175th,” said Troy Elwer, Promotions and Operations Manager. “The way that you can actually purchase that merchandise, if you go to our website at allencofair.com, you'll see a scrolling screen at the top that says, fair wear. You click on that and you can make your purchases online.”

Elwer added that once fair season gets closer, the merchandise will also be available for purchase at the fair’s administration office.
