Grande Prairie Regional Ag & Exhibition Society

The Grande Prairie Regional Agricultural & Exhibition Society is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1910 which oversees the development & daily operations of Evergreen Park.

The first agricultural fair and rodeo was held in 1910 at a location near where the Grande Prairie Farmer’s Market stands today. Without the benefit of an exhibition building, displays of vegetables, grains, canned goods, needle work and other items were proudly arranged under the clear blue northern sky, with livestock herded nearby.
