Hebron Fair History & Tradition

The Hebron Harvest Fair began in 1971 as a small district fair at a local school, organized by the Recreation Council of Hebron. That same year, sponsorship shifted to the newly formed Hebron Lions Club, which ran the fair on donated land across from RHAM High School. In 1972, the club purchased 84 acres on Route 85, creating what is now the Hebron Lions Fairgrounds, and began expanding—acquiring an additional 16 acres, constructing exhibition and animal buildings, and investing in equipment to support fair operations. Over the years, the fair evolved into a major agricultural event produced by the Hebron Lions Agricultural Society, with volunteers managing the site year-round. The fair’s proceeds fund local and national charitable initiatives through the Hebron Lions Charities, under the guidance of the non-profit Hebron Lions Agricultural Society.
