Johnson County
Agricultural Association Membership
The Johnson County
Agricultural Mechanical Society was organized in 1887. During this time
the society held fairs annually for 31 years near where City High is now.
Then in 1929, the annual county 4-H Home Economics Shows began under the
sponsorship of the Extension Service which was associated with Farm
Bureau. Shows were held at various locations including sale barns, tented
areas, the U of I Stadium and Field House.
In 1949, the Johnson County Agricultural Association was formed by people
interested in 4-H who recognized the need for permanent facilities. These
people began taking up donations and seeking out memberships. They then
assumed rights to state and county aid through an affidavit of dissolution
of the 1887 Society.
Memberships are open to individuals, couples, businesses or 4-H clubs
interested in the purposes of the corporation. Members must be 18 years of
age. Each membership is limited to 1
vote. The association now has approximately 200 members.
