Every year, county and regional fairs are not-to-be-missed events for communities across the Volunteer State. Food, rides, displays, competitions, performances — it all comes together for a weekend or week or longer for folks to come together and celebrate what makes their communities special.
This year’s season kicks off with the Clay County Fair in Celina June 4-8 and continues through the Hamilton County Fair in Sale Creek in November.
In Lebanon, the Wilson County-Tennessee State Fair runs Aug. 15-24, and organizers go to great efforts to make sure everyone knows this is a statewide affair. This year’s theme is “95 Reasons to Celebrate Tennessee — Sow the Fun. Harvest the Memories,” and The Tennessee Magazine is partnering with the fair to use the same theme for our next Shutterbug Photography Contest. See page 43 for details.
Fair season is an exciting time across Tennessee. Make plans to attend.
