For 114 years the Woman's Congress of the Hillsdale County Fair has been one of its pleasing educational features. It has no political affliliations. The group arranges programs from a variety of volunteer talent of all ages, scheduled performances by a very talented person or group each afternoon. Monday thru Friday 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at no charge for all fair goers to enjoy. Open Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for telling of the history. No formal program.
Programs began in 1896 as oratorical and declamatory contests open to the students of Hillsdale County. While the talent has changed over the years it continues to furnish the opportunity for women, men and children to share cultural and various telant between urban and rural residents of Hillsdale County and those who come from other counties of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, etc. We believe we are the only Woman's Congress Organization still in existence throughout the State of Michigan.
