About the Springfield Agricultural Society
We are a volunteer-run, non-profit organization in Dugald Manitoba. We were founded in 1882 by local residents who saw a need to create community connection to share our local heritage. ​

The Springfield Agricultural Society is incorporated under The Agricultural Societies Act.
Agricultural societies in Manitoba promote agriculture, rural life, and community engagement. Governed by elected boards, they deliver fairs, exhibitions, and youth programming while maintaining community infrastructure.
