The
County Fair celebrates our community's heritage
and traditions through the
arts,
crafts, music,
food and blue ribbon awards. The fair
features live
entertainment from a variety of local bands
and showcases dozens of exhibits, contests,
demonstrations, food vendors, craft artists, and
hands-on
activities for the children.
Historical
exhibits, such as soap making and blacksmithing,
educate and entertain.
Children's
& Teen activities
and entertainment are continuous throughout the
two day event. Blue ribbon competition in
livestock,
agriculture,
home centered events and
the
flower show attract participants of all
ages. Poultry exhibits, wagon, pony and
train rides all contribute to a good time to be
had by fairgoers. Held at Chester Frost
park on Lake Chickamauga, the beautiful setting
lends itself perfectly to the nostalgic theme of
the fair.
