Oldest fair in the country? Please help?

Question

What is the oldest (longest running county fair in America? Thanks!

Answer 1

According to their site, the York Fair in Pennsylvania: inhttp://www.yorkfair.org/history.htm

However, there is some disagreement about this: http://www.yorktownsquare.com/2006/09/in...

Topsfield fair also lays claim to the oldest agricultural fair:http://www.topsfieldfair.org/fair%20hist...

The problem is that the documentation is poor in most cases, and often the fairs had cancelled a year or thirty.  Good luck sorting through it all.
