Join Danger Live on Location at the Butler Farm Show on Wednesday August 6th from 4pm – 6pm.
“It began with a plow and grew into a family tradition.”
In 1947, a plowing contest was held on the Jack Roe property in Meridian. This was the birth of an idea to get the city folks, businessmen, and farmers together to understand one another better. Some farm organizations sponsored the educational program. The idea was so well received that it was decided to form an organization to keep the event alive. The organization became the Butler Farm Show, Inc., in 1948.
The Butler Farm Show has been, and always will be, a “family-oriented show” as long as there are dedicated directors, members, volunteers, and faithful exhibitors and patrons. Today, as in 1947, our goals remain the same. As the torch is passed to each generation, the values of our founders are instilled in them. All involved persons strive to educate each other and visitors in a productive and entertaining manner, so that farm, city, and business people may better understand each other’s way of life.
