Now entering its quarter century of operation, the modern-era Seminole County Fair was organized by legendary Orlando outdoor amusement impresario E. James Strates and his Strates Shows in the late 1990s. The history of county fairs in Seminole County can be traced back to the first such event held on First Street in Sanford in 1915. Following World War II, Campbell-Lossing American Legion Post 53 in Sanford, sponsored the Fair from 1948 to 1976. After an 18-year absence, the Seminole County Fair & Exposition made a three-year return between 1994 & 1996 before Strates and his family reestablished the event in 1999 at Seminole Towne Center.
