Building Project

In honour of the 150th anniversary of the Milverton Fair in 2013, the Milverton Agricultural Society has removed all four of the existing out-dated green buildings that were in various locations across the 20 acre parcel. We have begun to replace them with this new multi-use agricultural building located centrally on the Milverton Fairgrounds. Plans first began in April 2008 and in 2010 progress began to take shape. The building is located north of the permanent washrooms and south of the Rodeo Ring. The building measures 120 feet by 65 feet with a new grass paddock measuring 120 feet x 80 feet to the west of the building.

The theme of the new building project is "Honouring the Past, Preparing for the Future."

The new building will be home to the following annual events:

  • Milverton Rodeo
  • Milverton Fair
  • Milverton Horse Shows
  • Milverton 4-H Beef Club Achievement Day
  • Milverton Tractor Pulls

When the building is not being used for seasonal events, it will be used for winter storage for cars, boats, trailers and RV's.
