From the Fonda Fair Website,

The society was organized October 13th 1841, and the first fair was held on the courthouse grounds, November 11th and 13th 1841.

The Fonda Fair’s deep history and long-standing tradition showcases agricultural knowledge and produce with so much to explore and learn during this multi-day event. Enjoy a wide variety of agricultural displays and competitions along with works from local artisans. With so much going on, everyone has an opportunity to find something new at this year’s fair!
