For
112 years the Women’s Congress of the Hillsdale County Fair has been one of
its pleasing educational features. It
has no political affiliations.
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 Sat. 11:00 a.m. – 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 talent 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.
