HISTORY OF THE STRONG AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY

Nov. 12th, 1884, at Dennville, a group of interested persons met for the purpose of

forming an Agricultural Society in the Township of Strong.

The first Strong Agricultural Fair was held October 6, 1885; located on Paget Street on

Lot 23. In 1903 the Society purchased the present property from Wm. Phillips. An exhibition

hall was built that year, replaced in 1926 by a bigger building which is now used for poultry

exhibits and storage.

The Strong Agricultural Society is a strong supporter of community and family events.

We have been fortunate to work with various other organizations to host events. The Society

is pleased to be able to provide the use of our grounds for events and activities for the

community.

The Strong Agricultural Society donated the area of land that the SSJ Arena currently

resides upon. The community was in need of an arena, and in 1955, hockey enthusiasts

moved an arena from Huntsville to the north-east corner of the property. In 1978 this was

replaced with the Sundridge/Strong/Joly Arena which serves the community throughout the

year and holds the exhibits for the Annual Fall Fair. Community ball diamonds have found

space on the agricultural grounds. Over the years various ball teams have built, fenced, added

sod, and installed lights for the diamonds that exist today.

The cost for holding our annual fair is increasing yearly and it takes many volunteers

and members to help make it happen. We are grateful for local area businesses, private

donations as well as our own fundraising efforts. This support and sponsorship help the

Society to stage the fair each year. We try and take advantage of any provincial funding that

is available. The Special Prize List is another opportunity for members of the community to

get involved and sponsor prizes to enhance the fair exhibits. A very successful annual

pancake breakfast is served on Easter Saturday, and a delicious spaghetti dinner is held in

July.

In 1997, the Heritage House, donated by Mary and David Ballantine from the Mark

Hall Estate, Joly Township, was moved to the agricultural property. A grand opening of this

restored Heritage Building was held in July 2004. The garden and building add to the concept

of life 100 years ago. Activities are held at the house to demonstrate quilting, candle making,

cooking, etc.

For 134 years, the Society has continued to grow, thanks to enthusiastic exhibitors,

interested individuals, and community groups and businesses. It would be impossible without

you! See you at the fair the 2nd weekend after Labour Day.

5. Pine Glen Farm Roots and Vegetables New Entry The Three Sisters

Corn, beans, and squash are called the “three sisters.” By the time European settlers arrived

in America in the early 1600s, the First Nations people had been growing the “three sisters”

for over three centuries. The vegetable trio sustained the Native Americans both physically

and spiritually. In legend, the plants were a gift from the gods, always to be grown together,

eaten together, and celebrated together.

Each of the sisters contributes something to the planting. Together, the sisters provide a

balanced diet from a single planting. As older sisters often do, the corn offers the beans

needed support. The beans, the giving sister, pull nitrogen from the air and bring it to the soil

for the benefit of all three. As the beans grow through the tangle of squash vines and wind

their way up the cornstalks into the sunlight, they hold the sisters close together. The large

leaves of the sprawling squash protect the threesome by creating living mulch that shades the

soil, keeping it cool and moist and preventing weeds. The prickly squash leaves also keep

away raccoons, which don’t like to step on them. Together, the three sisters provide both

sustainable soil fertility as well as a heathly diet.

To try them in your garden, make a mound of soil about a foot high and four feet wide.

When the danger of frost has passed, plant the corn in the mound. Sow six kernels of corn an

inch deep and about ten inches apart in a circle of about 2 feet in diameter. When the corn is

about 5 inches tall, plant four bean seeds, evenly spaced, around each stalk. About a week

later, plant six squash seeds, evenly spaced, around the perimeter of the mound.

www.almanac.com

Open to Juniors, Teens and Adults in each of their sections. Prepare a display of the “Three

Sisters”, corn, beans and squash, and include a photograph of them in your garden. Adult

entries should include a note identifying the variety of each shown.

Prizes: $7.50, $5.00 and $2.50 in each section.
