In 2006, the Maine Beef Producers, Boer Goat Breeders of Maine and
the Maine Sheep Breeders Association collaborated to create a
multi-specie event that would help livestock breeders promote the
genetic advancement of various breeds. Over the years, several other
organizations have lent their support to expand the Expo to include
equine, rabbits and fiber animals. Windsor Fairgrounds has allowed NELE
to hold its event on the grounds since it first started.
The Expo
continues to incorporate various aspects of agriculture during the third
weekend each May.
