The youth of the county show off their 4-H projects including arts and crafts, foods, displays, and animal exhibits. Citizens proudly show off photography, art, produce, and other items. Many family activities are planned throughout the weekend ie. turtle and duck races, cakewalks, hay scramble, ping pong ball drop, kiddie parade, and more! The Fair is wrapped up by one of the biggest and best community parades in the area on Saturday night followed by entertainment that is free for all.
