Various items from Martin County Fair

The Martin County Fair brought neighbors together each year to celebrate local agriculture, craftsmanship, and community pride, and these name badges worn by Ed Higbee offer a glimpse into the volunteer spirit that kept the fair running.

About this object

From the early days when Martin County's economy depended on crops and livestock, the fair served as a showcase for farmers' best work and a gathering place for families across the Treasure Coast. The typed history of the fair preserved here tells the story of how a small county fair grew into an important tradition that connected Stuart's agricultural heritage to its growing community.
