For example, community donations and government grants allowed the Spruce Grove and District Agricultural Society to repaint the exterior of the Grain Elevator Museum in spring 2012 for $70,000.

The Ag Society sponsored and organized the Agra Fair, which grew to become one of Western Canada's largest events of its kind, which continued for thirty years.

The goal of the Ag Society is to promote tourism by drawing visitors to a venue which provides cultural, educational, and interpretive information on agricultural processes and history, and the heritage of the Prairie region.

In 1957, a large water tower of 41,000 imperial gallons (190 m3) capacity was set up at McLeod Avenue and Main Street in Spruce Grove.

"It kind of brings Spruce Grove alive," building Chairman George Sewell told CTV News.
