History The first fair in Blenheim Township, Oxford County, was held in 1850 as a community event on John Spiers Farm, just outside of Drumbo. It started as an opportunity for local farmers to showcase their crops and livestock. The cattle show was one of the original activities when the fair started, and it has continued on today. The second year the Drumbo Fall Fair, which was still known as a local picnic for local farming families, was held on William Dicksons’ farm. for the next few years a picnic was held on a different farm each year.

Some of the categories were crops, produce, handcrafts, and more to show off as well as having the new barn for the horse show. The fair continued to move around the three local towns of Drumbo, Princeton, and Plattsville until 1891, when the Blenheim Agricultural Society set up permanent buildings in the town of Drumbo.
