TINGLEY FARMER'S INSTITUTE

The Tingley Farmers' Institute was held for seven years, 1936 to 1942, usually during August. Cattle, hogs, sheep, horses, and ponies were judged, with monetary prizes offered the winners. There were also exhibits in the Household Arts Department, with the businessmen offering many of the prizes to the winners. A three and five-gaited Saddle Horse Show was also held. The HATCHER Players provided entertainment each day.
