There aren’t many institutions that make it to 165 years old. But the Hamilton County Agricultural Society can proudly carry that flag.
In a city like Cincinnati, it is easy to take for granted the longevity of the Hamilton County Agricultural Society, but their tenacity and passion must be celebrated.
Established in 1819 by William Henry Harrison, the Hamilton County Fair, the oldest county fair in Ohio, was held in 1820. In 1855 it moved to the current location in the Carthage neighborhood.

They are fluffy, they are cute, and they are part of the food system. Hamilton County ChickQuest is well underway with the first clutch of chicks finding their new home on Friday, April 23, 2021.
This spring more than 600 eggs were incubated, hatched, and cared for by students across Hamilton County. From the youth in the urban core to those in the far reaches of the county, every teacher shared the same story of wonder and excitement, frustration, and relief.
If you have never hatched an egg, it is not a terribly difficult process if you have the right equipment.

Join OSU Extension Educator, Joe Boggs online April 28th at 4:00 pm for a presentation, titled Periodical Cicada Brood X (10): Apocalyptic or Just Ho-Hum?
Brood X (10) of the 17-year periodical cicadas will emerge over a large swath of southwest Ohio this spring. Will it be as bad as some fear? Nothing to worry about? Or, somewhere in the middle? This presentation will focus on the identification, biology, and potential damage caused by these periodical visitors.
