Presale: The Shawville Fair - Photos from The Equity, 1977-2005

As we count down to the landmark 170th anniversary of the Shawville Fair, Calumet Media is thrilled to share a very special project that celebrates the unforgettable moments of our local exhibition. Today, we are officially announcing the presale of our brand-new book: The Shawville Fair: Photos from The Equity 1977-2005.

A Nostalgic Look Back For generations, our photographers and reporters have been on the grounds, capturing the smiles, the livestock shows, the midway lights, and the unmistakable spirit of the Pontiac’s biggest weekend. This exclusive photo book opens our archives to take you on a visual journey through nearly three decades of fair history. Whether you are looking for familiar faces, reliving your own childhood memories, or simply celebrating the agricultural heritage of our region, this collection is a must-have keepsake.

Supporting the Pontiac Arena Fund This book is about more than just preserving our past—it’s about investing in our community’s future. We are proud to announce that this release is a dedicated fundraiser to support the Pontiac Arena Fund. By purchasing a copy, you are directly helping to maintain and upgrade the arena so it can remain a vibrant hub for sports, events, and family gatherings for years to come.
