Rivers Agricultural Society formed in 1910 and one of its goals throughout the years is to host a fair; there have been fairs for nearly 90 of those 105 years. The 2015 event was Wednesday, July 8 and it began (6:30 a.m.) with a pancake and sausage breakfast which was served to 287 people, 22 more than last year. The day ended (11:15 p.m.) with a fireworks display. In between was a myriad of activities for young and old, rural and urban.
