Eastern Rhode Island 4-H County Fair

About us:

The Eastern Rhode Island 4-H County Fair was originally called the Newport County 4-H Fair.  It was held the first two years on Quaker Hill, were the current day Fire and Police stations now exist. The first elected fair president was Frank Coelho.  Today's current day fair president is held by Louis Escobar.

Below are some of the first articles written about the start of the fair and those volunteers we have to give thanks to.  As the fair ran back then by volunteers, so does the present day fair.
